the matter is more serious than i thought-even with vlc player installed no sound.i cant even mute the speaker button on the sidebar-dont know whats wrong-the lappie wont read a headphone also whn connected- no audio at all even when using stored music files-

try un-installing and re-installing the audio drivers
