I have an EI 3103 laptop, Intel Celeron M440. I was using Itunes the other day and sound was perfect then my pc froze, when I rebooted it the sound icon had a red cross and "no audio output device is installed" came up, my drivers are still installed and i even reinstalled them just incase (realtek high definition) also did two system restores and updated with windows update. This isnt the first time this has happened, it did when i first bought it but really don't remember how i fixed it. Another thing, when i went to Device Manager the option for sound did not exist, i used the Add Hardware application which worked but all i get is the yellow exclamation mark saying "this device cannot start (code 10)" on realtek audio. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
