How to re-enable audio device on startup (i5150)?

My daughter recently had to have Windows XP re-installed on her 5150 (long story).  Now on boot up her laptop has no sound.  I'm sure it's not a driver problem because all she has to do is go to Device Manager and manually enable the SigmaTel C-Major audio device; the sound is fine until the next reboot.
 
I assume the device is just not being enabled on startup, but I don't know how to enable it.  I've used F2 to access the BIOS, the audio device shows up on page 1, but I don't see a way to enable it.  I've looked at MSCONFIG and I don't see it there either.  How do I set the audio device to automatically enable on boot?

I don't have a definitive answer for your problem but personally I would uninstall then reinstall the audio drive.

Do you know if the Intel chipset driver was installed?

Changes to the registry especially with XP home must be done as Adminstrator after booting safe mode and logging in as adminstrator.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Bacillus, I don't think there's anything wrong with the driver, but I can certainly try that as a last resort.
 
SpeedStep, what change(s) to the registry did you have in mind?
