Go to the device manager, right click on your sound card, uninstall it then reboot the computer. Windows will find the "new hardware" and install it for you. It should use the new drivers you installed earlier.
1. The article [Q308549] explains that the System Information tool (Msinfo32.exe) gather information about your computer, such as devices that are installed in your computer, or device drivers that are loaded in your computer, and provides a menu for displaying the associated system topics. It also provides access to tools you can use for troubleshooting your computer.
2. The article [Q307970] is a step-by-step article that describes how you can configure devices by using Device Manager.
3. Caveat: The article [Q813139] warns that updating the device driver for a EHCI USB 2.0 host controller by means of the "Update Driver" function in Device Manager, USB 1.1 devices that are attached to the controller may stop functioning, and provides a simple resolution should this be a factor.
4. DevCon is a Command Line utility which can be downloaded which acts as an alternative to Device Manager. It allows a user to enable, disable, restart, update, remove, and query individual devices or groups of devices and provides information relevant to the developer.
Note: Item(s) removed from Device Manager only removes the entry from the system registry -- files or drivers are not actually deleted. Even though, if device information is still recorded as installed in another Windows section and using resources such as a modem, it may reappear even though the device may not physically exist.
