Unable to get sound from Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop after installing XP (machine originally supplied with Vista). Soundcard according to specs is a Realtek ALC861. Have tried a few different drivers off the internet to no avail. Note also Device Manager shows SM Bus Controller under Other Devices with a yellow question mark
Fchlmail is absolutely right in his post where he has suggested to download the latest drivers from RealTek's website instead of Toshiba's support site (shame on Toshiba)

Hi,
This is refering to A System Bus Or Mainboard Driver.
Try downloading the Manufacturers mainboard Drivers.
i.e 4 in 1 Driver, which will setup your Motherboard Correctly.
Also check to see if it,s enabled in the systems Bios Setup.
Usually Esc-Del Or F2 At bootup.

Hi i was getting the same problems , the only way i could sort it out was by SHUTTING DOWN vista and starting XP....if u restart from vista it wont give you any sound in XP....
