Disable/enable device driver?

Hello

Since the embedded sound device on my Windows7 workstation doesn't always work after waking it up back from Sleep mode, I'd like to write a small VB.Net app to disable/re-enable it like it's done in Device Manager.

Can this be done simply in VB.Net?

Thank you.

That probably wouldn't help. Sounds like a setting or driver problem. You can't over ride Windows settings.
