A re-install of the factory Vista operating system did not help and in fact the sound hardware was not even showing up in the device manager. This lead me to believe it must be a hardware problem and not a driver issue. I came across this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UY_tXtr3LM0\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> video created by djjor3I and it was the answer\u00a0I was looking for. It appears that the power ribbon also handles the sound and overtime it wears out from pushing the power button. In the video the ribbon in question is the one on the left. A new ribbon can be found cheaply on ebay, just search for &#8220;12 pin dv6000&#8221; or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0047BML14\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tekfilescom&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B0047BML14\" target=\"blank\">here on Amazon.com<\/a> or if you don&#8217;t use the quick launch buttons (the ribbon on the right in the video), it is also a 12 pin ribbon and you can switch the two. Once the ribbon was replaced, the sound card was detected in device manager and once the drivers were installed, the sound worked great again!<\/p>\n<div class=\"thanks_button_div\" \n                  style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><div id=\"thanksButtonDiv_13_1\" style=\"background-image:url(http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/thanks_compact_blue1.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; float: left; display: inline;\"\n                onmouseover=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_13_1', true);\" \n                onmouseout=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_13_1', false);\"\n                onclick=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_13_1', false);\" >\n                <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"thankYouButtonClick(13, 'You left &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; already for this post')\" value=\"Like 0\"\n                  class=\"thanks_button thanks_compact thanks_blue1\"\n                  style=\"  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;; color:#ffffff;\"\n                  id=\"thanksButton_13_1\" title=\"Click to leave &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; for this post\"\/>\n             <\/div><div id=\"ajax_loader_13_1\" style=\"display:inline;visibility: hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ajax loader\" src=\"http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/ajax-loader.gif\" \/><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came across a HP DV6000 that was having an issue where the sound was not working.
