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..
