laptop problem

[woodyg]

Again,I am not sure where to post this.
I have a Compaq Prisario 5201. Of late when I reboot for any reason I lose audio function. I tried to rip a CD and a note came up that WMP couldn't because of problems with the audio device. If I do a system restore I can regain my audio function. Any ideas about the problem?

Have you tried updating or reinstalling the audio drivers? Here is a 2007 version: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...en&cc=us&dlc=fi&sw_lang=&product=3184257#N174

Yhanks for the response. I tried downloading the 2007 audio driver but when I rebooted the vol. icon went away again. At least now I can hear a CD so it helped some.
