"Your"? This is a public newsgroup - and although I cannot speak for
everyone here - I personally have never released an SP1 for Windows Vista.

Read this article:
http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/wi...ws-update.aspx

Perhaps this link from that:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948343#method5
Where it states:
"To help ensure a positive update experience, Windows Update will
temporarily not offer Windows Vista SP1 to systems that have the following
device drivers." Did you download the stand-alone?

Have you gone through this article (also linked to from the above article):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948187

Does Realtek or the motherboard manufacturer have any help available? (In
other words - the people who actually created the hardware in question...)

Hi there,

Hopefully you did not take that driver from windows update?

Never take drivers from windows update unless they are intended for
Microsoft hardware.

If an updated driver is needed because the hardware does not work proper go
to the manufacturers website to look for an updatede driver.

If it ain't broke: do not try to"FIX" it.

If you did take the optional drivers from windows update try booting last
known good configuration, rolling back on the driver or use system restore
in safe mode prior to a date of the problem or restore from the full system
backup you hopefully made.

Assuming you are using Windows XP: here you can see how to roll back on a
device driver:

You can disable the update appearing when automatic updates is set by going
to the windows update website and unmark (hide) driver in question.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

You experience problems with sound after you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1
