Go to Start --> Run, and type in services.msc.

A window will pop up with a list of services. Scroll down to Windows Audio. Right-click
and click on Properties.

Make sure that "Startup type" is set to automatic. Also, make sure, under "Service
status," start is selected. (Mine was somehow set on stopped. I clicked start and
-- voila! -- it worked.)

Hope this works for you, too.


Thnx alot from UAE
its useful and helpful way
and no need to re-install anything anymore =D

you need to install your sound/motherboard (smothimes also called chipset) drivers off of the Compaq/HP site
TRY MY SUGGESTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
