Well, I downloaded the Windows Update service pack 2. After I restarted my
computer, the sound doesn't comes out. It says that the driver I have is not
compatible for this windows version. My sound driver is YAMAHA AC-XG WDM
Audio Device. I went to Yamaha homepage and they gave me an option to
download newer driver's version. But it says that if I download a wrong one
it could make my computer damage. So I don't know which one to download. Can
you tell me? Here are the downloads:
