hello All and major Geeks!!!! im glad I found this place "sniffle" ):

small problem, I am about to throw my computer from the nineteenth floor of my apartment building, and was hoping that one or many could assist me with an audio problem that would prevent me from doing so, see music is my drug, and with out audio, I cannot listen to ANYTHING, I have been pretty much on edge this week after my old laptop betrayed me, and took my plugged in music player with it...ghaa... and the only resource I thought would be able to secure me with an abundance of noise to sooth my irritation would be a new computer. so i went and did my thing a day later it was brought to me, my life source, my beautiful music searching info box..... and now i wish it was dead.

so heres my problem..... when i go to volume control this dick wad of a message pops its ugly grey screen at me and says, -> there are no active mixer devices available.
okay so i install what looks like a promising thing as a driver for high definition audio bus on my cpu, and i still get the coded middle finger.

Iuninstall and reboot hoping that it would do something but no, it still holds a grudge at me.
It keeps giving me grief with a code 28 on high definition audio device , and ive tried installing different software, but for some reason, it stil hates me. the computers a IBM workin on lenovo. i also tried that microsoft fix it thing. "Diagnose and repair ;sound playback problems automatically"- my [bleep] it repared dittly squat,.
glad i found this place, any help would be freakin sweet.

Hi and bananazack92
Have you checked the Device Manager for either a yellow ! or red X against the audio device?

Right click on the device and if it gives you the option to install the driver choose that option, let us know the result.

Yes just be sure to follow the instructions that I provided earlier.
