Audio Device Error After Windows Update

I bought a Gateway with a Centrino Duo on the 7th, I decide to do the Windows
Vista update, and suddenly my audio device doesn't work. I went through,
being mostly computer literate, and checked the Device Manager, which says
the Audio Device is working, but when I try to play music, it says that there
is no Output Device installed. Under the Device Manager, I'm at Sound, video,
and game controllers. It says that this "SigmaTel High Definition Audio
CODEC" is working, but it clearly isn't. I was listening to music before the
update, and now it doesn't work... I've tried updating the Driver, but it
says the one I have is up-to-date. I read some other Discussions to see if
anyone else is having a similar problem, and it said something about copying
some values into the Hardware IDs, but mine look like this:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0260&SUBSYS_02600000& REV_1003
which is what the guy said except with a 1 at the end instead of a 3. Help
please, if anyone can. I'm thinking I should perhapse take it to someone
local if I can't figure it out.

Hi there,

Did you try rolling back on the diver in device manager under the properties
of the sound device?

Best regards,
Michel Denie

I looked for that, but it's grey. So this is the newest and oldest driver I
can use, or something...I'm going to try using the recovery disc.

Hi there,
Recovery should work but you can first try this:

Try booting with F8 from the menu appearing choose last known good
configuration. If that or later the recovery works and you are going to
update again skip any driver updates from windows update.

Best regards,

I just ended up using the recovery disc, then I updated again, and it
worked...I dunno what the problem was, but it seems to be fixed now.
