First, I hope you are still looking here and sorry for your headaches.

Have you tried starting over from scratch? Completely removing and uninstalling your Realtek as well as your ATI HDMI Audio (which, by the way, is from your graphics card)?

There are different flavors of the Microsoft UAA Patch. The ones linked to in that article don't match the ones in this article: http://geekswithblogs.net/lorint/archive/2006/06/11/81540.aspx

Maybe try the XP SP2 link on that page and see what happens.
