Audio Output not recognized under Vista SP2

Some months ago I bough a cheap Acer laptop (Aspire 4330) that came with Vista installed. It has been running better than expected for me, and I was very happy. Last night, as part of the regular update procedure, it downloaded and installed SP2. All seemed well, but today I noticed that the speaker seemed muted and I can not enable it. As soon as I mouse over the speaker icon in the task bar I get a message 'No Audio Output Device is installed'. I am guessing that under Vista SP2 the sound card in this laptop is not recognized?

During the day I have this laptop hooked up to my main stereo system via the headphone output, allowing me to listen to Internet radio (Pandora). This is one on my main applications for this laptop. So having no sound from it is a bit of an issue for me.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Many thanks

Frank

    Never mind - I managed to solve the problem. I found the audio driver for this laptop on the Acer web site, re-installed the driver, and all is well :rockon:
