Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available
I reformatted my computer and when i was done I get this message when trying to play audio:
Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding.
I have a built in audio card. I'm guessing I need to download a driver, but I can't find the right one.
Since I have no idea what is in this computer I downloaded Everest. This is what it says I have:

I don't know if any of that helped, but I hope so. The Intel website says something about they don't have a driver for public download so I don't know what to do. Thank you for any help you can give me.
