      Sound does not work on windows ? Since I use that laptop for uni and my uni has some windows specific apps to be used ( more like ms office plugins) it kinda sucks !

        “Sound not working” is the simplified version… im not quite sure what the source of the problem was and i was originally pretty sure that it was just a hardware thing. Sound worked* on my toshiba but would randomly do horrible sounds, like a really loud buzz… it wasnt the common noise interference.

        The frecuency varied between 10s in a good day to 1s and of course, time between events wasnt constant. That made listening to music or watching videos a total pain in the ass.

        Looked for it on forums, it was something related to my laptop model in particular and eventually i just let it go and accepted my fate. Driver up to date, of course.

        The day i switched to debian the problem just vanished…
