There are a lot of different sony vaio models. You need to find the model number. Sony provides some replacement adaptors and batteries. And Battery World in Australia probably has access to such. You may not be particularly happy about the prices but you likely would get something that would work. That's the problem with going after good batteries for old equipment. The cost may be half of what buying a new computer would be. There are other sources but confirming which are legit takes research time.

go to your device manager and check the sound drivers are there if not right click on the icon and tell it to update driver software. this might work.
