    I cannot hear any audio or use the microphone on my VGN-AR520E, either thru speakers or headphones. All audio hardware indicators show that everything is working well. For now, I must resort to using a USB audio stick to hear anything.

    The Sony driver page shows 3 audio drivers for my Vista-32 laptop:
    RealTek REDAUD-12894500-US.EXE
    SigmaTel STDAUD-13157200-US.EXE
    SigmaTel STDAUD-01487701-US.EXE update

    Am I supposed to install all 3 drivers? If so, in what order? Any assistance on this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
