Ok, that sounds comforting, I hope you're right. I'll try to translate from Dutch the steps I take; I hope it's clear.
In the configuration screen I go to Hardware and Sounds, then i click control Audio devices. I et a new screen labeled Sound. It has four tabs, of which the first, labeled Play (something like that),
shows two devices,
one labeled "speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)",
the other labeled "Realtek Digital output (Realtek High Definition Audio)".
The second device was hidden at first, by your very first advice (if I remember correctly) I found and enabled it. Before I installed the Realtek Audio Driver, the devices had generic names. I am not sure the driver is the correct one, I might need the Intel one.
If I make the second device the standard one, I get no sound, even from the CD. If I test this device (by right clicking it and clicking "test") I also get no sound. If I set the speakers (the first device) as the standard, I get sound from the CD (I'm listening to some Reger as I write). Also, if I test it, I get sounds.
