If anybody wants to solve this one for me, here's what I know. I have
no audio to the speakers and no audio to the headphone jack. Nothing
is muted in the volume control. There are no error states shown in
the Device Manager.


Go to Control Panel and then 'sound'. Pick an event that has a sound
associated with it (like 'windows start'). If the '' or speaker next
to the sound name is black, that means your driver is installed
correctly. If it is grey, that means it is not installed correctly.
If it is black and you click on the , the sound should play. If you
can't hear it you either have the 'mute' on in the volume control box,
or your speakers are plugged into the wrong hole in your sound card.
Or you have set up your sound system to use a different output socket
on the card.

Often these problems are caused by a program that reconfigures the
sound card. This either re-routes the audio signal, or turns it off.
