Can't get sound to work with Windows 8.1 Preview

I know Windows 8.1 is in preview and not officially supported by Bootcamp yet.

Since I installed Windows 8.1 preview (Macbook Pro Retina 15"), I can't get any sounds out of the speakers or head phone jack (Built-In Mic works though)

The sounds device appears ok in the device manager (Cirrus Logic CS42206B)

Someone know what should I try? I just did reinstall Bootcamp 5.0 drivers.

Thanks for your suggestions!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Open up Sound in the Control Panel, right click on Speakers and Headphones, click "Properties", go to the Enhancements tab, and check "Disable all enhancements" (Don't forget to click "OK"). This solves the problem.
