Cannot fix audio no matter what.

I have a HP g7 notebook
Product #: C2M31UA#ABA

For some odd reason I've been having trouble with my audio, I did searches on how to fix it. I tried doing the following
Uinstall driver, restart, reinstall driver - still doesn't work
Clean boot - still not working
Restarting Windows Audio - still not working

I also read that clicking playback devices and selecting my default sound devices properties and going to the advanced tab and unclicking Allow applications to take exclusive control over this device which still hasn't worked.
Now I went into device manager and under sound, video, and game controller there are two devices which are:
-IDT High Definition Audio Codec-
-Intel(R) Display Audio-
I don't know if these two are colliding with one another or not. Now I did run RegInOut System Utilities a day or two ago and I clicked on Service Manager and optomized it, I don't know if this is the cause for my Audio problems. I also tried updating to Windows 8.1 which ran into a problem and did a system restore the other day as well. But my Audio will work like say I'm playing a video right after I restart my laptop and the audio will work but if I pause the video then come back to it there is no audio then the video will crash saying "An error occurred, please try again later" so I have no idea what is wrong with my laptop, I've never experienced this problem before. So if anyone has any helpful insight on what's going on with my laptop that would be great. Thank you.

*Update* So I went into device manager and I disabled -Intel(R) Display Audio- and I restarted my laptop, surprisingly enough that seems like this was causing the issue, I don't know if this driver is supposed to even be installed on my laptop because I couldn't find it on HPs driver downloads for my laptop. So everything is working now and hopefully that's the end to it.
