The thing that bugs me is, that at least you would think that since I have sound drivers that are installed and working, I could just use the Roll Back Drivers option in Device Manager when it updates but for some reason that doesn't work.
It will show that I have switched to the older drivers, (the ones that work are from 2011) but the distortion of the sound stays until I remove the sound card, reboot, reinstall the drivers from the disk that came with the sound card, reboot again, and then maybe it will work, or maybe I have to repeat the process again up to 3 times.
If the roll back drivers function would work it would at least make this a lot easier to fix.
But the thing that is really a pain is that it's failing to reboot in the middle of the updates?
That requires all kinds of fiddling around to get it working again.
