Reinhold, further to this issue I have now found and installed a Win 7 
SoundBlaster Audigy driver supplied by the vendor (Creative. Their 
website said the supplied driver was for Win 7, Vista and Win XP) and 
this makes no difference to the problem, sound is still not available in 
Win 7 after restarting from Kubuntu.
A further query on this front, given that sound in Win 7 works after 
rebooting from Mandriva and not from Kubuntu, Mandriva is using the 
CA0106 driver for the card and as far as I can determine Kubuntu is 
using the CA0106 driver for the card, given that in both situations the 
driver is supplied as part of the kernel and should be the same in both 
situations, what is different in Kubuntu's version of the driver that is 
causing the issue I am having?

regards,
Steve
