Audio device missing

[CobStardust]

My main audio device does not appear on bootup until I execute "sfc /scannow". I now run "sfc /scanboot" to ensure this runs each time I boot up the PC - I do not want to do this as it takes nearly 10 minutes. Is there a permanent solution?

CobStardust,

You might require an update for Windows, maybe Service Pack 1 will sort this out more you. I found more info on this here:
