Lost sound when updating Intel/broadcom driver
Hi, I installed Vista Business x64 on a HP NW8440 notebook. Everything worked fine (including sound and Windows Media Player) until installing an advised driver update for the Wireless card. After that, Wireless started to work and sound (including WMP playback of anything that has sound, including video) was lost. WMP complains with a access denied error. Everything looks ok in device manager on the sound and network components. After trying to roll back and even delete the installed Intel/Broadcom driver using PnPUtil with no result, I have downloaded latest drivers from Soundmax, HP and Intel/Broadcom and tried to roll forward with no result. Filed a case with HP who couldn't help. Looking for someone who knows more about the sound channel in Vista and how to troubleshoot this appearant conflict.
