By any chance do you have something plugged in to the headphone jack?
Anything plugged in to the headphone jack will trigger a speaker override, thus, no sound will come from the speakers.

You noted that you tried to reinstall your audio drivers, by any chance are they disabled for some odd reason?
you can check by going to:
"Start/Control panel/Hardware and sound/Device manager/sound, video and game controllers"
If anything has a yellow exclamation mark by it, or a red X, something is wrong.
try removing the driver, THEN reinstalling it if this is the case.

you might also check "Start/Control panel/Hardware and sound/manage audio devices" while you are at it.
your audio devices being disabled or muted in this area may not show up in the standard volume controls.
(This causes me all kinds of trouble when messing with my guitar)

their is a chance that a virus/spyware/malware could be doing this to you,
I advise doing a scan ASAP.
If you need an antivirus, AVAST is a good free antivirus.
Spybot search and destroy is great for spyware.

let me know if any of this helps, or you need further assistance.

Thanks, but it didn't really help. I have a Anti Virus, and it has been showing up as protected for awhile. I checked in the Sound drivers, and there was nothing wrong. I even went to a past restore point, which also didn't help. I'll try the Hardware and Sound method, though.
EDIT: I just tried the hardware and sound method. it says it cannot identify the problem, though the sound problem is still there.

quick question.
What is your antivirus?

My anti virus? It's Microsoft Security Essentials. It's worked fine for me so far.

sorry, it was just a passing curiosity, their are some that come with computers that i advise replacing in a heartbeat,
THIS is NOT one of those thankfully, though i have no experience with it.

what is going on with your audio seems a bit unusual.

Do you have headphones? if so, see if you can get sound from those.

I've been using headphones all along, and I tried the internal speakers, and they both don't work.

reinstalled the drivers.
even rolled back to a previous date...

this is quite the pickle here,
it sounds like a hardware issue in your APU.

what make and model is your laptop?

I guess I'll help with SSBB hacks and such, and some 3D modelling.
The problem I'm having with an SSBB hack is with someone else's hack - KTH's to be exact. He submitted a near perfect Melee Mario, it was just the eyes that threw it off with the spacing. But that's not my problem in the screenshots, hurt eyes from Melee show. When I use the hack, there's an 8x8 glitched block thing on the face with glitched skin color and black textures. Just look at KTH's vault on Kitty Corp: Meow Mix. I find his profile by going through the Mario stuff, finding something by StupidMarioFan1, clicking his name, scrolling down to find the Melee Mario, and finally clicking KTH's name.

you know your battery is unhooked?

anyway,
seems the problem isnt common with that model.
though its not unheard of with any computer.

im not sure what else could be wrong with the thing, besides a hardware issue.

you can format to check, but thats an extreme measure, and will result in all data being lost,
I try to avoid this.

you might have your local electronics guy have a look at it .
Im sorry i couldent be of more assistance.

yup. Thanks for trying, anyway, and sorry for wasting your time with my stupidness. But I'll keep those tips in mind in case it ever happens for real!

ah, these things happen.
the microphone, the line in, the headphone, and the audio out (audio outs in cases of a surround sound APU), all use the same jacks.
not all systems have all of these at once though. and its really easy to get them mixed up if you dont understand the color and icon keys, or are working in an awkward area.

Anyone know how to make Intel HD Graphics 3000 or a good driver (Windows 7 - yeah I downgraded since Windows 8 p!$$ed me up) run smooth in Black Ops 2? It randomly spike up and laggs horribly. (btw, it's not my CPU's nor my RAM's fault - Call of Duty Black Ops 2 only takes less than 40% in both of them.)

Any type of integrated graphics aren't meant for gaming, so don't expect supreme gameplay.
To make it play smoother, go to task manager, right click the process, and set the priority to high.
Maybe you also want to turn down the resolution. It costs you the drop, but there is a notably high increase in performance.
It would also be nice to know your CPU, as that tends to be more prominent when having integrated graphics.

I did what exactly I did, it still lags even at "realtime" priority. I even set the lowest graphics detail, lowest resolution and set CPU affinity to 1 out of 4.

You truly can't improve performance, then.
If your hardware isint powerful enough, the system won't be able to run it well.
I suggest a you get a mild-good video card; as getting one too advanced will bottleneck your CPU and motherboard BUS.

I'm guessing you have an i3, pentium, or core duo. Let me suggest a few;
-nvidia gt 520 / 530
-amd 5000 series
-any nvidia card ending with a "40" and below, honestly.

Yeah, it's all about my graphics on my laptop. I got Intel Core i5 2.50GHz 4 cores. Guess I'm gonna save enough money and get an Alienware gaming laptop or build a gaming desktop. -_-

I highly suggest the ladder.
It saves you money, and gets you better performance. Also, I don't recommend Alienware; mostly because of their outrageous prices and terrible customer service.
