After I downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista Home Premium (x64), it could no longer play sounds. If I for example tried to play an mp3 file, WinAmp would start, but the song wouldn’t begin.

I reinstalled the drivers for my Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty card, and sound now works as it should.

There was nothing about sound card drivers in Windows Update (possibly because they weren’t really new), and I found no errors in the Device Manager.

Creative sound card drivers: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/

I have had no other problems after installing SP1 — yet.

On a semi-related note: I recommend using a program called X-Fi Mode Changer, which makes changing modes (Entertainment and Gamer) less of a headache.
