I had the same problem on a highly modified and upgraded Medion PC MT6 with a
RealTek ALC 650 audio chip. I also wasted many hours uninstalled and
reinstalled a number of different versions of the sound driver, reformatting
my HD reinstalling Window, doing system restores, etc, etc all with no luck.
Thanks to this post I was able to use the same solution to reinstall the PnP
SW enumerator and I now have my sound back. Amazing M$ wanted me to pay them
for helping me fix something they broke with an update to on their flawed SW!
Thanks to all of you for seeing this problem through and posting it for
others!

I GOT IT!!!! WOOOOHOOOO! Finally. Way too many hours spent on.
this. First, your questions/comments...
Yes, I checked that every so often. It was always on.
In services, make sure that the WinAudio service is enabled,
automatic, and running. Then in Device Manager, System Devices make
sure Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator is installed ok.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There is more that is needed...continue reading.
If you need to reinstall the Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator,
copy machine.inf from %windir%\inf to a temp dir
remove line 20: ExcludeFromSelect=*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The interesting thing about that is I tried deleting each of these and
Now using the New hardware Wizard:
add new hardware \ have disk (select the temp dir
with the modified machine.inf) and install the
plug and play software enumerator
(swenum.sys is found in system32\drivers
streamci.dll is found in system32
or they can be found on your windows disk)
they would come right back, without me doing anything.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was right that the sound card install is just fine.
Once that is reinstalled, uninstall the sound card drive, do a scan
for hardware changes then after it finds and reinstalls that card, you
should have sound again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good luck, and post back results please.

Here is what I needed to do...
I did need to fix the PnP Device Enumerator. HOWEVER, I read this
site:
http://www.theeldergeek.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16136&pid=101347&mode=threaded&start=#entry101347
and that said I should delete all the registry entries for swenum. So
I did that and reinstalled the PnP Device Enumerator. At first it
generated an error and did not work. So I rebooted and tried again.
It worked this time. I then uninstalled my sound driver, the OS
automatically found it again and it installed correctly. Now it
works.
Finally...THANKS for all your help, everyone who responded.
