Audio Drivers

I don't know what the problem is with my audio drivers, but in order to get sound I have to redownload and reinstall them every time I restart my computer.  Once I have done that sound works fine again, but then if I have to shut down the computer for any reason there will no longer be sound when I start it again, the process takes less than 5 minutes, but is still extremely inconvenient.  System restores do not work and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of ways to fix this less drastic than a system reset.

    That's windows problem... most likely you'll have to reinstall....
     
    if that give you the same problem the motherboard is the problem with your system...
     
    check and see if it under warranty for replacements.....
     
    try going to safe mode and remove the question mark in device manager and ten restart the system in normal mode and see how it goes....
     
    let me know!!!
     
    Good luck

    When I went into safe mode sound worked fine without me doing anything, but then when I logged into normal mode again sound was gone until I once again re downloaded/isntalled

    then your problem is either windows itself or a program giving issues...
     
    try this...
    1. Click the Start button and then click Run.
      The Run window appears.
    2. Type msconfig in the text box. (Figure 1)
    3. Click the OK button.
      The System Configuration Utility window appears.
    4. In the General tab, click to select Selective Startup.
    5. Click to uncheck Process System.INI File.
    6. Click to uncheck Process Win.INI File.
    7. Click to uncheck Load Startup Items.
    8. Click the Services tab.
    9. Make sure that Hide All Microsoft services is not checked.
    10. Click the Disable All button.
    11. In the Service list scroll through and click to select System Restore Service and Plug and Play.
    12. Click the OK button.
      After a few moments a System Configuration message appears.
    13. Click the Restart button for the changes to take effect.
      A System Configuration Utility message appears after the computer finishes restarting.
    14. Click the OK button.

     

    If this does not work, i would definetly back up and reinstall.
