I am not aware of any change to my sys, except no sound at all. I've done
all the help troublshooting suggestions, I have the same Yamaha device that
came with the viao and am using the same built-in speakers. HELP!!

First, check the obvious: is your sound "muted"? Check any little keyboard
buttons that might do this, as well as going to the volume control applet.
Sometimes it is the silly thing - not the complicated thing.

Second, if the above doesn't help - go to the Sony website & get the latest
driver for your sound card, and install it in device manager. Then test
again.
 
Thank you for your reply. I've checked the driver and the mute box. Would
the box be unchecked and some keyboard thing still mute without checking the
box? Any other ideas?
 
Check whether the sound card is detected and installed properly in Device
Manager(Start>Control Panel>System> hardware>Device Manager).
 
I triple checked and it still says "Yamaha AC-X?" ? is only because I forgot
the last letter, it says it's enable, the driver can't find a better update.
Still no sound of any kind.
 
I did it. I run Registry Fix and my sound is now working, I don't know why,
but i'm happy. Thank you all for your help, that didn't let me give up
trying things.
