This is seriously getting on my nerves, I have never been so mad at
Microsoft.

I installed the "Critical" updates that Microsoft wants me to do, I reboot,
it "Configures updates" and then, all of a sudden, no more sound!!!

I get the error "Failed to play test tone" when I try to test my audio, and
I have installed the fix for it, but the fix did nothing, it just removed
the "sound icon" from my system tray.

Can someone (preferably Microsoft) please help me!!


Any one who has any suggestions on how to fix this, please post here

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit installed, audio driver is a Conexant
AC-Link audio driver version 6.14.10.0575

The driver works properly, Windows is stopping the audio from playing.

I have done system restore, but it wont let me restore before the updates
were installed, this restore point just doesn't show up!

This is peer to peer support. While there are a few Microsoft people that
help out from time to time, they do not do so in any official capacity. For
official support, you need to use the proper channels:
