After you install SP2 for Windows Vista and for Windows Server 2008, a sound device or hardware device may no longer work. If this problem occurs, install an updated driver for the device.
- To troubleshoot sound problems after you install Windows Vista service packs, follow the steps in the following Knowledge Base article: 948481 (How to troubleshoot sound problems that you experience after you install a Windows Vista Service Pack ) How to troubleshoot sound problems that you experience after you install a Windows Vista Service Pack
- To troubleshoot hardware issues after you install Windows Vista service packs, follow the steps in the following Knowledge Base article: 948187 (A device driver is not installed or a hardware device does not function correctly after you install a Windows Vista Service Pack ) A device driver is not installed or a hardware device does not function correctly after you install a Windows Vista Service Pack

Hope this helps you...

I would update the sound driver. That will most likely do it.
