I just bought a new Toshiba laptop and immediately ran into the same problem. Don't know if it will help you, but Toshiba just posted a patch on their support site, along with the following information:

Check and see if your sound is "muted". For some reason, everytime I upgrade or fool with the registry, I reboot and the sound is muted. I cancel mute and everything is OK (until I screw with it again!)

Check out this site. Their imaging software is cheap and is highly recommended by guru fred Langa.
