Hi:

 

The base system device has nothing to do with why the sound isn't working.

 

You need this driver for the Base System Device...

 

This package contains the Ricoh Media Card Reader Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The Ricoh Media Card Reader driver provides support for the following media: Memory Stick, xD-Picture Card, MMC, SD, and SmartCard.

Your notebook uses the IDT audio driver, not the Realtek one and W8.1 should have installed the audio driver automatically.

 

The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the W7 audio driver from your notebook's support page and see if that work on W7.

 

This package contains the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver for the supported notebook/laptop models and operating systems.

W7 is the newest operating system supported in your notebook.
