ASUS G50V No Sound

[Beer_Brigade]

I have an old Asus G50V laptop. When it boots it plays the bios explosion sound from the internal speakers. However once I get into windows and the UI it doesn't play any sound from the speakers and when I plug in headphones it recognizes them but doesn't play any sound. I have installed drivers multiple times, tried different headphones USB and regular jack neither work. Did the regedit forcedisable to see if it was a stuck jack thing and that didn't work. I'm trying to sell this laptop and I don't think anyone will buy it without sound so any help would be appreciated.

Windows 7 Ultime 64-bit
Intel Core2Duo P8400 2.27GHz
GeForce 9800M GS
4GB Ram

Can you do me a favor and tell me exactly which sound drivers you have tried? Are you pulling them from Asus's website or the sound card manufacturer?

Can you go into your device manager and tell me the driver information on all of your audio devices please? The manufacturer, version, and date would be ideal.

I got the drivers directly from the Asus website and I attached a few screens showing the current Audio drivers that are installed on the computer.

That's the address where I got the asus drivers from. They only have the one option for the drivers.

Weirdest thing, when I had to wait for the password it forced me to watch an ad and there was sound for the ad. When I went to see if I could get windows sounds to play I got nothing. Now I get sound when I go to youtube but it appears I don't get any windows sounds.

Open your audio mixer on your taskbar (The little speaker button) and check to see if system sounds are muted, or if they are playing on a different audio channel. Also it looks like the realtek drivers aren't even being used, likely because they are dated from 2009 and Microsoft updated their default drivers in 2010.

Not sure what I did but the sound is now working for the laptop, tried it on multiple programs, firefox, games, dvd. etc but thanks for the help dapacioli.
I changed sound settings, reloaded drivers, changed bios settings, regedit sound settings is what I tried but I'm not sure which one fixed it.

Probably occurred when the drivers were reloaded, but I can't be sure either. Regardless, glad it's working now.
