No Sound

Hello

This morning I did a system recovery on my computer as it would turn on but not load up to desktop. It works now except i have no sound. I tried reinstalling the audio drivers a few times but nothing worked.

I ran DxDiag and in the sound section and ran test DirectSound and got the following...
DirectSound test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectSoundCreate): HRESULT = 0x88780078 (No driver)

I'm starting to get to the point of throwing the thing out the window.... Can someone please help...

Thanks
Karen
