I can't get sound playback to work. Sound can usually be activated through the FN key, just like the WiFi and Camera can. For some reason this doesn't work for sound and although the HiFi driver is installed no playback device is installed.

Has anyone a clue how I can get the system to detected and install a playback device?
You do know that if that machine develops a fault that it is now unsupported and any repairs are down to you.
