    Did you put your service tag in to filter it?

    That's what the search field wrote to do.

    By the way, I found your other thread on the Lenovo forum while googling. Do you remember what sound card you had? Because it's either SoundMax or Conexant for all the R61/R61i according to Lenovo.

    If it's Conexant, then this one will work, it does say machine type 8934:

    If it's SoundMax, then it's this one:

    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-67816.html

    The Lenovo models listed are not always 100% accurate. For example, the ThinkPads SATA driver on the site will also work with the IdeaPad Y series, but they didn't put the Y series in the description. However, the fact is that the Y series also uses the exact same Intel SATA controller. As long as you know which sound card you have, then you shouldn't have anything problem, cause if it's the wrong driver, Windows will tell you that it's not the right driver.

    If you don't remember what sound card you have, you can go into Device Manager, you should see a device with a yellow (!), double-click on it, then select the Details tab, then on the scroll down menu, select Hardware Ids. Then post the info here and I can look up what sound card it is for you.
