Since updating my PCG-FXA48 to XP SP2 I have intermittent sound. I have all the latest updates from Sony and MS. Sony support seems to have wiped its hands and directs me to MS FAQ's about no sound.
I have taken a Belarc scan of my system and would ask if anyone could advise. I suspect it is a driver issue for my audio but have been unable to find any update - however, that may not be all. I throw this out to more knowledgable people.
