Edson, I don't think your kernel update has anything to do with your sound problems on Windows. In a dual boot setup the different operating systems reside on different partitions of your hard drive. They should have nothing to do with one another (You can "mount" a Windows partition under Linux and a Linux partition under Windows and get access to one partition from the other, but I don't think you have done this). Did you make any changes to your Windows operating system before the sound went out? What have you done to trouble shoot the problem? I think Windows XP has a troubleshooting wizard that you might find in the Help Center. Not to be insulting, but check the most obvious things first (a good place to start when troubleshooting any problem). If nothing else helps, you might try to use the Systerm Restore option (NOT, I repeat NOT System Recovery). -- For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
