Windows 7 Audio help

[Jack!]

Today i reinstalled windows 7, needed a fresh start and a certain message was annoying me :P But, before i reinstalled everything was working fine. but now my audio will not. ive downloaded realtek drivers and everything. but nothing, and the troubleshooter isnt helping either. Any ideas?

Actually made sure it isn't your speakers? Tried them on something else etc?

Made sure you installed the correct drivers and actually restarted the machine afterwards?

Make sure everything is not "Muted" by you and that the volume levels are up both on the speaker and the PC.

everything works. i was using them before i reinstalled. and i just tested them on my laptop. no problems. yeah i restarted and everything. when i hover above the speaker i get 'No audio output devices installed' :L
