May I join the "I Got Screwed by Upgrade" club? This makes twice in a row that an upgrade has trashed my computer.

Wow! From May 2010 to March 2011 and we are still having trouble with something as fundamental as sound. That problem fell on me out of the clear blue sky, (if you don't count doing updates as...
