Sony Vaio VPCEE23FX No Sound!!!! still!!(resolved)

[GOTHBITES]

Hello

I have the fun of trying to get sound on this Sony Vaio laptop to work.  This thing is a Pain in the rear. also the touchpad is not working either and the great thing is that it hadn't work with 2011.6 ISO either.

Right now I would love to get the sound working also i have just notice something also in the forum every time i tried to click on the link on another post it to gives me an error.  something I just discovered apparently they do not want you to upgrade your windows.

I am going to give up on getting any computers after 2010

Sony seems to not like naming their parts correctly or is it just this machine? the site says its a Realtek

any help would appreciated.

those devices are misidentified as you already know...
you can confirm/search  here: http://www.pcidatabase.com/

Sony seems to not like naming their parts correctly

that's why is a real pain to reinstall winzows on vaio's if one hasn't the recovery cd's...
