Obvious question that must still be asked: are the head phones plugged in?

Restart your computer.

If they wheren't he would still hear sound from the speakers.

If they wheren't he would still hear sound from the speakers.

Unless his is the type of computer that has only one speaker jack (fairly common) and his head phones were plugged into it. Or, it's the type with two and he has no speakers connected.

In either case you always start with the obvious when it comes to things like things, car won't start? does it have gas?

I was able to solve the problem by rolling back to the preinstalled factory state by using Vaio system recovery tool.

Try going here:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#AC

I found that the Realtek AC'97 Audio Codecs corrected every sound issue that I have had with Vista. Uninstall any existing sound drivers before downloading this software. The install is straight forward. What is the worst that can happen? You don't have any sound.

I believe I have a solution.

 

Scenario: I bought a new Sony Vaio on Sunday, and upgraded Vista to Vista Ultimate yesterday. Immediately the sound system fell silent. After following other suggestions I checked the updates I had installed following the upgrade to Ultimate. Windows and discovered that Update for Windows Vista (KB929685) says:

"Install this update to address an issue that may prevent high-definition audio devices from initializing after resuming the system from a sleep or hibernation state."

I had put the PC to sleep around that point.

Here is what I did next:

In Conrol Panel -> System -> Select the Device Manager and find the Sound entry. Expand it. Click the entry for High Definiton Audio Device with the right mouse button. Uninstall it and the software too (check the box).

Now put the PC to sleep. When it restarts it will reinstall the Audio device. Meantime the update above (KB929685) seemed to have kicked in and PRESTO - sound again!

Worked for me. Good luck.

In Device Manager, open the Properties of your sound device, and note what
error messages are displayed. The Properties section typically provides some
guidance as to what corrective action to take. Follow any advice provided.

In addition, if all else fails, you can remove the sound card in Device
Manager, thus allowing Windows to reinstall it when you reboot. This step
often fixes problems such as you have. Post back if none of these
suggestions does anything. We'll try to devise another approach.
