    Hi.I need your help urgently, please.
    I bought my Laptop Presario Presario 3614 AU almost 3 years ago and few weeks ago the sound in my Compaq disappears suddenly from time to time.
    I managed to bring it back few times by restarting the laptop but it doesn't always work. I've also reinstalled the drivers, so it worked again, but no more now after I've turned it off.
    When I tried to open volume control, it said that there is no device installed, but in device manager all seems ok. I don't understand why all these troubles. Someone adviced me to install audiopatch by naven. I've done all the steps but still no sound (may be because no device?)
    I also tried to install more recent drivers but failed because cannot detect device. True in Systeme Information, no device for sound.
    I used XP SP3,
    AMD Turion x2
    1Gb Ram
    I need it for my job. Please help

    Any updates or new software installation that you are aware of when this started happening?
