Hello all,im working on my dad's computer i cant get the sound to work or mic, it's onboard(built in the motherboard). I tried reinstalling and updated still no sound, when i go to sound recorder it wont record, the mic is good. Any sugesstions? I've done reinstalling and my dad does not want to put a sound card in when its already got one on the motherboard :blink:. :whistling:

Hi, nic777 sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
the only thing I can think of is to delete it from device manager and then reboot,
computer should come up and say it found new hard ware, see if that works.
