I updated to a new driver from Windows and my sound is gone and the volume
control icon by the clock is gone. I tried to roll back but no drivers to
roll back too. System restore also did not work. Shoots. What now?

This is not a Windows group. Do not upgrade a driver from the Microsoft web
site. Go to the manufacturer's web page and get the update there. Have you
re-booted?

What did work was I removed the driver that was there and did a scan for
hardware changes. Windows found new hardware and automatically installed
the new driver. That did it. Everything came back; volume control and sound.
