Sony vaio VGN-FW265D vista home pemium x64 no sound after reboot

[Cartel]

Hi I got this old laptop to run my security cameras with ispy.
Its been going 24/7 for 3 years now and I'm not sure what I did but the sound stops working if I reboot it and only works again if I eject the dvd sled.
there is no disk in it.
then it works till I reboot.

anyone ever run into that before?

its realtek 6.0.1.5653 version driver

thanks

In the BIOS, what drive is set to run first when you reboot- DVD drive? If so, you might try changing that to your hard drive.

I always kept my Vista system set to boot from the DVD drive first (in case I needed to use an antiviral or Macrium rescue disk), but I never had the OP’s issue. It sounds to me like the drive thinks a disk is present even if there is no disk, i.e. like the drive isn’t working properly. If the drive doesn’t work anyway, then you might try uninstalling its driver from Device Manager.

I wonder how Cartel made out.

Apparently vista can be updated with this:

I just live with it. I dont reboot much as I use the laptop for Ispy camera recording.
I suspect its a audiocpl start up item I may have disabled from start up with ccleaner

hmm, maybe OP should update the Realtek audio driver on that Sony laptop.
v6.0.1.5653 is too old.

Driver Scape has a few Realtek High Definition Audio drivers available for the VGN-FW265D - mainly a 6.0.1.7541 version that should work on Vista x64. uninstall the old driver first, reboot & install the new Realtek audio driver version and reboot again for the new version to take effect.
