What brand is your motherboard? Are you using onboard audio or a PCI audio card?
How old is the pc?

Have you updated your audio drivers?

Try here..

msicomputer, at the top click on Technical Support, at the bottom is a drivers download, key in your motherboard info.. I would remove your sound drivers first instead of upgrading.

This may not fix the problem..I had the same issue you are having with my ASUS motherboard.. my solution was to go back to XP until I upgrade my hardware. It's possible MSI does not have audio drivers for vista. My Motherboard is not supported by ASUS for Vista. Vista runs great on it but ASUS did nto release updated drivers for it. This may be your case to.
