Chipset first: https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pc/...ll_d040580.exe

Then sound: https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pc/...ll_d040820.exe

so i tried, i really tried and still no sound!! reinstalled windows then the chipset and a reboot then sound and a reboot and nothing. if you have any more ideas please tell me what im doing wrong. i know the sound used to work because buddy got it from his dad, just had some nasty spyware slowing it down. i just dont know anymore.

[pacifist_101]

i have now found there to be a faint almost inaudiable sound coming from my headphones and i can only assume from the internal speekers as well. i have tried to install Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio with no luck. any thoughs on this would be great. thanks.

[pacifist_101]

it turns out the thoughbooks use acip hotkeys and this one was muted. seeing as i was so foucsed on the sound i never installed the hotkeys.
i feel a pefect ass. im smarter then this. sorry for bothering you all.
