    Same problem here, no sound through the internal speakers but fine through headphones, and I solved it - for me anyway

    I spent two months googling the problem, re-installing drivers etc

    The problem was the headphone jack socket - it must have been dirty and the system thought the headphones were connected when they weren't, so it didnt play through the speakers - I just stuck in the headphone jack and fiddled around till the sound came on

    Two months wasted !

    Simple peeps!
