After two hours, several failed attempts involving other solutions, and way too much stress, I finally got my sound working again with a relatively simple solution.

I don't know if this is going to be helpful to anyone, but I was having the same problem with Vista and my HP Pavillion 6000 series. This should tide you over until HP decides that they finally have time to release the correct drivers. It should load the drivers up and get your sound running.

Immediately after, go to the device manager and click on update driver. Go to the Toshiba support site, look for the XP drivers (Conexant Audio). I have the Toshiba P105-S6024 which is almost the same machine.
