    So I just installed windows 7 on my friend's z60m and the audio isn't working. I'm pretty sure the drivers are all ok but when I go to view the sound options, it looks like this

    where do I get the drivers from?
    I checked on the lenovo site and it said the drivers should get installed automatically by windows I think

    Check Windows Update to see if they have it (it is located in start menu)

    already checked windows update, no audio driver updates
    I think the problem is that the speakers are "Not plugged in"

    strange thing, the sound was working for a little bit last night and the speakers were said to be "plugged in" and this morning they arent working anymore
    maybe its a harware issue?

    ok so i just tested the sound with an ubuntu live cd and it worked so i guess it's not a hardware issue
    i just need to figure out how to "plug" the speakers in
