Hi all.
Two days ago I have installed Windows 7. I've installed all the drivers, everything went fine except for the fact that there was no sound. Since then I have reinstalled the system, formatted disk C and re-installed it again and still there is no sound. My motherboard is ASRock G41M-VS and, as fat as I know, it has an onboard sound card.
In Device Manager under Sound, video and game controllers I have "High Definition Audio Device". No question or exclamation marks, nothing. When I go to properties it tells me that "This device is working properly". And my drivers are up to date. However, in Control Panel/Hardware and Sounds/Sound it tells me that no audio devices are installed.
I have found many solutions to this problem online, but none of them worked. I've also enabled onboard sound in BIOS (although there is no option there called "Integrated Peripherals" - and that's what most online guides told me to find. But there was something about onboard sound, so I enabled it but nothing changed) .But whatever I did there always was (and is) a little red cross on the speaker on the windows toolbar and when I choose it it says: "No Audio Output Device is installed". Windows 7's troubleshooter says that it can't identify the problem.
I'm not sure whether there is something really wrong or maybe I've missed something really simple and so I hope you'll be able to help me :)
