Hi. I have a new Sony Vaio running Windows Vista Home Edition. Everything was working fine, but when I booted up today I can get no sound from anywhere. I've tried all the "easy" stuff, like making sure my volume ws turned up, etc. I'm really confused.
The sony VAIO Pcv-j200 only runs with Windows 2000, windows Me and windows xp. The current operating system Vista on your computer right now will work but some of the features of it may not. The link below shows all the drivers for your unit for diffent operating systems (not vista). What you can try to do is to download the audio driver for windows xp

Did you reformat the entire hard drive when you installed Vista? If you formatted the recovery partition you won't be able to go back without a Xp installation disc.
If it is running Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) it is not 64 bit it is 32bit. 64 bit only came in Windows XP PRO 64bit and Vista 64bit and Windows7 64bit
Vista Home premium drivers will work perfectly with Windows Vista Ultimate. When installing Vaio event service and Vaio Control center make sure that you run setup file as administrator. Right-click the setup file and select option "run as administrator". By reinstalling utilities this way they will work perfectly well
First thing to do is check if your soundcard driver is behaving.
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager
and check if the soundcard driver is flagged with a yellow exclamation. If this is the case, head off to the Sony site and try to download a new copy of your sound drivers to install.
If this doesn't work, post back here to see what to try next.
I am assuming you are going back to XP?
You will run into one major problem with this process, Vista is based of Windows NT which uses a NTFS file system. XP uses the old file system of FAT32, so just wiping the hard drive probably won't work. You will have to go into your partition and re-partition your hard drive before you intall the recovery disk.
If the recovery disk is designed for your computer then yes it will restore it to all factory defaults (including drivers and software that originally came with it.
If you are not sure how to do the partition then let me know I will try to guide you through it.
