What happens to the sound when the message appears?
 
Do you have any old sound drivers installed that could be mixing things up? Maybe you need to completely wipe out all the old and new drivers and freshly install them...
 
Sound just goes completely. No old sound drivers completely fresh install a few months back.
 
Search the web and use different drivers, there are usually several different versions that will work.
