Check the USB section in the Device Manager and see if there is an Unknown device listed.
If there is, chances are its the USB connected sound device, and the status is corrupted in Windows. If this is the case, RIGHT click on the entry for the device and then LEFT click 'uninstall'. DO NOT check the box to also uninstall the drivers.
Then disconnect the device from the PC and then restart the PC. After Windows starts, reconnect the device and Windows should find the new hardware and reinstall it. Then check the Device Manager and it should be shown under 'Sound, Video and Game Controllers'.

I did as you suggested but it is not installing correctly.This is what the device manager window looks like (as you thought).Now the truth comes out. Just before I started having this trouble, in the sounds window you get when right clicking the speaker icon in the task bar, under playback and recording, I thought I would be clever and change the name of the device from 'USB Audio Codec' to 'SignaLink' (the actual name of the device). It worked OK for awhile, but after restarting the pc, the 'USB Audio Codec' disappeared from the sounds window as well as 'SignaLink.' So I think that's what I did to screw it up.
I tried to restore to a previous time but those all failed ('failed to extract c:config.msi from the restore point').What do I do next?
