Sometimes a simple removal of the Sound Device in Device Manager, followed
by a rebooting of Windows will detect new Hardware and reinstall the Drivers.
In Device Manager, scroll down to
Sound, Video and Game Controllers.
Click on the plus (+.) sign to reveal all (Expand).
Click to highlight each Device then the Delete Key, or choose remove.
Reboot.
The New Hardware wizard will pop up with a message,
"Found New Hardware and is installing Drivers, etc.
Windows does the work, just let it do it's thing.
