  Try rolling back to the previous set of drivers...

  If Mayi's solution doesn't work, then try this. Then, try deleting the upper and lower filters from your registry.
  
  To load Registry Editor,
  Start Menu -> Run -> Type "regedit"
  
  When Registry Editor loads,
  My Computer -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> Class -> {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} -> UpperFilters -> Edit -> Delete
  
  My Computer -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> Class -> {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} -> LowerFilters -> Edit -> Delete
  
  Do not delete UpperFilters.bak and LowerFilters.bak if you find them on your registry.
  
  Reboot your computer.

  You may need to reinstall certain CD recording / playing devices after you removed the registry keys.
