Another urgent question
Say you have a relatively well-functioning (except some of the keys on the keyboard are a bit resistant to suggestion) six year old Fujitsu Lifebook laptop which is sadly running Vista, and the sound has cut out on it suddenly while you were clumsily trying to type on it.. The "volume mixer," which isn't a mixer in a real sense at all but only a volume slider-muter for windows, firefox, and the speakers separately, tells you that these are set to a nice loud level. The "sound" tab in the control panel says the Realtek driver is functioning properly. Plugging in the speakers from my desktop changes nothing. I do mean nothing -- the laptop doesn't announce that you've plugged in new hardware (which it did do when I plugged in the tv monitor, which was plugged in when the sound cut out, but the sound didn't return when I unplugged it), and the speakers don't show on the hardware list.
What do I look at next? This computer is kind of baffling to find my way around, and Frank doesn't remember anything about it either. Googling gets me a similar complaint being voiced in a forum or two, but no solutions.
