alrighty, i am 100% completely out of ideas and rather frustrated.
i have no sound, i cant do anything in the audio section as they are all grey'd out. all drivers are working and all drivers are up to date
well with the one exception [ Microsoft kernel acoustic echo canceler ] it claims its running a duplicate evan tho the other doesnt show up.
i have tried pretty much everything i and my computer tech can think of and i'm still up shit creek with out both paddles
oh btw ignore the sound card info as it was a test to see if it made any difference between onbored sound and sound card i got the same result.
i only want onbored sound for now
any advice wld be very much appreciated..
