Hi,

I have a yellow question mark in device manager under Other devices/ Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus. When I try to reinstall the driver, I get the error message that the wizard could not find the necessary software.

I have a Lenovo SL500 model number 27463SU. Can you help me get my sound back? Thanks.

Yes, I downloaded 6aa112ww.exe from the Lenovo site and the install wizard tells me the file already exists on my computer. I overwrited the existing file a couple of times, but still no luck.

I apologize for this dumb question. I read through the entire string of posts, but I don't see details on how to find the Microsoft uaa driver. When I look in device manager, I can't find it -- I looked under Other devices and Sound, video and game controllers.

Start at post 5 and if that doesn't help then reboot into Safe Mode
Go to Device Manager and right click on the driver for audio and uninstall it.
Reboot into normal mode and see if it will install itself.
Does it work then?
