Win 8.1 Pro Preview 32-bit installed in a Dell laptop which used to run Vista 32-bit.
It was a clean install.
Every works real good EXCEPT no sound.
I went and install Realtek HD Audio Codecs Driver 2.71.
It shows in Programs and Features as being installed.
Cannot find it under Device Manager nor in Control Panel.
In short : still no sound.
Help.
P.S. I also install Win 8.1 into VMware Player using a newer laptop running Win 7 Home Premium.
This install has sound but light years slower than the one installed in the old Dell laptop.
