Hello, working on a system for a co-worker. Having issues after the system was restored back to manufacturer defaults. Essentially all is running back to normal except for the cursed sound problems.
Sony Vaio VGN-S260
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/mod...pl?mdl=VGNS260
audio driver - ADI® SoundMAX® Audio Device Driver will not install directly as it shows up as unsupported according to the installation prompt.
Currently a Soundmax driver (substitute that I found) is installed however no sound is available, via speakers nor through headphone output/sound out. Attempting to install a Realtek AC 97 fails due to hardware issues (blue screen) while installing the alcxwdm.sys file during driver installation.
Any ideas what may be the cause would be deeply appriated. Am new to this forum, please let me know if any further information is required.
Thank you members for any assistance.
