--------------------------------------------------------
My Tecra S1 had started to play windows sounds slowly yesterday (13/03/04)
Software I presumed. After reloading the drivers and messing with the codecs
I gave up,
trashed the HDD, rebuilt the software and.......same fault! :-(

Then I discovered that this only happens on a warm boot.
I shut down windows so the laptop powers down and did a Cold boot and my
windows sounds are now ok.

Its a bit annoying that I have to cold boot everytime but at least its fixed
my problem for now. Im Not sure if this will work for everyone though.

My Laptop has worked fine for nearly a year now so this is possibly a
systemboard problem.
Hopefully this can be fixed with a firmware update, maybe toshiba will find
a fix and release one soon.

Cheers
Dave

this happens to me Tosh S1/Win XP, but it doesn't matter if
cold boot or warm boot and seems to be random.
I'm running dual boot Linux 2.6 and it is not obeserved in
Linux mode no matter how I boot.
So I can only conclude that the Windows soundcard drivers
are somehow at fault.
