Hi there,
You nead to install a Microsoft Universal Audio driver first. Otherwise your machine wont detect a sound device.
Here is a link to download the software.

After downloading you will need to run the teh file called KB888111 and extract all files.. then just click the setup.
After its completed just reinstall your audio drivers and it should work.

Regards,

try installing the Microsoft UAA HD Audio update, known as KB888111. I'm assuming you're using Windows XP. If not using XP, then DO NOT install this update, and provide the Everest report. You can download the KB888111 installer from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com.ar/so/KB888111/eng/kb888111xpsp2.exe
Some other below:: Here's the direct download link for the RealTek audio driver: (33MB)

If you have Sigmatel audio: (23.xMB)

I'd also grab the chipset drivers. Here's the drivers download page for all other (stock) hardware:

though itz unclear to me of wat os u r using..
assuming that u r using win xp pro sp2..n directx installed..
check if Audio device is enabled in bios..

howevr, download microsoft kb888111 update n install it..u need to re-install or update the device driver (may b manually)..logon to internet n seek the package/audio driver..along wid the company, there will b a list of such site n driver download links if u search by the model name on a search engine (like google)..
download them onto a location; if the driver is in a zip format, unzip it,if itz in .exe form, just run it; if done manually it'll ask for the correct driver and location; relocate the path and a .inf file (wat it'll ask for)....goto the device manager n verify, if installed properly..!!
also download n install k-lite mega codec pack....

if not fixed try using a standby pci snd card (in such case it'll b a confirmed case of ur system board is likely to b defective)..
but always better to consult ur system admin/vendor....

you need to install Chipset drivers. SM bus will be recognized automaticly when you install chipset drivers

Try searching on google for KB888111. It's a microsoft software that is for the HD Audio bus that corrects a lot of problems.  Run driver update and point to the software you downloaded for 888111 and then install the software for the audio.

go to the support site for your motherboard, there you will get universal bus architecture device drive. Install this before you install the Audio/Sound driver.

If you now the brand of your motherboard, visit their website. It should contain the drivers needed.
# Or, I recommend Driver Genius. A application which can backup all (or some) of your drivers, and it also holds the feature of scanning your computer and check for newer and updated drivers, which it also may download for you :)

Please go to control panel and click Sound, Speech and Audio devices. after click on audio devices in this go to audio tabin this sound playback and recording. is enabled and hardware is available .
If yes make sure that its not muted. If no Please re-install full drivers once again.
