Ok, after reformating my friend's Hp Pavilion Slimline s7600e because it decided to go all gay with some error, now there is no sound. When I go to volume control this error appears "There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, Go to Control Panel and Other Hardware..... "

I tried several "fixes" I found by googling but nothing worked, I went to the Hp site(where he got the comp) and looked up for drivers and there is one under 'Original drivers' -> "Fall 2006 Original Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers"
I tried that but when installing it says that I need Microsoft's Universal Audio Architecture, but I don't know where to find that crap.

So then I did dxdiag command and it says the computer doesn't have any sound devices installed and suggest to go to the manufacturer and look for drivers.
I know for a fact that the computer has an integrated card, so in order to get a driver update I need to look for what mobo it has? right?
So how do I do that without having to open the **** thing.

well...HP can be a nightmare for you :D

are you Vista or XP...

start here...or alter for Vista
HP and Compaq Desktop PCs -  UAA (Universal Audio Architecture) 

follow the links for realtek:
Realtek

and/or:
Microsoft QFE Update (KB835221) to Support UAA Bus Driver 

make sure to obtain the file:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp26001-26500/sp26334.exe

but follow the links so you know what you are dl'ing and not just reading what I say :D

The above is xp based...if you're Vista you should be able to change accordingly...or I can make it easier for you:
Software & Driver downloads HP Pavilion Slimline s7600e CTO Desktop PC

if you install the latest nvidia chipset drivers that will make the above a moot point as it will be included. then you can install the audio drivers
