HP g50 laptop vista no sound

[Galdorf]

I have tried removing drivers and re-installing has no effect , if it was xp i would have no problems fixing but vista is another story.

Conexant cx20561 chipset

check to be sure the audio properties are using the notebook speakers as output. Vista has a nasty habit of assigning the line out or headphones for output. Also, I had a run of hp notebooks with the IDT audio chip. The HP drivers would never work, so I downloaded the driver from dell. Worked like a charm.

its output are speakers odd thing if i check audio properties it says no driver is installed?.

I have installed the drivers under diagnostic tab it shows everything is working ok.

Dumb question: Have you tried downloading the HD drivers straight from conexant or realtech?

[Galdorf]

There are no drivers for it on conexant website im going to try to download a similar driver for same chipset from toshiba.
I know vista uses an openAL system for sound it maybe possible that the vista sound system is corrupt.

Seems the driver is stuck and corrupted now how to clean this thing out, easy for xp not so easy in vista.

According to logs there is a problem with the WMI.
