Good Morning,
I have searched through forums and there are similar probems so I have attempted the solutions presented there and I still have no sound. I will go to bullet points as I have now been up for 22 hours with this.
sony vaio vgn-bx196sp running xp pro service pack 3
model number pcg-9w2m
1. installed bt dialler 2 days ago it called itself btdialler hdaudio, could this be part of the problem or red herring?
2. when I switched laptop back on no sound. sound and audio shows no audio device and greyed out boxes for default deviceon sound playback and midi music playback
3. on sound recording default device shows realtek hd audio input after much tinkering.
4. in device manager m/s kernel audio splitter, audio mixer and acoustic echo canceller show yellow !
5. have uninstalled the above numerous (oh god so so many) times and they reappear
6. have attempted to update reatek hd audio from device manager page, both 2005 and 2007 versios and computer froze an had to be rebooted each time.
7. went to bios via f2 and could not find peripherals or integrated etc. only speaker volume, turned it up from 4 to 6 .cant find onboard audio device enable/disable
8. still get chimes sound on vaio entry screen on boot then no sound after dos curser page
9. windows audio set to automatic and shows started
I apologise if I started this thread in the wrong forum I am a little new here, though after 22 hours I feel I know some of you well. I do wonder if the bt dialer (now uninstalled) has somehow hiacked the soundcard and made it impossible to use it with other software. I have taken the next 2 days off work to sort this problem as I am bereft without sound thank you in advance for your time and care.
