Hi ksiemb, Thanks for your quick response. That advice was mentioned in one of the many forums I went through trying to rectify the thread but without any success. Any other solutions you can think of would be appreciated.

This also may have been suggested.
Device Manager: Delete ant "Other Devices marked with Yellow? or ! "
Audio device - If exist, uninstall Driver.

Download appropriate drivers to desktop.

Reboot - Point to deskto drivers when hardware wizard asks
