SOURCE: IBM R52 laptop shift key deactivated - pls help
you might have accidently disabled 'stick keys' it is a short cut that is activated is you press shift 5 times
SOURCE: Sound problem
Go to control panel,and check device manager to see if you have any problems. If not, click on Hardware and Sound, then on Sound, and see if somehow your laptop speakers have been turned off. Reconfigure them anyway, and test the sound there. If that doesn't fix it, go to IBM and reinstall Realtec. Sometimes it gets corrupted, and sometimes it takes more than one installation to get it fixed. Let me know if you have any problems.

So wait, its asking for a BIOS/CMOS password? If so, one thing you can try to do is remove the CMOS battery. The battery is about the size of a nickel and can be found on the bottom of your laptop. You'll have to unscrew a few things to find it. Once you do, take extreme precaution when touching anything inside the computer. I would recommend getting an Anti-Static Wrist strap (sold at Best Buy). Once you locate the CMOS battery, take it out. Keep it out for about a minute and then put it back in and close everything back up. When you do this it usually resets the BIOS/CMOS password if there is one. Hope this helps!

There could be a problem with the battery. A fast check to determine whether you have a problem with the power
adapter, power cord or the laptop's battery is to turn off the laptop,
remove the battery, connect the power adapter, turn on the laptop &
see if it works.
If the laptop works directly from the power adapter
with the battery removed, then the power adapter is good. In this case
we can suspect that the battery is defective & needs to be replaced.
If this did not work, try also disassembling the laptop & make sure
that all main components are seated properly. Also make sure that all
ribbon cables interconnecting the various components of the laptop are
tightly connected.

Hi prafull_vyas, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
SO PC WORKS 100% PERFECTLY JUST SOUND BAD, WOW NOT TOLD THAT.
no OS TOLD AT ALL NOT ANY CLUES.ITS WHAT 2005 PC
AND RUNS VIRUS MAGNET FROM h3LL XP/
99.9% of all drivers seen on earth for XP are now infected. and a danger to you and others.
GEE DO $1 EAR BUDS FAIL
DO $15 REAL 3.5MM PHONE PLUG HEAD PHONES FAIL
IF ALL FAILS 2BOTH SOUND DRIVERS ARE MISSIGN.
IF ONLY INTERNAL SPEAKERS FAIL, AND DRIVERS good
many PCs have special drivers even for the the switch on the phone jack (3.5mm phone)
if the driver for that too is wrong the switch fails.
or even bad switch , 13 years old it is bad happens to switches that old they DIE.
the only good drivers for XP is at HP or lenovo
XP has no support at MS now that ended 2013
4 years ago from 2018'so that is more pain.
lenovo shows none
this might work scans clean top of list sound.
