I'm running XP Pro. I used to have a SoundBlaster 16 card. I then changed
motherboards and the new one included onboard HD audio so I no longer need
the SB16 drivers.

I performed a "repair install" of XP, and everything is working PERFECTLY
with the exception of audio. Although I delted the actual sb16 drivers from
my disk, I still seem to have references to the SB in the registry.

Is there a way to competely blow away any audio configuration and let
everything re-detect from scratch without having to do a fresh
installation????

Thanks,
Troy
