sound

Do you know if they have fixed the sound problem with the new build I lose my sound after 1 min then have to reboot the pc to get sound back

Sound problems are most likely due to the lack of quality drivers from manufacturers, and I do not believe the new build has any major impovements in that area.

I had a complicated situation with my Sigmatel sound. It did not work after the original install. After the install, Windows Update indicated their was an update, installed it- still no sound. Copied the Cab folder in XP that had an update I downloaded from Gateway about a year ago for my sound card. Pointed the "Update Driver" to that folder, looked liked it installed. I restarted my computer, still no sound. So, I went back to the folder and ran the setup routine. It ran, I restarted, and I heard the most beautiful noise when my computer started up. Once again, Windows Update said there was an update available. What the hell, I tried it and thankfully, my sound still works. Sounds great, too.
Speaking of the "Welcome" song- I thought I had read there was a new one. Under 'System Sound Events' I only have Windows default and None listed under Sound Scheme. Anyone have any new sounds or heard the new Start Windows song?
Sorry for straying. Hope you get your problem fixed.
