Vista - Realtek Drivers

I have a Realtek AC97 soundcard. I have the official XP drivers from Sony
which install when ran under XP SP2 compatibility mode. Once installed, the
sound works with no issue at all, however when I restart I have to reinstall
the driver again to get sound to work again.

Sound has worked consistently on previous installations of 5384 and 5472
(current version: 5472). I have reformatted and reinstalled 5472 yet this
issue still persists.

I've got a problem with Realtek's ACL660 on my notebook, sent an e-mail to
the support team

Check realtek's website if there's a vista beta driver for AC97, you never
know.

Cheers,

Marcos
