Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding.
------------------
When I go to Device Manager, all the codecs are in, all the drivers are in with yellow flags, that is, it has the software but no hardware. I use my Toshiba system CD and reinstall the RealTek and Virtual Sound but it doesn't work. I have had this problem continuously since I got the computer. Before I was able to reinstall the codecs, etc. and sound and it would work sometime, now it doesn't work. I cannot talk on the phone, hear music, or actually anything sound related, not even system sounds.
