    This is most likely a software issue, but here it goes.
    (Btw i reinstalled the audio drivers already a few times)

    So here's the problem. My integrated speakers aren't working for some really odd reason. After installing the drivers the first time they worked, I put in headphone jack, took it back out and they didnt work anymore. I thought it was some issue with my program, so I restarted the computer and the headphone jack works but the speakers dont work.

    HOWEVER, I've noticed that when i plug in my headphone jack just 3/4th of the way in the output, the speakers work if i hold it RIGHT there without moving my hand. So the speakers aren't dead, but there's some software issue or something. Does anyone know how I could fix this? I guess i'll do a clean remove of the audio drivers and reinstall them, hopefully this might solve something.. hopefully..

    I found the problem, it is hardware afterall.. Unfortunately. What happens is the audio headphone jack is lifted too far up and its touching something inside the computer. I pressed it down for a few minutes and its working again :)
