So for some reason my laptop decided to get rid of my audio drivers…
A) how do i fix
b) why did it happen
try restoring to a previous date. Hard to say…everything is onboard the MB.
This happened to me also 2 nights ago.
I determined it was because of a windows update that was run. I rolled back to a week earlier
Yeah could be a windows update that was recently released. We have been getting a lot of calls with people getting errors about relocated DLLs. The only thing we can determine is the update
microsoft sucks
aren’t you guys my vendor? blah blah…no lady microsoft messed up your computer, call them and whine
:tup: system restore fixed er up
megahurtz got stoled, reboot
either that or just find your driver/restore cd and get the drivers and reinstall from there, otherwise download the drivers from OEM website
Yeah, I wouldn’t rollback the update, because windows update is still going to push it back down.
Go download the driver and reinstall.
hopefully by then microsoft will have fixed the problem… with another update. 
The audio driver on DELL’s website doesn’t/didn’t work. I guess I’ll try to find the OEM CD
Boot up in safe mode and make sure there are no ghost drivers in device manager (ones that don’t show up in normal boot, but do in safe mode). Remove any you find, reboot, reinstall drivers in normal mode.
