    Hello! I have recently bought a SONY VAIO VGN-NR11M/S laptop. It came with Vista and because I am not really fan of them, I decided to setup Windows XP. I was able to find all the drivers except the Realtek High Definition one. I have tried to install a lot of versions of that driver - including the latest one - the installation seems that is running ok but unfortunately no driver is shown in my device manager and of course I cannot hear any sound. Any ideas for installing successfully this driver?
    Thanks in advance

    Grab the one off of Realtek's website.
    If that doesn't work you are probably in for a format/reload.

    Dear Friend Flashaki,

    I need your help urgently regarding the Sony Vaio VGN-NR11M/S, as I saw in your posts we did the same thing, downgrading to XP, my problem is that I can't find most of the drivers and or what to install, I managed till now to find the VGA from intel and worked great, please advice me what to do.

    thank you in advance,
    be well and safe,
    Jimmy
