Spilled water, speakers not working

[WalnutStevensh]

I spilled water on my laptop, and it quickly shut off. I did my best to dry it off, but it wouldn't turn on for a while. Finally, I got it to boot up, but the touchpad and audio were not working. The touchpad slowly came back, but wasn't as responsive as it should have been. I updated the drivers, and now the touchpad is working fine.

The audio still isn't working though. I updated the drivers, but that did not help. I tried right-clicking the speaker icon in the bottom right corner and running "troubleshoot sound problems," but I can't hear the test noises that are supposedly playing. The speakers aren't working, and the computer is not identifying headphones or speakers that I plug into it.

Is there anything that I can do?

If the audio circuit was somehow damaged by the water, and a motherboard replacement is not practical, you might use a USB audio adapter like this to regain headphone and external speaker operation.
