Hi there.
I just stumbled across this site.
I too reformatted my computer about 4 months ago and since then I haven't had any sound.
I'm a complete computer novice so you might have to tell me what to do exactly.
But what I have gathered, I downloaded the Belarc Advisor and this is what it is telling me:
