Hey guys! Sorry i'm back so soon with a new audio problem but this one is puzzling me. So a few days ago I had my Siberia V2's in and i noticed the Mic did not work on skype, okay no big deal just uninstall drivers, reboot, and bam fixed right? Well it didnt go that way.

As soon as I get back I realize that reinstalling the drivers had no effect, and this time it broke the audio, well that's not good so i uninstall all audio drivers possible from device manager and reboot and reinstall. Well now that just completely screws the audio because of my genius brain. I go to the Manufacturer page for my specific laptop to get the audio drivers back, install them, reboot, still no change. The main problems that seem to occur are this:

1: Onboard sound is completely gone now and is not recognized

2: My Sound Device Manager says all devices are disabled or disconnected while in the manager they are clearly on the list and are set to default but the funny part is I cannot change any of the properties, it wont allow me to change what is set to default, what is disabled, and what is enabled.

3:I have assumed that this is a software problem and not a hardware, as sound was working perfectly fine before I messed it up.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you. :)
