:wave Welcome to Major Geeks! :major

Thanks for starting with the Everest report. It makes things easier and quicker.... the first thing you need to do is to install the chipset driver. Restart the PC, and install the Microsoft UAA Hi-Def Audio Update, known as KB888111. Then install your sound driver, and reboot again. Here's the links:
Chipset Driver
KB888111 (Microsoft UAA Hi-Def Audio Update)
Sound Driver
If the audio doesn't work after this and you have Windows Service Pack 3 (and you do), go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the sound driver, restart the PC when it's completed. If the New Hardware Wizard opens when your desktop loads up again, just cancel it. Then follow the steps in this thread to 'trick' SP3 into thinking that it's SP2 temporarily, then install the sound driver. SP3 has a known issue with KB888111 and HD audio....

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the help that got me up and running again.:-D
