So the other day  my PC contracted a virus, needless to say I was pissed.  The only thing it did was constrict me from viewing any websites outside of my homepage and of course the performance decrease.  But I eliminated the virus and now my system runs smooth other then one hitch: I have absolutely no audio.  Not in games, in WMP, nor any other application.  The first thing that came to my mind was maybe the virus deleted my audio drivers so I proceed to DL the appropriate drivers...That didn't do anything.  I seriously don't know what to do. :(  Any help?

This may sound silly, but did you check your cables and connections?

Also, does your devce manager show your sound as working properly?

Lol.  Yeah the cables are all fine, that's the first thing I checked...

But it says under my audio device manager, "No audio device".  And I can't change any of the options (volume, speaker set-up, etc.)  But it seems my drivers are fine....I don't get it...

Ok.  So I have my device manager open and it saying that all my drivers are working properly, but I cannot manipulate them.  Like reinstall or otherwise.  The only option I can choose is troublshoot...which doesn't do anything...-_-
