HP Laptop speakers do not work after Vista Upgrade?

Question

Hello all!
So I recently upgraded my operating system from Windows XP Media Center, to Windows Vista Home Premium. Everything went smoothy, except for the fact that my speakers no longer function, and in the bottom right hand corner by my clock there is a speaker with an X through it and when I hover over it, it says No Audio Output Device is Installed. I've tried almost everything I can think of... My laptop model is HP Pavillion dv5000 with Altec Lansing speakers, any help would be much appreciated!!!

Yes, thank you for the suggestions so far, I have tried all of the driver install packages from the hp website, however, none of them work. They either say cannot find media, or they just wont install... any ideas?
