In my laptop sound devices are not working , if i go for trouble shoot its asking for audio driver to enable audio devicess

Hi there,
Dealing with no sound problem, first thing you can check is the Physical hardware/Speakers, Make sure speaker volume is ok or if its properly connected, if all is properly configure proceed to next step
2 .Make sure that the Volume control is not on Mute, look at the lower side of the screen you will see there a small speaker icon, Make Sure that it dont have (x)mark on it. if you dont have the icon:
Check Device Manager: Right Click My Computer>Manage>Device Manager

Look for Sound, Video and Game Controllers make sure none of the list got (x) or (!)

if it has (x) on it right click the driver and select enable
if it has (!) download the Audio driver HERE ..
Installing Audio Driver normally fix any software related sound issues.

hope this helps

Check the Device Manager to see if the audio driver is working and enabled.
Reinstall the audio driver.

If you have any problems with installing the driver, you should uninstall previous sound drivers and try again.

You should also take a look at BIOS settings to make sure sound is enabled.

Please look for conflicting devices under,
Control Panel > System > Device manager tab
and check "Other devices" which has a yellow question mark. If there's a conflict, try the trouble shoot mechanism.

Normal 0 Go to Control Panel and Click on Sounds, Click on Audio, then Click on the Microphone. Then Click on the drop down and select Camera Microphone.
Click OK and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud

Try Dell.com and download the drivers for your model ?

Uninstall the driver & again install it out.If still it doesn't work then check for the type of motherboard,& audio chipset.Down load the driver from internet & install it out.It must work,if driver problem persist.If at all hardware problem then you have to use the usb soundcard for audio to enable in laptop.It also works fine.

Connect and external mouse, then go to Toshiba website and download the touchpad driver for your laptop and reinstall them again.

Does your laptop have a "hot key" for speaker mute?
On mine it is FN+ESC.
