Sound Vista After SP1

Thanks for the link. However, I have already been through the support
document and tried all the fixes there. Any other ideas? I sent an email
to tech support and am waiting on a reply. But, until then, any ideas would
be much appreciated!

Hello,
Don't know which tech support you're referring to. If you couldn't get much
from them, here is a link for MS Help & Support. Look under Update Vista,
click Free support fot Windows Vista SP1 issues. Good luck.

Oops...my bad...did forget to name the tech support. It was MS support (for
SP1). Of course it is the weekend and probably won't reply until sometime
next week.

Have you tried the latest driver from the manufacturer of your sound card or
MOBO vender instead of an update received using WinUpdate? Problems are
often reported with drivers received using WinUpdate being either out of
date or incompatible with the user's specific system configuration.

I have checked the Toshiba website for available downloads and the latest is
a BIOS update dated for last month, which I performed pre-SP1. Googling
Conexant High Definition Smart Audio HD2 (which is what the sound controller
is now called after the WU) provides only links to forums with questsions,
etc. Pre-WU the sound controller was Conexant High Definition Audio and
according to the driver update sites I had the most updated driver (pre-WU).
I had no sound issues then, nor would WU allow SP1 through with that
previous sound controller driver (even though it was not listed on the MS KB
article of drivers that were problematic).

So, I am still waiting to hear from MS support (through email) and see if
they can provide a solution.

Did you try the latest driver update for the sound chip from Toshiba? Or
did they not have any Vista sound drivers for your model?. The chip driver
is separate from the BIOS.
