You need to re-install all the Drivers from the Driver CD that shipped with the PC.

That cd is long gone....I tried going on the sony web site to down load the sis driver but its only for win xp =/  Any other ideas???

Could you post the make and model of your Sony PC and more importantly, the sound card? the sound card manufacturer's site might have Vista drivers.

Here you go mate:

It should be SIS 7012. The link contains everything you need for your model.

For some reason I couldn't edit my post, so I will make a new reply to add something:
Did your computer originally come with Windows Vista installed? There's no official SiS 7012 Driver for Windows Vista. And your list mentions that you're running XP. However, you can try a scan with Drivermax in an attempt to find a driver for vista.
