one of the upgrades Windows made with vista was reducing all audio drivers to two categories... maybe you should investigate about it... but, if you bought it with vista installed, i can't see why there should be any problems... maybe you should contact tech support...

Try using driver detective its $29 but gives you automated links to the correct driver website and lets you know if you have the correct drivers installed, I am dual booting with Vista Home Premium and have been ok with my sound and all other drivers, Good Luck
