now i've found this here
http://www.theeldergeek.com/forum/in...t=#entry101347

Hi to all! This message goes out to all of you who hadn't the luck to get their sound back to life with the given solutions in this thread: I followed all steps, but still my "PnP software enumerator" (or in german "PnP Softwaregeräte Enumerator") told me that he couldn't load the needed drivers. Consequently I had still no sound. I also made a windows repair install, but the problem was still there. After hundreds of trial & errors I finally came to a solution for WIN XP!:
1.) Deinstall your sound drivers. Save streamci.dll and swenum.sys and machine.inf to a temp folder as mentioned above.
2.) Deinstall your failing "PnP software enumerator".
3.) Go into the registry via regedit or the editor of your choice. In there close all keys so you just see "my work", "workplace" or whatever the englisch name for the german "Arbeitsplatz" is (it has a little computer symbol next to its name, I guess you know what I mean.)
4.) Then search for "swenum". Delete every key that you find. Before you do so I highly recommend to create a system restore point or a backup of your registry, just in case something goes wrong. You have to delete the whole key, not just the line with "swenum" in it. For example: You'll find the word "swenum" in a key where you can also find "pnp software enumerator" and some other entries. Again :You have to delete the whole key. On the left side you see an open folder in which you are in right now, deleteing this folder means to delete the whole key. Do so, it the quickest and easiest way. If there comes a warning that you don't have the permission to do so, right click the folder and give yourself the permissions to delete the folder ;-) Do this for all keys where you find the "swenum" in it. You should find about 5-10 keys.
5.) After you finished close the editor and reopen it again. Research the registry to make sure their is no more swenum entry.
6.) Restart, then check your registry again. Just for the case Win XP has reinstalled something. If you find another "swenum" entry delete it. Do also search for "PnP software enumerator". If you have done right before you shouldn't find anything. If you do anyway, delete the whole key again.
7.) Go to "windows/system32/drivers" and delete swenum.sys. Also go to "windows/system32" and delete the file streamci.dll (don't do that if you have forgotton to follow step1 of my description!)
8.) Now reinstall your "PnP software enumerator" following the steps mentioned in the posts above. (In the hardware manager click "have disk" and choose your temp folder and the inf file in there, choose "PnP software enumerator" under standard devices or something like that).
9.) If you have done right you should have the "PnP software enumerator" back without showing any errors. If you have done right Win XP shouldn't ask you to restart. Now install your sound drivers, restart and be happy again. I hope this solution did the trick for those who didn't find the posts above solving their problems. Maybe some steps can be left out, but I recommend to follow all of them, because I'm not sure where the errors is hiding exactly.

This file is part of your audio system startup tray. Reinstalling this
software should rid yourself of the error. cmicnfg.cpl is C-Media Control Panel Applet(for configuring sound).

What sound card are you using now ????
