Re: lost audio

I doubt that it is a coincidence. Did you reinstall the drivers or delete
them in Device Manager and reboot? That would cause Windows to try to
install the drivers again.

Re: lost audio

Type "device manager" in the Start/Search box and hit Enter. When prompted
for permissions, click Continue or enter the admin password, whichever you
are prompted for. Down near the bottom of the DM screen you will see
"Sound, video and game controllers." Click the "+" to expand the listing.
Right click on the driver and select "uninstall." Check the box "Delete the
driver...." and click OK. Exit the DM and reboot. On restart Vista will
ask if you want it to search for a driver. Let it. Report back your
result.

Re: lost audio

I worked. I re-installed the driver, I got my sound back. I have not
installed my camera yet, but it iwas probably the reason I lost my audio. I
see Fiona had the same problem..........
Thanks for the advice Colin, its a relief to have audio back.
