You say you have re installed windows.
Was this from your recovery/reload disc ?
If it was then your drivers should be included and installed.
If it was from a standard copy of windows, you will need to visit the HP support page and download your audio drivers IF they are available for the version of windows you have installed.

Sometimes the drivers aren't automatically updated or loaded when you install new hard drives. What I suggest is you download the sound drivers again for you Toshiba Satellite A135-S2276 laptop. Click here for the link to download site. All you have to do is enter your Operating System ( e.g. Windows 7, Vista, XP ) and you will click on the sound driver and download it.
Hope this helps and thank you for choosing FixYa.com

Goto your device manager

-start; control panel; system; click the hardware tab; device manager

Expand sound,video, audio controllers

Click update drivers on whichever ones you downloaded recently.

Also in the control panel, goto sounds and audio devices.

Set your new soundcard to default in your hardware tab, and change your audio setup if needed.

Hi Sehajpg,

Did the sound used to work? Did you recently format the hard drive? any idea when the problem started?

there are many things that can go wrong but in the end this particular problem always is about the computer detecting the hardware (the sound card) and the installing of the drivers once the sound card is detected. You can find out a little bit of information by going to:

start menu>control panel>system(if you cant see "system" switch to classic view on the left)>hardware>device manager

I know its a lot of menus but once your there the device manager will tell everything about the innards of your pc. It will also tell you (with a big yellow question mark) what items its having a problem with.

Please go there and see if there is a question mark next to anything so we can get your sound working.

try to find the volume in your task bar, maybe was set to mute. if not see the volume. go to control panel double click the " audio and sound device" uncheck the mute "box" , same probelm occur.
do this,
Install the correct audio driver, maybe have error on it,
Find the CD/DVD utilities of your computer and the install the audio driver.,
if don,t have CD/DVD utilities tell me the Audio card model number or if the audio is builtin to motherboard tell me the motherboard for me to search the driver for you to download.
