Is what the details are for the Audio device yellowed out. The card reader isn't yellowed out. I do have sound and I have installed the sigmatel drivers
(Assuming it is not SparkMaker's answer, he has a valid answer assuming it is not mine. Which- since you have audio it is more likely to be his)

Try the files located by A. and H. on this link:

And I know you said you just installed Sigmatel drivers (H.), but just to be certain it could not hurt.
What we know - it is HD Audio and a Sigmatel device. Sigmatel points to it being Intel related. So, trying the Intel chipset may help.
That points to the INTEL HDMI AUDIO which is also video graphics related.(audio portion for HDMI)
I would have to say the chipset drivers are needed.

Ok here's what I have so far:
Card reader works fine
Still have yellow question mark by the HD audio
Do you have the MS UAA installed, then install the audio driver.

Yes, Installed the MS UAA then the HD audio driver...still says there are no drivers. Yellow ?
And also the chipset driver from intel has been installed.

yes. Everything works. I just have a yellow question mark for HD audio...but I have audio and it is working fine. Should I just live with it?
That is your choice, you may never notice anything wrong or not functional. And when you do it may give you another hint to what it is related to... HD Audio drivers can be tricky to find sometimes.
If you want to keep trying we can, it is going to be (Intel) Chipset / HD Audio. We will do all we can!

We'll just live with the yellow question mark. It seems to be working fine
