Sound problems Warth Warthog (with Windows XP issue) and fix.

Greetings, 

I recently installed Ubuntu Warty Warthog on a brand new Desktop (i686
- Celeron).

After installing Ubuntu Linux, I reinstalled Windows XP on the first partition
(this was required for testing of another intermediate reboot fault.)
After this installation, the sound card (on motherboard) stopped
outputting sound.
(No sound driver was installed under Windows.)

SOLUTION: Install sound driver in Windows. 
Sound works again under Linux.

[Has anyone else experienced this problem? I tried various Google searches,
and wasn't able find anything close to this issue.  
"Ubuntu sound missing"
"Ubuntu audio lost" etc.]

Regards, Paul
