    I just bought this laptop today, I've just finished installing everything, sound worked before, but somehow now it doesn't work, I've checked and the update is the most recent update, no earphones plugged in, and sound is at max. I hope I don't have to send it back in after just buying it :S :( Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    edit: I've also restarted and powered off and back on and didn't help.

    Do this for me:

    Control Panel -> Hardware And Sound -> Sound. Right-click on your speakers and make sure they're enabled. Now double-click on it, then go to advanced. Hit Restore Defaults, Apply, then try to run the test.
