Vista no sound Solution

Countless hours of experimenting on drivers i successfully installed xp on my hp dv4 1228ca pavillion using slipstream. A few days later i been experiencing random shutdowns from my laptop which is inevitable because of the probability of incompatible hardwares Hp Dv4's are made vista ready. So i finally decided to go back to vista.

After i finished installing vista i was surprised to find out that there is no sound. So i went to hp website and downloaded the proper audio driver for my laptop. No luck, there was still no sound. Went to microsoft forums still no luck.

There was this techie guy i know on the internet and asked him if he knows how to solve this problem and he gave me a solution which was very simple and what do you know it worked like a charm.

This is what i did to solve this problem.
