Second Part : 

IF : After you restart, THE SOUND IS GONE, 

We need to do a little extra task. Hopefully it solves your problem :). There's 2 Way,

1) We create a audiopatch.bat file on the desktop and need to run it everytime we turn on the laptop to turn

    on the sound.

2) Advance method. This is a continuation to Step 1-If you tired of running the audiopatch.bat everytime you turn on your laptop.

For the First Method :

Requirement : 

Download DEVCON UTILITIES

Procedure :

1) Open "Notepad" and paste the following line :

"DEVCON.EXE RESTART “PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_293E&SUBSYS_3607103C&REV_03"

2) Name the Notepad as "audiopatch.bat", and save it on the "Desktop"

3) Create a file name "patch" in your c:\  directory if the file doesn't exist.

    How? Open Drive C in My Computer, Right Click > New > Folder (Name the folder as "patch".

4) Copy the audiopatch.bat that you saved on your Desktop and paste it inside the "patch" folder that

    you've created.

5) The Hardware ID may differ. so you need to check it manually.

How to Check ? Follow Procedure below...

a) Open device manager by click start, select run(or simply Windows Button + R) and type: DVMGMT.MSC (its not case sensitive)

b) Right click at your Audio Drivers and select Properties.

    Right click on it and select Copy then paste it replacing the red color:

"DEVCON.EXE RESTART “PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_293E&SUBSYS_3607103C&REV_03"

6) After you have your Hardware ID and the audiopatch.bat file ready inside the folder C:\patch\,
7) Extract file devcon.exe, copy \i386\devcon.exe to the C:\patch\ (in the folder where you save the
    audiopatch.bat).
8) Right click on the audiopatch.bat > Send to > Desktop, whenever you start your computer, you need to
    double click on it(in other word run the audiopatch.bat file), the sound should work.

For The Second Method : Advance

1) Open "RUN" (Windows Button + R) or Click Start > Run and type "REGEDIT" (not case sensitive).

2) Find This String : 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

3) Now, Click on the Run Folder, and you will see like picture below. Right click > Choose String Value

    as shown in picture below.

   

4) Rename the string into "audiopatch".

5) Double click on the audiopatch that you just renamed and create in step 3 and 4.
