I have Vista Ultimate installed on a laptop. The onboard audio uses Sountek
as the driver but Vista keeps installing Realtek AC'97 as the driver for it.
The realtek driver puts my audio into a situation where I get the red 'X' bu
the speaker in the taskbak, along with something about 'No audio device is
installed'. When I reinstall the Soundtek drivers, the audio comes back and
works fine.
Windows update has installed the Realtek drivers about 5-6 times in the last
week and it is time consuming to keep reverting it back to a functional
state.
Is there a fix to keep this from happening in the future?
