Sound Problems Help! I have a Toshiba Satellite A15 Laptop. Yesterday the sound went out. I am trying to troubleshoot the problem. I removed the modem and rebooted, still no sound. I'm trying to download drivers, but cannot find any. Any suggestions

Do you have sound at all, or just not when you play a CD or video DVD?
Fist thing to check is if your audio drivers are installed and working properly.
If necessary, find and install the right sound driver for the computer.
There are some more things to try to fix sound in Windows, hope that helps.

follow the link and download the required driver from there

it only means that the drivers you installed does not match. try to check for other drivers, better look for it thru the manufacturers website..

Hope it helps

Hi

in sound properties do you have a section called line in?, if not click on file and advanced and put a tick in the box that says line in

This box should appear ensure that is not muted

This should sort it as the volume wheel only control the line in volume on the laptop

Please can i ask that you leave feedback and vote if this has been useful

UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE DRIVER

If you are on internet, download your laptop model's sound driver and install it on your system. You may also get main board CD and try installing sound driiver fropm it.

Hi, write to me to my mail giving me the part number or the model number of your machine and with taste you sending(parcel) the sound driver that you need. my e-mail is: [email protected]

It seems logical when we see the things that you have tried. I like to advice you to try use volume dial (physical), Use Ctrl+ESC to mute-unmute main sound channel. 3rd party registry editors are really dangerous for non advanced users. it might cause some severe issues. Since you claim issue happened after installation of the said software, you may use "System Restore" by choosing earlier date that sound worked fine. If issue persists, please post for more assistance. Also you may consider Full System Recovery by using Toshiba Discs.

Good Luck

I had a similar problem but it would also intermittently not recognize certain keystrokes like the shift key or a few letters. I pulled the keyboard off and blew it out with canned air, then reseated the micro ribbon cable to the motherboard and it hasn't failed since. Good luck

You need to install the driver for Sound device that compatible with XP. Since you have indicated the model Satellite A15-S127, I am attaching the link that you can download sound driver for XP.
