Did you try entering the model # of your motherboard in google. You should be able to get the drivers for all on board devices (audio,video) Changing IRQ settings will not help unless you actually have an IRQ conflict. A win 98 driver should work with ME as long as it is the right driver for your sound card. With some drivers you have to install the driver software to a folder on your hard disk, and then run it's exe progam or select this folder from device manager and select re-install driver. Also, most of the drivers found at Drivers guide are zip files that have to be extracted first. IF none of this works ,you can disable onboard audio in cmos. I hope this helps!
