Hi, I don't think anyone has answered this, so I'll give it a shot.  Edson, I 
don't think your kernel update has anything to do with your sound problems on 
Windows.  In a dual boot setup the different operating systems reside on 
different partitions of your hard drive.  They should have nothing to do with 
one another (You can "mount" a Windows partition under Linux and a Linux 
partition under Windows and get access to one partition from the other, but I 
don't think you have done this).  Did you make any changes to your Windows 
operating system before the sound went out?  What have you done to trouble 
shoot the problem?  I think Windows XP has a troubleshooting wizard that you 
might find in the Help Center.  Not to be insulting, but check the most 
obvious things first (a good place to start when troubleshooting any 
problem).  If nothing else helps, you might try to use the Systerm Restore 
option (NOT, I repeat NOT System Recovery).
