Whoa...first no sound after the first reinstall from the internal disk recovery boot (i have a system recovery cd..but it never uses it...maybe that's the problem. Then the internet connection disappeared on the 2nd reinstall, with NO SOUND STILL. 3rd reinstall, internet back, but no legacy drivers still and no sound..except the mistake beep. I check device manager and "legacy audio drivers" is empty.

This problem was addressed here..


but the solution was getting the driver from someones recovery cd.

any suggestions?
