That is actually a pretty rare issue, although my dell inspiron 1501 had the same issue. It turns out that the laptop wasn't "letting go" of the sound card during reboots, and the new OS was trying to access the device at a different 'location' than the linux partition. I'm not really sure the technical description behind it, but one of the articles I read said to disable the dynamic IRQ assignment in windows, and manually specify the sound card's IRQ in the bios if it's available.
