no sound after reset to fabricsettings

[anniem52]

After a reset to fabricsettings I have no sound anymore from the integrated soudcard, before all worked perfect.

I get a message that stwrt64.inf and atihdwt6.inf have to be reinstalled.

In the device managment I get the message that the driver of 'IDT High Definition Audio CODEC' has to be reinstalled, but I get an error-message that the device attached is broken. I tested with other headphones and speakers, all new ones, and got the same error-messages. With USB-connections all works perfect.

Can someone help me to find a solution?

When was the last time the computer was working fine?

Thanks for your answer. Indeed the solution was very simple, too simple.

I downloaded the original audio drivers from the HP-site and the problem was solved.
