All of a sudden my volume controls and audio are gone on my SZ160. It vanished and I can't play music or adjust any of the settings. The error msg says that it can't locate and to add hardware. Do I reload drivers? Anyone else have this problem or ideas on a fix?

Download the volume control exe.

I had the same problem a few times on one of the SZs I work on (never had the same problem on the other two SZs and haven't had the problem for a few months now - fingers crossed)
The only way I could get round the problem was to go into Device Manager and then "View By Connection". I then ricght clicked to uninstal the "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio", next I clicked "Scan for Hardware changes" under the Action menu. This then finds the audio bits again and reinstalls them. It should then work (no need to do a reboot either).
I'd tried various other things without success and this worked everytime, so hopefully you have the same problem? Good luck..
SZ160 Audio/volume erased?
