> Symptoms:
> * no sound when playing any type of media (including audio CDs)
> * no sound when headphones or external speakers are plugged in
> * volume buttons (above keyboard) DO produce a sound - a pleasant "ding"
> * multiple simultaneous keypresses DO produce a sound - an annoying "beep"
> * the internal speaker "beep" also works fine

> 1. downloaded and installed the latest drivers from IBM website
> 2. removed all audio drivers and tried step 1 again
> 3. downloaded and installed the latest BIOS for the T23
> 4. downloaded and installed the latest embedded controller drivers
