From one second to another the audio of my laptop wasn't working anymore. Maybe I accidentally pressed some weird keyboard combination when i cleaned it up from the red wine i spilled over it? :confused: My audio is gone. I m dying without music. :( How can I change this again? Do I need to reinstall some driver? And where to get the correct driver?
