For my situation running Windowws 7 32bit I just looked at the Toshiba Tecra-A8 model site and low and behold they have an update for realtek audio drivers.  I installed it and I now have sound working!

Here's the site

The funny thing is my Tecra A9-PTS52E doesn't appear in the download section of this page, think Toshiba hasn't developed any Win7 drivers for this notebook yet...

Your 64-bit driver should be this one. Right?

   Realtek Sound Driver for Windows 7 - 64 Bit, 6.0.1.5904, 30/10/09

As I mentioned in an earlier post that after installing the latest audio driver that I found on the Toshiba website my audio was working.  The next day I had installed Skype and was fiddling around with it trying to get the microphone to work.  Since then I once again have no audio.  I have since reinstalled Win 7 twice but still have no audio even after using the new drivers.

Question for those who might know: I've noticed that in my XP setup(on same machine) that in the device manager under sound it shows a bunch of audio codecs in addition to the Realtek driver.  In my Win 7 setup the device manager only shows the Realtek.  Could the missing codecs be the reason why the audio doesn't work?

Thanks
