Troubleshooting sound. Windows Vista

[webgal318]

I tried a set of known good speakers without any luck.
Uninstalled the audio and, upon start-up, windows recognized the sound and reinstalled it.
I am running a virus scan now. There was no antivirus software.
No antispyware either. Could the driver files be damaged?
I am stumped.
Thanks everyone.

Hello Sylvia,
Vista is VERY picky about hardware. I don't know anything about your system... Are you running a sound card or are you using on-board sound? Did your system come with Vista loaded on it, or did you install Vista yourself?
