Easynote's got No Notes.
Here’s one for the worldly with Notebook types.
Packard-Bell Easynote R1004, owner brought it in complaining of lost sound, did the usual checks and sure enough nothing, obtained the latest drivers ex-P/B website for the Realtek ALC655 AC-97 audio controller, and just for good measure the latest chipset drivers and installed both, all’s well, but still no sound, in fact no sound device detected at all.
Drivers show up and the device shows up in the Device manager reportedly working just fine but does not show up in the sounds ect only as ‘No device detected’, my thoughts are that it’s fried but maybe I’m missing something along the way as you do after hours of working on the thing.
