    Hi,

    I have a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ150P, but the sound doesn't work.
    The previous owner said he made by acident a shortcut, near the keyboard connector.

    The symptoms the driver does work, and when I look in the volume control I see a moving green bar, indicating the sound is produced, but it doesn't come out.

    I tried with external speakers but no luck there.
    It clearly is a hardware fault.
    I can't find anything on the board that has to do with sound, can someone tell me where to look, and what to look for.

    In advance thanks.

    With kind regards,

    Bart
