multimedia audio controller problem with sony vaio pcg-tr2ap

When you install the chipset you need to RESTART the comp ,then install the audio. get the audio driver from Sony.

Have a look if this is the problem
Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Properties/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected.Typically the problem will be thay something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.

Hope this helps

I suspect that onoard sound has been disabled in the BIOS, Iv'e been trawling through Sonys helps section, but it's takeing time, I'll look at Phoenix BIOS setup and see what they show

Cheers

The chipset may need updating, get Everest and post the My Computer/Summary section, http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...-Edition.shtml

we can get the driver from Intel

Hope this helps

According to Everest the Realtek driver is not installed, go here to Realtek
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false

download the (Excution file) save to desktop, double click to install

The site is slow

Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case

Hope this helps

Also go here to Intel and update the chipset http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...4&submit=Go%21
