I have recently configured an AMD PC with a GIGABYTE mobo.
Problem is, intermittently the audio driver (realtek) is getting uninstalled automatically.

I have formatted the PC again and reinstalled the driver, working fine for some day but again this is occurring.

Kindly give a light on this if anyone have faced this kinda problem..
Thanks in advance..:)

No uninstallation screens ....Just the speaker icon is gone from system tray..

moreover, when the PC is booting, the booting music is audible, I can hear them, but if I try to play audio file in player like winamp and all, or play u tube video's .. there is no sound..

icon in tray missing doesn't mean Audio driver got uninstalled. its just disabled at startup. even i disabled it & still works fine. BTW, which version are you using?

whats your OS?
1.Go to start>run>type "devmgmt.msc" without the quotes
2.Next expand "sound,video and game controller"
3.check if your audio hardware is listed and is there any unusual marking?
