    Recently had system32 failure and a friend "successfully" recovered my programs and file and reinstalled.

    However he failed to install modem (found AT&T help) and now I am realizing audio. I have no speaker icon on bottom right.

    One "error" I seem to get is from control panel>sounds and devices>audio tab

    I get "nothing" there. ie no default audio devices present.

    I have also carried out control panel>system>devices>audio devices. Carried out updates and all seem to show no obvious issues.

    I have loaded the report from Everest.

    I have tried to reinstal Legacy audio driver though I am not sure it is at fault and I can't find a download online.

    Thanks so much and let me know what else can do!

    :wave Welcome to Major Geeks! :major
    There's a good chance that the only drivers that installed were whatever Windows picked up and installed automatically. So, using the link I've provided below, download and install the chipset, video, audio, network/LAN. DO NOT mess with the BIOS download as it may cause bigger problems. Install the chipset driver first, reboot, then install the rest.
    Good luck! I hope this helps!
