I wish you luck.
this is exactly the kind of thing I decided I wasn't going to put up
with any more when I made my decission to go up the food chain a
little bit, even if I had to save a while.
The better motherboard vendors write better drivers, and support
their stuff a whole bunch better.
There is also more readily available information and often good tools
to use to find exactly what you are looking for.
But what you have is better than before.
When I do an install, I usually ghost or image right after installing
an operating system so if I botch a driver or something, i can
atleast go back and start from scratch without having to do the whole os again.
Incremental images.
Kind of a pain in the butt but unless you are very familiar with a
machine and have done this sort of thing lots, and can proceed with
confidence, then it's worth it well, even if you are experienced,
it's still worth it.
Saved my butt a zillion times.
Welcome to the it world 'grin'.
Ain't it fun?
You'll probably be ok,
also you can try microsoft update, often they have generic drivers,
let the computer go online and ms often has very decent drivers and
some of there's are better than the latest ones from some of the vendors.
It just depends.
You also haveto consider chipset, software, some intel boards require
the intel high definition audio driver,
These have to be installed in a certain order, usually chipset first,
then the hi def driver, then
all the other stuff.
Probably not the best time to tackle this when your not feeling well.

After clean installing XP successfully over win7 64, I screwed up by
installing the drivers on the factory disk I thought could be for
XP, and ended up with no sound at all, no device shown in the audio
tab of Sounds and Multi media.
Also, no XP drivers shown on the ZT Systems website for my new
computer's serial number, only win7 64 drivers.
But, who knows, I just went to RealTech and found generic RealTech
Hd Audio Codex drivers for Win 2000 and Xp 2003 32 and 64.
Before downloading, I had to agree that I knew that I might not get
all the audio features the motherboard manufacturer intended, but
any audio is better than no audio, maybe.
Wouldn't you know, I got noconnection to the US1 mirror site, but
got the bare .exe file from the Canadian site, after only a 1 or 2
minute wait to connect
.
Just in case, I also downloaded the zipped version from the HK
Hongkong mirror site, which connected in about 3 seconds.
I figured the RealTech stuff is made somewhere HongKong anyway, so
the driver might be less likely corrupt coming from there, and I
suppose they maintain their mirror site better than the Americans
and Canadians do..
Hope strings eternal, I guess.
