Thanks for your reply, Jaco. I got lucky and got back my sound by reloading the original driver off of the recovery program. I found more posts on the HP site where others experienced the same problem. The instructions were easy to follow and I was very pleased to have sound again. I just assumed that I had dislodged a connector based on my experience with sound cards in desktops. I was just before tearing into the chassis to look around. Thank you for your input. I did not know that sound was integrated into chips on the motherboard. I obviously have no business tearing into a laptop.
