It actually wasn't, it was just that the driver and one of the dlls M$ apparently changed wanted to use the same memory and one just kicked the other out, I usually never upgrade sound drivers unless I come across some problem. And the last time Windows upgraded my joystick driver, the new driver would always crash in a very bad way whenever I attempted to calibrate. So, no I don't let it upgrade my drivers, I usually get them from the manufacturer as well, I don't even trust most third party sites like treiberdownloads.de or so except if I'm very desperate.
