Try to disable , restart then enable it. If that doesn't work, disable it from the bios the enable it back next reboot. If the your audio is and add-on soundcard then reinsert the card then reboot.

It should try to install the driver when re-enabled, if the drivers were ok, you're set. Otherwise reinstall the driver.
