Hi all,

I lost sound on my toshiba satelliet a45-s250 laptop after I did bunch of things to alleviate my High CPU usage issue. I dont remember exactly what I did. Some of the things I did are:
- Disable "Automatic updates" under services
- D/Led windows update fix for the above issue
- Removed bunch of software that came with the laptop (B'sLink, drag n drop, etc)
- I restored the system back to the earlier state.

Nothing has helped. My device manager shows a exclamation on the "Multimedia Audio Controller" under "Sounds Video & Game Controller".

As per suggestions in other thread the info I got from the Belarc are:

MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD:

Board: TOSHIBA Portable PC Version A0
Serial Number: $$C041C8NQ
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: TOSHIBA Version 1.30 12/18/2003

MULTIMEDIA:

Bluetooth Audio
Multimedia Audio Controller


Sounds & Audio Device window in Control Panel has everything grayed out and only displays "Bluetooth audio" (Volume tab). Under the hardware tab the Multimedia Audio controller has the following information.

Manufacturer: Unknown
Location: PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5
Device Status:The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

Please help me out, none of the reinstall driver or roll back works and I have tried out everything that I can think of apart from just formatting and reinstalling the OS.

Thanks
