I have tried to update my drivers on both the Toshiba and Realtek... both with no luck.... Also I have made sure that Window Audio in services was on.

Also when I go to Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, everything is grayed out.. which doesn't give me a chance to select a choice.

PLEASE HELP.. I'm going crazy!

did you update the chipset driver, it's here at Intel http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...na l&lang=eng

check Device Manager / System Devices / is the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture installed.

you may need to check BIOS to see if onboard audio is enabled

Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore – click radio button Create a restore point and follow instructions
