No output audio Device is installedClosed

Question

Hello,  

I have been trying to solve this issue for 4 days it's driving me crazy. 
So I have an HP laptop, with Windows Vista. 
We already sent it in twice for the same problem. We don't have sound anymore. We have a red cross on the speaker and the message "No output Device is installed" Each time we sent it in, it worked for a few months, and then we lost the sound again. So I'm trying too fix the problem myself this time. 
I went to Control Panel, device Manager, system devices. But then I do NOT have the High Definition Audio Device part anymore, so I'm stuck there.  
I tried to download updates. Nothing is working. 
If someone could help me that would be great! 

C. 


Configuration: Windows Vista / Safari 532.5

Vista should support pnp (plug and play) so there is obviously an issue here - it should recognise your hardware when it boots.  Google the precise specs of your laptop, locate the manual and locate the device for your audio.  Then download the drivers from HP's website.
