From Phils .pdf on it, the Audio is: Audio System 16 bit sound .WAV and MIDI audio compatibility. Chipsets: Analog Devices AD1848KP & Yamaha OPL3.
I will check around for a AD184x driver that runs under Win 3.1....

Hello I was just wondering if anyone knows what sound driver I can use with this laptop running 3.11.

I found a few Win 3.x/Win95 drivers for the AD1848 but no way to test them. Here is one:

The others came from other hard to find places , Will upload the batch somewhere so you can try them all....

added them here: https://archive.org/details/analog-devices-ad-1848.7z
Good luck !

Have you tried emulate SB using WSSXLAT.EXE tsr?

He mentioned trying WSS v2.0 but not that part, saw that it is in the wsset folder on disk1. I have never had to use WSS and actually glad.
Windows 3.1 is 6 disks and WSS v2.0 is 5, two are mostly wave files but still big compared the OS and a real sound card driver disk of the early 90's (ie: SB Pro, PAS16, etc) 😁

Awesome thanks Horun and MAZter! I'll have a look at these now!

I did manage to get some sound working yesterday using some generic Windows PC speaker driver which was something but having the proper drivers would be really nice.

I'll report back the results! 😁

Alright! I've tried some of the drivers now with varying success... the first one I tried didn't detect the card. The second driver installed fine, no complaining until I rebooted into DOS and then Windows... although that driver did make the speaker make a small... click sound for a second on starting Windows so it seems to like something...

I'll carry on see if I can get anywhere with the drivers. I at least have the generic driver working although it's quite limited in what it does.

Thank you so much again!

Hmm One thing very odd is that the Tosh archive lists the T2150 (a 486 model) but no other T model, not matter which late 1990's years I have searched...
added: My Toshiba Satellite 110cs (Pentium 100) is in the archives where the T4900 with Pentium 75 is not. Both were produced about same time and other than Audio many things were the same...
Some maybe Good news: I found two old Toshiba Driver CD's in my archive and both lists lots old Tosh's including the T4900CT under it's BIOS area so Maybe there are also Audio drivers.
Sorry had forgot about them until looking for stuff on my 110CS thinking maybe there was other stuff.
Note: they are mirrored at Minus Zero and http://vtda.org/docs/computing/Toshiba/

Have you run the Tosh Diags ? It is DOS based and you can test the Audio portion of the laptop.

I also have a T4900CT and this got me thinking whether there are any files out there that I don't have for it. Since mine came with Win95 and looks like it was formatted after purchase, no files to find there. I'm still using Win95 on this one and don't plan to reinstall it, but I like finding things.
While looking around, I found this cool T4900 intro video, welcoming T4900 owners to the Toshiba family: https://archive.org/details/t-4900 😁 (I also wonder if the uploader may have more files for the T4900, but that shouldn't be necessary)

Looking at the spec for the Toshiba T4900CT and T4850CT, they mention that they have Windows Sound System 2.1 pre-installed on the hard drive:
http://minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/Toshiba/O … -%20Summary.pdf
The only versions of the Windows Sound System software are 2.0 and 1.0, no 2.1 that I can find.

There are no drivers for it in this cool Toshiba misc files site: https://toshiba.retropc.se/ - but I will want to try out some of those later, playing with the mail LCD icon and things like that. Fan.exe looks handy for some of my collection.

While digging around, I found the OS2 sound drivers are semi-available for the T4900 - the super dodgy site called sound-drivers (bad site don't click, lists "os2snd.zip". Some Toshiba archive sites listed the "os2aud49.exe" but that file is not available anywhere: https://web.archive.org/web/20200707162908/ht … dio_drivers.htm

So the "os2snd.zip" file is somewhere on the Toshiba website, the live site: https://support.dynabook.com/support/viewCont … ontentId=106634
I don't think it will be there much longer since I can no longer find the T4900 support pages, so the .zip is attached for future use.
Inside the .zip file is something I didn't expect, it has a "Windows" directory and that has a .cmd installer along with .DRV & .386 files. It says it's for Win-OS/2 but... this might work? 😀
edit: not sure that the win_inst.cmd installer would do much good without OS/2, but it does list what settings to change so maybe it could manually install. Hopefully it's not something that works in conjunction with the OS/2 drivers for it to work.
