Vista - Sony Vaio Hot Key

Hi, i am testig both 64 & 32 versions of vista, whilst the 64bit is running
without any hardware problems, the 32bit refuses to install or activate the
keyboard hot key functions. Whist the general sound can be turned down in
other controls the main feature of utilizing TV out cannot be activated and
is becoming a little annoying.

Vista is running perfect and i need the TV out to work...any help or
suggestions would be much appreciated.

I installed 32bit on my Sony Vaio S260. I couldn't get the hotkey work. But
even worse, the sound does not work either. The funny thing is that all
drivers are properly installed and the sound indicator flashes meaning that
sound is working. Yet there is no sound from the speaker. Any idea?

I downloaded the original sound drives for my Viao from the Sony site,
installed them in Vista and sound now works. YMMV.

I tried that but no luck. Vista reports sound is there, and I could even see
the bars moving when playing music, but no sound comes through speaker. It's
really weird. Thanks anyway.

I have the same issue, and have noticed that when installing the hotkey
library and the actual handler program that runs on boot from windows XP, the
hotkeys still don't work and the application complains that the battery is
too low and to hibernate before losing power regardless of actual power
usage. I think that we'll just have to wait until Sony gets its act together
and writes a driver for Vista, if ever.

I had the same problem with my Viao, but found and downloaded the Windows
Vista Realtek HD audio beta drivers from the following website:

Sound now works great.

Cheers...
