"No Audio Device" *Please Help*

[zVaNiLLan]

Hey guys, I have a problem and I would appreciate this SO much if you could help me.

I recently got a virus, and took off all traces of it on my computer. However, for some reason I can't hear any sound. There's no audio icon in the toolbar even when extended, and in the control panel it just says No Audio Device. I know this is probably because of a driver, but I tried installing a Realteak AC'97 Audio driver from

Is this correct? I have a custom Alienware computer ( don't even get me started on all the trouble it's caused me) and I'll copy and paste the information about my sound... don't really understand it though..
