Really annoying problem. After upgrading to XP SP2, everything is grayed out in my Sound options and it tells me no Devices are available for playback, though in the Hardware Manager, I can clearly see the Yamaha card and according to XP it's working!!!!!
What the HELL is this? I even downloaded the current driver package for this machine. According to XP it works, but still no playback devices available. Even when removing the device from HW Man., I re-intall it with the correct (new) driver upon startup...still no result. THIS SUCKS!!!
This is the LAST time I buy a brand PC. An IBM clone with quality components kicks any VAIO's ass). I can't even access the BIOS because Sony thinks I'm a retard or something. This is an insult to my intelligence....
