My System:

Intel P4 2.8Ghz proc
ASUS P4PE-X/TE mobo
3x 40gb Samsung Spinpoint HDD
2x 256mb DDR400 RAM
500 watts ATX PSW

Download these http://neosmart.net/downloads/guides...d/WDM_3665.rar drivers and extract them to a folder somewhere with WinZip.
Open Device Manager (Control Panel | System | Hardware | Device Manager) find the entry for the SoundMAX, and update its driver with the one in the \SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\ directory that you just extracted.
Restart your computer.
Open Control Panel | Audio Settings | SoundMAX | Properties. In the 'Other' tab uncheck the first entry and check the second for digital audio. If you have analog speakers, leave both unchecked.
If sound quality is not that great, try changing the Format settings in that last tab on the page.
Vista will tell you that Windows Update has found newer drivers. Ignore it or you'll lose the sound!
