    I had to reinstall Vista on my eMachines w4620 laptop and now I cannot get the sound card to work. I am finding that this is a common issue, however I have yet to find a solution that works. I have included my Everest report hoping someone can help me. Thanks!

    Hi


    The likely fix is that in re-installing the OS you need the Chipset driver to be installed first then the Audio and then any others that are highlighted in Device Manager as yellow ! marks.

    The drivers for your model eMachines are here http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Notebooks&subcat=W Series&model=W4620 install Chipset first then reboot and install the audio.

    check bios, maybe it has an opt for on motherboard sound or pci soundcard.
    If one is of, while putting Vista on it, possible it did not install.

    Also check device manager, try update through MS.
    Goodluck
