I am having great trouble find drivers for this laptop, TOSHIBA dynabook SS MX/395LS. This model is japanese only so i cannot access the drivers though the US website. I found the japanese site http://dynabook.com/pc/catalog/ss_c/060412mx/index_j.htm and http://dynabook.com/assistpc/download/. I cant read japanese and google translator did not work. besides that i have been search pcidatabase.com and havent gotten much help there.

I reinstalled windows using the OEM CoA on the laptop no problem. I was able to get the LAN, wifi and video drivers installed. Im most concerned with getting the audio driver rather than anything else.

I have tried some audio drivers. I know the driver for audio should be a ADI soundMax like, http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/112543. It fails install saying 'device not found'. Some one in a chat room said that drivers for laptops can only be installed from the laptop manufacture like Toshiba/Dell and you cant just grab it off of the hardware manufacture's website. He said he had to 'hack' an nvidia driver to get it to install on his laptop. So do i need to do the same with the audio driver?

I really need some help on this one. maybe i lack the google foo :(
