A High Definition (HD) audio device no longer plays audio files after a BIOS update on a Windows Vista-based computer
A High Definition (HD) audio device may not play audio files after you update the BIOS on a Windows Vista-based computer.
This problem occurs because the BIOS update changes the pin configuration of the HD audio device.
To resolve this problem, you must reinstall the drivers for the HD audio device, and then restart the computer.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
