    and sound is working fine but when system goes into sleep and wakes up sound is gone. To restore sound restart is required.

    I looked for some drivers that I could use with win 7 but I got nothing. Does anyone of you know exactly what kind of chipset is used for IDT/Sigma sound card ??

    Windows7 driver shows up as HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DRIVER but when looked up in properties it says Realtek

    plz help

    yeah i have the same problem with my 6860, seems to be a proper issue with some laptops, i haven't come across a solution yet tho, it also does the same thing when you go into hibernate mode.

    I have been noticing the same thing on my 6860, finally narrowed it down to the laptop going to sleep. Luckily thats the only hicup I have found.

    same here, but you can go to device manager disable/enable and sound is back.
    better than restart on my book
