Toshiba P25-S26 Hello. Thank you for your time an expertise.I have a Toshiba P25-S26. The sound just went out. I have been told that I may need to download a sound card. Could you help me? [email protected]

When the sound suddenly goes out, it's usually a driver glitch. Drivers are the programs that allow certain devices to work, ie... sound card. The sound card is built into the machine, so the driver is all you need for it to work, unless the sound card has malfunctioned, and that is rare. Since the drivers were already in the machine you do not need to download them again. You will simply need to uninstall the audio drivers from the device manager, then restart the machine. The machine will find the sound card and reinstall the audio drivers automatically. you can get to the device manager by right clicking on "my computer", click on properties, then the properties box will appear. Open the hardware tab at the top, then click on the device manager button, and the device manager will open giving you a list of all devices. You want to open and uninstall everything listed as audio. If you need any further assistance, just ask.
