It should automatically restart afterward.

Honestly, I’m not sure if the sound card is even functional. I use HDMI to monitor, and I connect speakers, so it seems the sound card isn’t being used. It’s the same as before; the GPU drivers worked consistently, so I suspect Windows just reused them. I’ll check later, but for now, it behaves a bit like Linux does.
