Sigmatel HD Audio Codec

Hi, I came across this really annoying problem. Recently I reformated my C, installed XP SP3 Home Edition, installed most of the drivers and everything seems okay with them so far, but the problem is that there's no sound. I had the same problem with this machine long time ago when I just installed the OS last time, then it was the same, but I somehow fixed it, don't remember how tho.

Here's a screenshot of Device Manager:

Here's a screenshot of Everest to see my specs:

Please, I've been trying to fix this problem but with no luck. HELP!

Edit: Also tried installing lots of Sigmatel HD Audio Codecs, but there's still the yellow bar and no sound.

You need to install the correct audio drivers.

You can get them from the PC manufacturer (ie: Dell, HP, etc.) for commercial PC's. Or from the motherboard manufacturer for aftermarket PC's. Or the sound card manufacturer if you have an addon sound card.
