Hello everyone,

I have an old Toshiba notebook here, that has always had WinXP Pro installed.
Lately, I have installed Win8 Enterprise on it, but now the sound doesn't work anymore. I have tried downloading the official drivers from the Toshiba support site, but they don't work.

Specs:
Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
Model number: PSAC1E-04X01GDU
Windows 8 Enterprise 32-bit

Doing a google search for Win 7 and Win 8 drivers, I didn't come up with an official Toshiba site. I got driver lists from non-Toshiba sites. This suggests it may not be supported by Toshiba for Win 7 or Win 8. If this is the case you are going to have to try the non-Toshiba sites until you get a driver that works.

One other thought, if you find a motherboard chipset driver, install that first and then the sound driver.
