Could it be a driver issue? Also, I did all the automatic updates however it downloaded a few updates that I was required to manually install but didn't have the time to do so I left them, is that sometimes a problem? Where would these files have been downloaded to because I didn't take note of where they were. <BR />Thanx<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 May 2008 15:29:19 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-sound-and-playing-music/m-p/13271#M59615 Nat1986 2008-05-30T15:29:19Z Re: Problems with sound and playing music https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-sound-and-playing-music/m-p/13272#M59616 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Nat1986,<BR /><BR />did a system restore to a point before the you noticed the audio problem help?<BR /><BR /><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">Could it be a driver issue?<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />It could be a driver issue, have you tried reinstalling your audio drivers.?<BR /><BR /><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">Also, I did all the automatic updates however it downloaded a few updates that I was required to manually install but didn't have the time to do so I left them, is that sometimes a problem?<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />Not normally, unless the update states that it would solve a current problem with your Vaio..<BR /><BR /><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">Where would these files have been downloaded to because I didn't take note of where they were.<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />Normally the updates that require manual installation are downloaded to the C:\Update folder..<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 May 2008 16:47:18 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-sound-and-playing-music/m-p/13272#M59616 Thalamus. 2008-05-30T16:47:18Z Re: Problems with sound and playing music https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-sound-and-playing-music/m-p/13273#M59617 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,<BR />the problem sorted itself out...hasn't arisen in last 4 weeks at least...it was probably a driver issue that was resolved with an update or something, cheers for help anyway!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:57:01 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-sound-and-playing-music/m-p/13273#M59617 Nat1986 2008-07-02T21:57:01Z Re: Problems with sound and playing music https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-sound-and-playing-music/m-p/13274#M59618 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You're welcome Nat1986.. <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ie/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:45:08 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problems-with-sound-and-playing-music/m-p/13274#M59618 Thalamus. 2008-07-25T22:45:08Z
