I have an old HP Pavillion dv9000, it has been with me for a while. I took it with me to Iraq back in 2007-2008 and it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I don't currently have the funds to replace it, and it still works quite well for my needs as a full-time student; however, last week I moved into a new apartment and discovered that for whatever reason it no longer recognizes its onboard sound card or speakers. Additionally, sound no longer works through the headphones, and I've also attempted to update drivers but it made no difference. There is a red circle x over the speaker icon in the tray and I recieve a "No Audio Output Device is installed" message when I scroll over it. I'm running on Windows Vista and the speakers worked fine just last week. Lastly, I attempted to find the sound card myself to see if perhaps it needed reseating, but I had no idea where to look. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
