No audio on Hp Pavilion

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

For three days now been having a problem with audio device on home PC. In
Device Manager-Sound, there are no exclamation points, red signals, nothing.
The audio device Realtek AC'97 audio has latest driver (3/25/05). When I
check Properties on device there is an indication that the device is working
properly, but when I open the tabs in Properties, the audio, midi and mixer
all say that the driver's been enabled but has not been started. In Control
Manager-Sound and Audio indicates there is no audio device in the PC. Spent
11 hours with HP troubleshooting and they can't find the problem. Can anyone
else help or is time to talk new sound card or even pc?

Specs
Hp Pavilion a622n
Os: MS XP Home Edition
Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2
Physical Memory: 512 MB
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
2.08 GHz
PC is little under two years old

Control Manager, computer displays message that there are no audio devices
installed. Help!
