It's late here, I think you will need to check the BIOS, I'll check it out, in the meantime check Device Manager / System Devices / do you have the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture listed as installed ?

3) Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller

Any ideas to rectify these? I imagine the Audio Controller driver is the cause of my sound woes; what about the other two?

Thanks again,

have a good night sleep, i was about to ask if you were AI ?

What I meant was going into the BIOS to see if the onboard audio is Enabled, this is how to disable the onboard sound, but you can use the directions to enable sound
Description:
How can I disable the onboard sound chip of my VAIO Desktop computer?
Solution:
1. Start your computer.
2. Press the F2 key repeatedly as soon as you see the Sony logo.
3. Using the arrow keys, select the Advanced menu and press ENTER.
4. Select I/O device configuration, press ENTER.
5. Select Onboard AC97 Audio Controller, press ENTER.
6. Press F10 to save the changes, your VAIO will now restart.

If any problems occur after making BIOS settings changes (poor performance, intermittent issues, etc.), reset
the desktop board to default values:
1. During boot, enter the BIOS setup by pressing F2.
2. Press F9 to set defaults.
3. Press F10 to Save and Exit.

you should have 2 sets of audio plugs, report shows a Sound Blaster audio card installed

Hi Barbara,
You are right, I do have two sets of audio plugs, I even have three sets. First, I have a set on my I/O plate, which consists of three holes (1 pink microphone, 1 blue input, 1 green output). Second, I have a set on an expansion slot, which consists of five holes (3 output holes in green, black and orange, 1 pink microphone hole, and 1 blue input hole). Third, I have a set on the front of my machine, which consists of just two holes a pink microphone and a green output.

Now, I think the expansion slot plugs and the two on the front are probably the same because on the back of my computer, just below the sound expansion slot I have two cords permanently coming out of my computer - a pink and a green, which have to be plugged in for the holes on the front of my machine to work.

Before I reformatted, I got sound by: plugging in my green speaker cord into the expansion slot & the pink cord from my computer into the expansion slot as well. (But I think the pink cord is unnecessary to get speaker sound, from what I am realizing now)

Finally, I no longer have a yellow exclamation point next to multimedia audio controller in my device manager. Does that mean I have the correct driver? and if so, now why does my sound not work?! (The only exclamation point I have now is that pesky ethernet controller.)

Hope you can sort this out for me, I really need to listen to Barack Obama's speech!
Thanks so much,
Jenn

[jwhidd]

I have sound!! It is wonderful. Apparently I installed conflicting drivers for both my expansion slot sound card and my motherboard sound card and uninstalling one made the other work beautifully!

Thanks for all your help, Barbara. I now know much more about my computer!
Jenn

[Changabang]

...sorry but still the same, bios was ok- however i disabled and unabled audio again (just in case) but nothing, hope you can help...

[Changabang]

..something more..it seems that realtek drivers are now well installed because there´s no yellow question mark in device manager!!!!!

check to see if Realtek is default audio
Check 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.
