    the sound work only on my external speaker, but not on the external microphone - micro NOT WORKING AT ALL EITHER

    after l installed windows 7 - l got a message on the task bar saying that PCI memory card was not installed l went to toshiba and downloaded the utilityes driver again so PCI memory is installed and nothing wrong shows on device manger this pounds ok
    , before to instal it on device manager was a notice that some 'basics card were missing'' now there is no yellow triangle there so l gues is ok
    however does not show realtek installed on device manger no sign of it there- so l cannot update it or even unistal as nothing shows there

    Right click on the speaker icon next to your clock, go to "Playback devices". There you right click on a blank spot in the middle of this window and check the 2 settings that come up. Now you should see all playback devices on your system. There you can make the settings by right clicking > Properties on the device in question.

    Hi and welcome

    What ever vista driver you used can be used in win 7. it just needs to be installed in "compatibility mode" To do that right click the installer>properties>compatibility check vista.

    Let us know if you need help

    Specs for the laptop,

    Toshiba Canada - mobile computing - past products - satellite discontinued - U300

    says it has the Realtek ALC268. You can get the latest Windows 7 driver for it from here,

    Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

    P.S. Unless you really like spam, you should remove your email address.

    however you suggestion does not work
    when right click on sound icon near the clock l see the tabs playback, recording,sound , but on the midow of the window is writte ' no audio device is installed' dow the window property is in shadow that takes no action upon a click, but doing this when the external sound is pluged on l see those setting , for playbback not for recording , so means speaker no working onand ce it ispluged off , no sounds again, this is a laptop l cant have external sound as l do not take them with on daily work
    it is really frustrantin buy something expensive as windows 7 for all this,,, well this is microsoft isnt it????

    No it isn't Microsoft's responsibility to make sure the hardware works with the OS, it is the hardware manufacturer's responsibility.

    Anyway have you ever seen this page,

    Windows7. Your PC, simplified.

    Might be a good idea to go through the list there and what is in Device Manager, and update any that aren't current.
