Sound issues on Vista Home Premium?

screw windows, go to distrowatch.com and get linux. burn a copy, or you can order one for like $5. i had a hard time with windows too, so i got linux mint. mak sure to get GNOME, or you will have problems. if you burn a copy, it's 100% free, no fees, no pricey software. go for it, i'm using it to write this!
