Device Manager Doesn't Show Speakers

I used my device manager to disable my speakers and mic about two months. I figured I could easily enable them when I was done with what i was trying to do. When I went back to my device manager, my speakers and mic were not there. Now when I put my cursor over the sound icon (with the red "x"), it tells me "No Audio Output Device is Installed." Many people have told me to install drivers, that doesn't work. Some say i should uninstall my audio from the device manager and restart my computer, but my speakers DO NOT appear AT ALL in my device manager. Where did my speakers go?

Re: Device Manager Doesn't Show Speakers

In Device Manager have you tried View,and select 'Show hidden devices' to see if they show up?

Re: Device Manager Doesn't Show Speakers

Yes. I've tried all the obvious things. Drivers, hidden items, you name it, I did it. I'm getting ready to restore my laptop, but I have heard that it may not even solve the problem. And I know it isnt a hardware issue, at least it shouldn't be.
