hi guys and girls, sorry if this seems the wrong place to post this but
i am fairly new to this.
i have just installed xp pro onto my laptop on which i did have xp home
edition. since the installation i have got no sound at all.
in control panel it does not recognise that speakers are attached even
though they are built in to the damn thing!!
i'm not sure what the correct name for the speakers is so cannot
perform a search or anything. it is a toshiba satelite pro.

please help!!?

Did you upgrade or do a complete re-installation? If the latter, you
probably need to add specific drivers. IIRC, Toshiba machines ship with
a recovery CD which restores them to factory state, so you may need to
dig a bit to get the drivers. Have to tried adding hardware manually
through Control Panel?
