I have not had the same luck on the HP laptop. I did have the "no audio problem" initially with the Toshiba native untill i change some of the settings in the asio4all control panel. I did finally get the audio to play on the Toshiba's onboard speakers and head phone jack and could do the mixdown fine using just the Toshiba native when i select the asioall i/o. Both laptop's have a m-audio fast track ultra 8R installed on them and they both record and play back audio fine when the m-audio i/o is used. Most projects are recorded and mixed on a Toshiba P300 with pro tools 9. I have posted this problems several times before and got lots of views but no replies Is there anybody that can help with this post? I have put Pro Tools 10 onto a HP Pavilion dv7 with beats audio and installed asio4all v2.10 I get "no sound" from the laptop's on board speakers or head phone jack even though pro tools is playing the project ok.
