Haroo it sound like the driver may need updating. Have you done any recent windows updates.

 

I'm going to bow out on this one to dlb he is familiar with a update from MS KB888111, which I'm not familiar with but this could solve your problem.
Hang on for a few and someone with more experience will probably stop through...

 

I have automatic up dates....so I believe I am current............

 

You didn't mention which service pack you're running, and it really does matter with HD audio issues. SP2 requires one fix, SP3 a different fix. You also didn't mention if the sound is actually working on your PC. Nor did you tell us which sound chip/card you have installed. So, if you could please answer these questions, we can offer some help....
:-D
