Need an alternative was to get sound from a Toshiba

Hi,

I've got a Toshiba running in an important test and the sound card seems to have died.  I was running a pair of USB speakers, but the other day the sound stopped working.  I am trying to debug this remotely, so it's especially difficult.  Today I had them unplu the speakers from the Toshiba so I could test the internal speakers, but they were dead.

I reboot the machine remotely every single day.

Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be?

Is there a way to get a USB speaker which transmits the sound via the USB cable?  This would allow the sound to make it past the defective sound card, if that's the problem.

I need to fix the sound ASAP.  Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob

Turns out we bought a USB dongle with a sound card on it.  The idea came to us from your PCMCIA suggestion.

Nobos,  I'm sure there's lots of testing we could do.  But the machine is 1500 miles away.
