Every time I switch off my PC, I have to re-install my sound card. When I turn it on, sounds like windows logon and MSN alerts work, but music and videos dont and when I try and open things like iTunes I get a problem with audio/video config error.
If i double click the speaker in the task bar it says no active mixer devices available.
My sound card still appears in device manager.
Re-installing the driver app fixes this, but why do I need to do this after every reboot?
PS this start a while ago so I cant system restore point.

I've rolled back driver, which didnt help. And tried installing with antivirus etc disabled. Non of these helped.
I cant disconnect the sound card as its not an actual card its built in to the motherboard.

try disabling your anti-virus/anti-spyware FIRST, then install drivers, test and then reboot. When all is good, enable ur software again. I had the same problem with my computer, and my anti spyware programs were blocking the drivers from installing correctly.

One trick you can try is to disconnect your sound card turn on your PC then turn it of and then reconnect it. Give your PC the impression you are installing completely new hardware.

Go to control panel add new hardware & search for new hardware and if it needs to be reinstalled reinstall the driver software and it should cure your problem
