I have an Acer Aspire 7520 running w7 pro.But as above, i am unable to play /edit my music Library because of the above problem. I have constantly downloaded the drivers and it has no effect.I have checked in device manager and have the yellow mark against the audio but no amount of driver update fixes the problem.Every now and again i boot up the laptop and audio is available.More times than not the speaker symbol on the desktop has the red cross against it.I have reinstalled windows and have two hdds fitted but both show the same problem.Can anyone give me some advice as what the problem may be.Bios maybe?
