1192779 2011-04-07 07:20:00 Hi all, I lost my sound on my laptop a few days ago and have tried everything to fix it but no such luck, it must be hardware problem.
I went to a computor shop this morning and explained what was going on, the shop assistant said i need usb speakers [ she wasn't to good with her english though or i might be hard to understand ] anyway i took these speakers home and 1 USB leed went into usb socket, but there was another leed that went into the front little hole on the laptop.
Turned it on and still nothing, is there anyway around this to get some sound again, really appreciate any help.

thanks

1192781 2011-04-07 07:34:00 Hi speedy, its the same one you had a look at the other day on that program that you could take over the controls, its a toshiba tecra A3 model. Tomy101 (12106)
1192782 2011-04-07 07:37:00 Oh right. You should have added this to the other post. Only thing I can think of its disabled in the BIOS. Or on the wrong option Speedy Gonzales (78)
1192783 2011-04-07 07:42:00 Sorry, i didn't think of that, this is driving me nuts.
I had a look in bios but can't see anything to do with sound in there, what option d o you mean mate ?

1192784 2011-04-07 07:43:00 Well must be in the bios somewhere under audio. I see you've posted in the toshiba forum about this. And they say it maybe a hardware prob. And did you try restoring the system like they said? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1192785 2011-04-07 07:48:00 I didn't get a recovery disc with this, as i brought it second hand. Tomy101 (12106)
1192786 2011-04-07 07:55:00 Send me another ID and password in a PM for teamviewer. I'll have another look Speedy Gonzales (78)
1192787 2011-04-07 07:59:00 Well, if the soundcard IS screwed as you thought USB speaker will not fix the problem. the "little hole at the front" as a 3.5mm Headphone jack. Its what the sound comes from if you plug your headphones in and that sound comes from the soundcard too.

What would fix the problem is a USB soundcard. Its possible that the soundcard might be fixable. Get speedy to check with teamviewer (the remote control thing) if you (and speedy) want to

also Just double check you have not plugged the USB speaker into the microphone slot, try the one next to it.
