Sound Card Issues On 8.1

[Matt-Sir]

Hey, I installed Windows 8.1 a couple days back and I've noticed a couple of problems. I'm sure this comes as no surprise to most but the problems are, whenever I shut my PC off for the night then turn it back on, I always have to reinstall my sound card or I have no audio and I have to unplug and replug my controller.

uninstall ur drivers, use driversweeper. than install the latest sound-drivers.

its also possible ur audio module on ur motherboard could be damage.

please comeback and let us know how this went thanks.

Just to be clear this isn't on-board audio and the sound card worked perfect on 7 the same day I decided to install 8.1, I also downloaded all the latest drivers before installing 8.1 and my sound card is fairly old now so doesn't get driver updates often.
