We can help with ideas (more eyeballs) if you do this: Click Start, Run and in the box enter: msinfo32 Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here. There will be some personal information (like System Name and User Name), and whatever appears to be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted information. This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork. For audio information, expand the Components, click Sound Device, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here. I would figure out what you have right now though, before you just start making changes. When you post what you have now we can help look to see if it is right for your environment. When you know what current the driver is (and make a note of it), you can roll back the driver in Device Manager, reboot, see what the old version is and see if things work.
From: "Don Schmidt" Don on 6 Mar 2010 10:22 I have a Dell Inspiron 700m laptop that lost the sound which was caused by a broken wire from the motherboard through the hinge (cause of the break) into the top/monitor where the speakers are located. Took it to the shop where the Tech advised me that it was a common problem with the model and Dell does not offer a replacement part. The headset jack continues to work and that is now the means I now use to listen to sound on the laptop. Give a headset a try. -- Don Vancouver, USA "ColTom2" <noemailaddress(a)nomail.com> wrote in message news:epV3yWKvKHA.5980(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > > Hi: > > Just recently for no known reasons I have lost all sound capabilities on > my Toshiba 1135-S155 laptop.

From: ColTom2 on 6 Mar 2010 18:35 Hi: I have had SP3 installed along with all other Windows Updates with no problems. I uninstalled and reinstalled Audio Driver, but still no sound.

Hi: Just recently for no known reasons I have lost all sound capabilities on my Toshiba 1135-S155 laptop. Running Win XP Home Edition SP3 with Avance AC97 audio. It's not muted and I have all volume turned up. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks, ColTom2

Many thanks for the suggestion, I passed it on to a friend who also has an Inspiron 700m. I don't thinks I'll undertake the fix; lack of courage. :-) -- Don Vancouver, USA "Jose" <jose_ease(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:32e80d8d-d9de-4f58-96ae-01ef966e9379(a)15g2000yqi.googlegroups.com...
