This problem seems to be a bit more common than I thought. I too am having issues with my sound. I recently changed over from XP home to XP pro SP2 and after installing Pro I lost audio. I figured no problem, I'll go to device manager and update the drivers and everything will be fine like it was when I had to reinstall Home. Now here is my problem;
When I had windows search for the drivers it downloaded the Vinyl AC' 97 codec combo driver (WDM). Now my computer restarts immediately after windows loads. To avoid this I booted in safe mode and disabled the driver. If I uninstall the driver Windows will see the new hardware, and reinstall it, and I go back to having it restart on me.
Before it downloads the driver, device manager lists a yellow question mark labeled Multimedia Audio Controller, that has a yellow icon next two it with an exclamation in it. I've been looking around these forums, and some others online trying to find a solution, if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
