Hello.
The sound on my Toshiba Equium laptop has gone. It went when I was connecting a projector to it. No sound at all.
My sound card is a Realtek High Definition audio (with SRS).
The laptop seems to be pretty damn sure that there is no problem with the driver or sound card.
The laptop is not set to mute in any capacity. I have checked the mixer for the levels. When I play music etc, the bar things will go up or down, stubbornly convinced that it is playing sound. It is not.
I have tried uninstalling, then reinstalling the sound driver, to no avail. Iv also checked the playback and the laptop is still convinced that everything is ok. When I check for updates for the driver. Laptop says I have the best damn driver going on.
I have also restored the laptop to a time when I could enjoy as much sound as I liked.
The laptop however, holds on to its new irritating, quiet personality trait.
Phoning the toshiba helpline, the man on the other end says that my sound card has 'packed up.' Do sound cards just 'pack up.' If so, is there any way of un-bloody-packing them?
People with similar problems on forums have been advised to check their BIOS and Chipsets. I dont know what these word mean or how to access them.
I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could advise me as Id rather not send the laptop away for an expensive pampering. It doesnt deserve it.
I understand you may need to know what my 'SPECS' are. I also dont know how to acquire this information, so I will need your guidance every step of the way.
Thanks a million in advance.
