Hello,

I have a Toshiba P25-S487 and my sound just stopped working. It appeared to be quieter and now no sound at all. Don't know why? Can you help me out with some ideas or direction as to why it is not working? Thank you in advance.

In reference to your problem: "Driver - Sound" from:
Toshiba Support - Content List

Go to the manufacturer's web page, download the proper driver - install it.

You must know what sound card you have. Look on your receipt/invoice for
The computer - ask the people you bought the system from, open it up and
Look, etc.

There are applications out there that can identify what hardware you have,
But I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I think they
Pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so I will
Recommend you try one..

Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for your
Hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say you
Have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a Creative
Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card...
