Sound problems after kb941644 and kb943485

I've installed the updates kb941644 and kb943485 and now have no sound on my
Windows XP Pro desktop. This used to work, worked a couple of days ago
before installing these updates. I've done a couple of reboots, including a
power cycle.

Any advice here? I tried a system restore to 1/15/2008, and my company's IT
software immediately re-installed the updates, so I think that I'm stuck with
them.

Thanks.
