Yes, I experienced the same issue. Had to roll back the audio driver, block the audio update, and then everything is fine. But magically, the hidden update did not show in the "Show hidden update" window...

So? Like you can do anything about it? They pwned your a** long ago, and sold it to for DRM. You're not a customer, you're product.

This little wrinkle had me doing the driver dance for a day or so.

This is where the Dell driver is replaced by a Windows update driver. If you do a "clean" install the Codex never works. I was aaable to figure out that by installing the Dell Driver (32Bit Vista) and set the Vista Update driver to hidden everything stayed working. The newer Vista update driver would always cause sound to quit. (No sound device installed - Sigmatel.) sovled the problem on two Dell machines.
