I've had this problem as well, and spent a lot of time trying to find a solution, as I'm sure anybody reading this has. I did a lot of thinking on how to fix this, and what I came up with is to disable (or remove) your soundcard BEFORE you install windows. Then update windows and install the drivers (if there is an .exe to install, if not put the drivers in a place you can remember). On the next reboot, enable (or reinsert) your soundcard and it seems to work fine after that. I also found that changing your computer type to "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC" in the device manager can help. Normally this is set to ACPI (uniprocessor), but I think there is a difference in the HAL between the two that can cause this problem.
I hope this helps anyone who has this problem....too bad it does require a reinstall of windows for it to work, but you will know next time to disable your soundcard before you have to install windows again.
