I assume you need the Sound driver for XP so go to the link below:

Realtek AC97 Audio Driver A4.06
Realtek AC97 audio driver WHQL for windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003.ac97 audio codec Download now Size: 17.90MB License: Freeware Price: Free

Kanwa -- Must say not an easy one to find. That's a pretty old generic motherboard. That motherboard has a Realtek sound controller (Your board needs the Realtek AC'97 drivers for your particular operating system).


If you use Vista or Windows 7 you should download the Realtek AC'97 Driver for Windows Vista /
Windows 7) 6.0.1.6305.


For Windows XP download the Realtek AC97 Driver for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003 A4.06.


If one of these doesn't work then remove the driver and install VIA Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver 7.0b

The link is HERE.


Good Luck
