I have an interesting situation wherein I updated the audio driver for an Asus X54C and now the audio will no longer work on Windows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled various drivers several times, including ticking the option to delete driver. The drivers always seem to be installed correctly, but the system always reports that the audio is disabled. I have, therefore, also pressed the audio disable / enable button on the keyboard (fn-F10
) in hopes that it was actually inadvertently disabled by the user, but also to no avail.
Also, note that if I plug in external speakers, there is no change in audio status.

And the Device Driver's looking good:
Any tricks you may be familiar with to repair extremely crotchety audio driver situations on Windows 7 before? I used to yank the driver enum long, long ago to help in such scenarios, but I'm hesitant to do anything like that now post XP.
