This is the link to your Viao drivers, http://www.vaio-link.com/downloads/s...G N-FE&m=2281

Preinstalled drivers, this is all the drivers for your model, it's 76MB in size, when you download all the individual drivers are in their named folder, and double clicking opens them, then double clicking the setup.exe installs the driver.

One thing to look for, if a folder for UAA is listed it must be installed before the audio driver

Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case

[Ang]

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've done this before as well and always installed the UAA first, but then when I want to run the setup for the audio driver, it tells me: Device Object not present, restart the system and run setup again Any ideas?

Iv'e not downloaded these drivers to look at, but this is what Sony advise with an Intel board

Intel chipset- INF drivers ( requires Restart)
Sony Shared Library
M$ UAA
Audio driver

have a look at the folders. if the Chipset or INF listed install same with the Sony shared Library

Check these out as well
Go to Control Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Audio tab / Sound Playback – click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be something “modem line 0 playback” has been substituted for the correct audio device.


Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply > click Start > Reboot.
