| 5 epumer, on Feb 18, 2009 1:14:44 pm GMTI had the same problem as you. after a lot of researching i could find out that windows vista service pack 1 is making a serious conflict with the sound card.
you need to update the bios. after this, the problem is solved.
i got all this information from a live chat with the vaio's technical support team. they gave me the link from wich i could download an .exe file to update the bios with just one click.
i did all of this stuff like a month ago or so, and until now i had no more problems with my laptop.
if you need more information about this solution, just ask. i will be happy to help you. | 6 anask, on Feb 18, 2009 3:45:07 pm GMTNice one mate, I updated the BIOS firmware and now I'm problem free.
Thanks alot for the help. Somehow I had a feeling Windows Vista was somehow at fault here. Isn't it always :D

| 8 lazzybones, on Feb 22, 2009 4:41:52 pm GMTSorry to sound totally ignorant but what are Bios? | 9 epumer, on Feb 23, 2009 10:52:20 am GMTThe bios is boot firmware designed to be the first code run by a pc when powered on. the initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the video display card, hard disk, and floppy disk and other hardware
if you are not familiar with this, i recommend asking help to someone with experience.. |

| 14 raja, on Apr 7, 2009 2:20:49 am BSTCould you provide me the link for the ......exe file required for bios update or i also have to go to sony support ....will this updating affect my stored data in any way?? | 15 echo, on Apr 7, 2009 4:58:49 pm BSTHi,
The link I used is the second one epumer kindly gave me 2 posts above. Of course, if your computer is not the same model as mine (VGN-CR11S/L) you'd have to do as he says and use the first link then select your computer model. The instructions on the website will tell you what to do next. I had no data loss or any other problem, but I am not expert in those matters. Good luck ! I hope this helps. |
| 16 epumer, on Apr 11, 2009 2:39:09 am BSTHi raja! i just saw your message! were you able to solve your issue?
let us know! you just have to use the links i posted before, as echo told you. you will not lose any data. the exe file does everything for you.
im glad my solution was helpfull for all of you! im a 24 year old argentinian woman (just for you to know).
