Looks ok, are you sure you have no problems in Device manager?
1. Click the Start button, then click Control Panel.
The Pick a Category window appears.
2. Click Performance and Maintenance.
3. Click the icon named System.
The System Properties window appears.
4. Click the Hardware tab.
5. Click the Device Manager button.
The Device Manager window appears.
6. Click the plus (+) symbol next to the category "Sound,video and game controllers"

Does all seem in order?
What's listed?

Check Windows Audio in the service control manager

Go to Go to START>>>RUN>>>type in services.msc
Hit OK
In the next window, look on the right hand side for this service
name---- Windows Audio

Double click on it--- START the service--If not running
In the drop down menu, change the startup type to Automatic
If not set that way
Apply and OK it then exit out of there, any help?

What do you mean you repaired it?
Was it set to Automatic?

I've been looking around the Net
Can you do the following for me
Open your Device manager
and expand (+) on System Devices

Do you see
"Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator"

In the list?

Can you also look for the presence of these files on your computer
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\swenum.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\streamci.dll

Do they both exist, take a close look

You mean
"Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator"
If you double click on it, is the device working properly?

System32 folder? you mean one should be in the drivers folder, right???

yes the "Plug And Play Software Device Enumerator" is working properly, and the files are in the System32 and drivers folder respectively where you said they should be.

I don't see any problems, if your sure that under SOUNDS in device manager all devices are working properly
Did you do any recent updates that may be related?

Can you try a system restore point back to a time before you had problems

What do you mean by it gives you the same message???
Did that give you problems before?

What is the EXACT make and model of your laptop

EDIT>>Just noticed you have IBM's  Rapid Restore Ultra
Can you use that to restore to a previous time?

have you tried downloading the latest Sound drivers from IBM Supportpage and reinstalling? couldnt see it mentioned in the previous threads so forgive my ageing eyesight if i missed it. Sometimes the simple things work if untried.

Does it work differently if you have headphones plugged in or something?
