I just found out that for some reason I wasn't getting sound after installing Vista SP1. I am using the motherboard's built-in sound card (Realtek High Definition Audio). The odd thing is that all the drivers seemed to be work as there are no exclamation marks next to anything. Then I discoverd in the Mixer that it was set to a different audio device. I have a Linksys CIT300 VOIP phone which shows up as an audio device in Windows. So I went to the control panel, clicked on Sound, and set the default back to the Realtek sound chip and voila- all is well again.
Basically for some unknown reason Vista had switched the default sound device during the SP1 install- it's likely a bug that Microsoft needs to look into....

Hi,
I had the same no sound problem after the SP1 install. I've got an X-Fi Extreme Music s/c and every time I load windows I have to check the 'Enable Digital IO' box (Sound:Speakers:double click:custom tab) for sound to work. For some reason post SP1 whenever windows loads it leaves this unchecked. Took me ages to find this so hope the tip helps others.
I had the same issue. Just went to my motherboard's website (Asus in this case) and installed new drivers. Problem solved!
