It looks like a driver conflict.
Install the driver and go to system information it should show sharing
and conflicts. You have to change a resource the card is using. Do you have a built in soundcard on your mother board and you installed a separate sound card?

i don't think its a driver conflict as i have had no problems until recently.it is a built in sound card on the motherboard and i'm using realtek ac 97 drivers as recommended.

Ok, you says that it will not be a driver conflict and the problem started recently. What did you do on your pc recently before getting this missing driver? I forgot to ask you one thing. Which Brand is your PC?

That could be a virus or trojan your antivirus missed. Not sure why it makes the audio driver disappear.

I'm sure you know the course, rRun a full scan. Run, Ad-aware, Spybot, ccleaner. Do all these in safe mode.

Try ad-aware and ccleaner also. Both are freeware software that works well.
