I have replaced the UniAud*.Sys from several releases back with this new update. I've not noticed hangs, but the sound production has definitely gone very bad. The most obvious symptom: * Almost every video or sound results in a very jerky and stuttering sound and video. Eventually, most of the videos [if they are long enough: 20-30 seconds at least] eventually smooth out. But, the audio is never quite up to the old drivers. * I backed off to the previous levels and after the reboot, the sound is back as it was before.
