I think that I have had the same problem as everyone else I just upgraded from vista buiness to vist ultimate and my laptop that was fine now has no audio output.
Can anyone help

I think I have problems with the audio.

I upgraded my system to windows vista and my sound device does not work. I have tried everything and still no response.

Hi all, i read all your posts looking for an answer to the same problem, luckily i have found the answer elsewhere and it solves the v annoying issue within minutes, which is highly frustrating as like all of you i have spent hours trying to solve!

Simply! Go into device manager and select sound, then right click and select properties.
Then select the driver tab from the top and click on unistall (advanced) and follow through the instuctions.
Reboot your system and allow windows to find new hardware and install the driver. (make sure your connected to the net for windows to download driver)

Problem solved! Hope this helps

Matt,

Matt,

Hey I did everything from "Uninstalling" and "Rebooting" I downloaded a ass load of drivers that don't work for my system. Guess what it still says the same thing... I even reset my Bios! Still nothing! I'm about a few seconds from seeing how well this computer can bounce.

email me if you have any helpful ideas.

Hey, I had the same problem with the audio as it kept saying "no audio ouput device installed."

First uninstall the sound drive by going to device manager and click on sounds. Then click the device tab and click uninstall. Then restart your computer.

Then go to Sony eSupport - Electronics and click on software and ers. Then type in your model number and on the next page click "original". Then look for "SigmaTel® High Definition Audio CODEC" and download and run it. Then restart your computer and your audio will work fine.

went to: DriversPlanet.comSigmatel Inc (??) - Dell Sigmatel STAC92XX C-Major HD Audio Driver

downloaded R142219.EXE
from the 2 options use the high definition driver. do not use the one that says sigma..bla.bla....

my sounds is now working ..... good luck.

i have the same problem, It looks like im going to have to call sony, its surprizing no one knows how to fix it

Hey Matt,

I feel that If I continue to hear this stupid BEEP noice everytime in place of a sound, Im going to throw my laptop up against the wall.
