Hey
I restored my computer to an earlier date to fix one problem, which has now caused another... I can get into doing stuff for about 2 hours - then all audio will cut out completely. Unfortunately, I haven't really found anything that helps.. I saw some previous threads similar to this and I tried going into device manager and right clicking and checking for updates on my audio drivers... it told me that my drivers were up to date. A restart fixes my problem, then it starts again after a period of time. Also - when i go to play music, it doesn't continually skip until giving me a error message about a problem with my sound card.
Heres a dxdiag report
