Have you tried uninstalling playcenter and just using the drivers for the device? Understand that playcenter is -software- and not needed for the device to work. I would:
Try uninstalling only Playcenter first. Reboot and see of your audio is still working.
If your audio is not working, then remove the drivers from the hardware manager under the system icon in your control panel. Reinstall the drivers ONLY. Don't run the executable with the drivers unless you have to and if you can, OPT OUT of installing Playcenter. Playcenter is a bunch of fluff. You can probably find the drivers in a folder labeled for XP or NT or 2000 of something like that. Use "add hardware" from the control panel after the device has been removed and point it directly at the folder that has the drivers to install them. If this gives you trouble, try removing the device in the hardware manager as before and just let XP find and add the device on it's own. VERY IMPORTANT: After it installs that standard drivers, run Windows Update in the program menu and it will update to the current WHQL certified drivers for the card.
If you have a VIA motherboard, then make sure your 4 in 1 drivers are up to date too.
