No audio device is installed on HP dv6449us vista 32bit laptop

I just recently lost sound on my laptop, I believe after I performed an automatic update.  There is a red X on my sound icon and when I right click to open the volume mixer it states "No audio device is installed".  I have checked under control panel, device manager it states that the Conexant High Definition Audio is installed and working properly but I am unable to hear any sound from my onboard speakers or headset.  I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and downgrade the driver (Conexant CX20549) but nothing appears to be working.  I'm not sure if this is another side effect but I can't get my DVD player to register that there is a disc inserted.  I have ran a virus scan and antispyware software and everything came back clean.  Can anyone provide any assistance?  Thank you!
