I have been given a used Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop on which I have just completed a clean reinstall of XP as various problems with Windows existed. Unfortunately, the sound no longer works. I ran Belarc Advisor before reinstalling XP which under "Multimedia" referred to EDIROL UA-20 MME and SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio.
I have looked at the EDIROL driver download and it seems to apply to an external device not something on board the laptop. I downloaded a SoundMAX driver but this would not install as it could not find a sound card.
I am a bit at a loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions?

Support Information:

Which Satellite Pro laptop model do you have? Laptops require specific drivers from the laptop maker. You cannot use generic drivers on a laptop as they will fail install.

It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A40 PSA45E.

I'm not sure how, but by selecting Intel as the manufacturer of the audio device in Hardware setup and using XP supplied drivers, I now have sound. It sounds a bit tinny so I am not convinced that the proper audio driver is installed.

Try this driver: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/pm200sndx.exe

Note: uninstall the current sound driver before installing this one.

I managed to find all the drivers I needed on the Toshiba Europe web site. The first time I looked there the A40 model type was not recognised, subsequent visit and there it was. All updated drivers downloaded and one happy laptop. Thanks for your advice.:)
