It is good to hear ( :-) . It was most likely a corrupted registry (system registry) entry. And, since I do not have access to a machine with the integrated SoundMax audio I would not have been able to get you the default registry entries. Most likely it was a privilege for either a key or value had gotten corrupted which would have meant that the driver was not able to read the key or value. Normally this would have been resolved by re-installing the driver but (in your case) if the privileges within the registry are corrupted then usually the only way to resolve (for most people without in-depth knowledge/experience) is the way you ended up taking. Isn't it great how hind sight can find the problem!
