    Still the same after a reboot?
    What does Device Manager report?

    Easy on the shouting there! :pac:

    If you go in to Device Manager which lists all installed devices, does it actually list it there or list something with a yellow icon on it?

    What make / model is the laptop?

    Does the audio work if you log in as admin?
