    Did you try this new driver from sony support? I'm not sure it will help, but it sounds promising:

    "02/19/2007 - Power Management - Sony® VAIO® Power Management Utility Update - Resolves an issue where the CPU cooling fan settings may not operate as expected"

    Installing the audio drivers gave me sound.
