Windows 7 64bit, VIA audio chipset

I just updated some of my drivers using IObit Driver Booster (which is a recognized software developer group), but since the update, I noticed no audio icon on my notification bar

I check the windows audio services and all are enabled and running, but the notification bar icon says the service is not running...

any thoughts or suggestions, yes I can revert to previous drivers but that is a last resort


Question: It was a pun! from the Dead parrot sketch
Answer: Here is the dialogue I found. (source) In the dialogue, C refers to customer (J.C. in OP's question), O refers to the pet shop owner (M.P.),


  C: I understand this IS Bolton.
  O: (still with the fake mustache) Yes?
  C: You told me it was Ipswitch!
  O: ...It was a pun.
  C: (pause) A PUN?!?
  O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?
  C: (Long pause) A palindrome...?
  O: Yeah, that's it!
  C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!
  O: Well, what do you want?
  C: I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any longer as I think this is getting too silly!
  Sergeant-Major: Quite agree, quite agree, too silly, far too silly...


You're right that a pun plays on the different possible meanings. But in this dialogue, it seems like M.P. (O) has a problem with his word choice, or he is trying to act so.
