Can't uninstall audio drivers?

I was rebuilding an ECS K7S5A motherboard, and I reinstalled windows. For some bizarre reason, the C-Media audio drivers installed as well as the SIS audio drivers (from the ECS website) I keep trying to uninstall the C-Media drivers from add/remove programs, and the machine reboots, but then they are still there! I can't exchange them for the correct SIS drivers, the machine gives an error.

How do I manually yank out all the audio drivers, so that I can reinstall just the SIS drivers. I think I had this problem many years ago when the board was new, or on a previous build, but I forget how I got it working. I think the stupid C-Media drivers were from Windows Update, which I recall screwed up other systems I was working on in the past.

Help!

Boot the system into safe mode then uninstall the drivers. You may need to go into the device manager first and disable the audio before uninstalling the drivers.
