    I have done clean install on my old R61 no problem and now I got a T500 and i pretty much just followed the same steps.

    now everything runs fine on windows ultimate 32bit but the audio ports in front of the laptop will not switch on after i plug in a headphone.

    i tried to install audio driver but failed every time.

    any insights?
