HD Audio driver

Hello
I have just installed win7 to my PC, and i have run Windows Update which installed every driver i needed, except the HD Audio driver. To be honest, it does install the HD Audio driver, but it doesnt work.
In the right corner of the desktop, there's a speaker with red X on it, and when I click to it it tries to troubleshoot the sound problem, but it always saying: High Definition Audio driver has a driver problem. Not fixed

if some1 knows the solution pls post it here :S ty

More than likely you'll need to install a Realtek HD Audio driver, but that's a guess on my part.

Do you know what the audio chipset is? If not, what make and model the motherboard is?

If you know what mobo you have then go to that website and download the correct audio driver.
