Hi,
It is starting to look like this may be a hardware issue, but as a further test, try the following.
1. Create a bootable Ubuntu CD - a guide on creating an Ubuntu CD and the download can be found Here.
2. When created, follow the guide on the link below to Try Ubuntu.
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/try-ubuntu-before-you-install
The 'Try Ubuntu' option runs the OS from the CD without the need to install on your HDD. This will be slow running from a CD, but see if you have audio through the speakers.
Let me know.
Regards,
DP-K

And this is for you..

Hi David,
Would this fix work on an Elitebook 6930P with Windows 7 and SP1? I have upgraded the sound driver which is a Soundmax driver (downloaded from the HP website). I have tried all fixes except changing the driver, with no success. I have no sound from the internal speakers however I plug in headphones the sound is fine.
Thanks in advance.
