I didn't see anything in the original post that sounded like I was talking to you either.
I guess not since I haden't posted anything before your original post. You gotta be smarter and quicker than that.

Listen PC eye I try my best not to read your post, theres so much nonsence between the (very few) things you get right its almost like having a slow aneurysm.
The fact is, theres nowhere in her posts that she actually did it so it was worth telling her again. Nothing I said had anything to do with you.

Love the pissing match boys, but I'm not that hot! LOL
Anyway, I uninstalled the driver and rebooted. It reinstalled itself upon reboot and now I have no sound at all, not even from the front headphone jack. BTW, the headphones didn't work in the back ports although they did before. I have always had them plugged in there.

Go to your Device Manager, see if theres any yellow or red exclamation points, right click on it and hit update driver. If not just reinstall the drivers.

There's a yellow exclamation point.
Just right click on it and hit update driver and see if can find it.

I thought the uninstall makes it go away completely. How do you get it completely uninstalled?
Often you have to go into the Programs+Features and look there for the software portion to see that removed unless you use a driver remover. The software for onboard is what effects the sound mixer part of things.
If you remove everything and maybe even download a fresh copy of the update you should all drivers go on along with the software part. That's in case the first download was incomplete. Or sometimes you simply have to retry a few times until Windows finally decides to install everything.

No that just uninstalls the device not the drivers. When windows reboots it just hunts the driver down and reinstalls the device. If right clicking on it and using update driver doesnt work, if you have the drivers go into your Add and Remove and uninstall the sound drivers, reboot and install the drivers fresh.

I had to reboot to install a botware proggie and my headphones cameback but not the speakers.
I'll let you know how the bot programs works, it's free

It says my software is up to date.
The self contained installer seen on the update should have been enough by itself. Take a look at any antivirus or firewall program you have there since those can interfere with updates at times.
If you are no longer seeing anything yellow marked you now have to look over the software portion for a mixer to see if anything is disabled. That would be things like mic, line in, auxillery, what u hear, etc. there.

The only yellow flag I see is in Other Devices>Unknown Device.
For that if the driver update saw drivers unpacked in a folder you would right click on that, choose the let me search my computer option to see what comes up on the next screen like Sigma Tel for the onboard. That will show if something is still missing for the onboard or any expansion device you added since buying the system new there.
If that turns out to be the Sigma Tel item you know that something still isn't going on fully when applying the update. The "botware proggie" you mentioned likely got in the way of seeing a full working install. oops!

Sigmatel HD...
Do you happen to have the Microsoft High Definition Audio driver installed? Check to make sure it's in there.. Something tells me you don't. I'll bet that's what the unknown device is. And in case you still haven't, reset your BIOS.. F2 to get into it, <CTRL> <ALT> <F> to reset it if there's no F6 or F9 option to do so.
To check, look under System Devices for "High Definition Audio Controller"
