Well then...
power down, switch off and power up again. probably, you won't enjoy your sound then.
starting wiondows sets the "unplug and throw away" hardware to that what you see in the control panel. Setting that up in linux wont work since the card might not get initialized. A warm reboot from Windows keeps these settings, a cold start natureally will unset them.
One should not flame Windows for making PnP devices work when Linux scrambles things... An who knows, maybe he had never turned the system on/off but only had "rebooted." I have noticed even some vendors, specifically RedHat, mention using Windows to determine resource usage and I had to use Windows to make sure everything was working and documented before I proceeded into the slightly broken but wondeful SuSE world of 7.2 Professional...
