wdmaud.drv in WinXP setup

[egghead]

hi:

i have the same board and you cannot install the drivers from the cd.
if you do you will have complete problems. if you have installed any type of drivers from the motherbopard cd uninstall them now!

you dont need the cd with xp.
i did it once and my computer had errors after loading the agp drivers etc...

after you uninstall all the drivers reboot and try these drivers

actually, I did not try to load any of the cd drivers until I could not load them any other way. at first there were 3 devices not loading but after changing all the registry permissions under 'PCI' to full control 2 of them loaded but not the aforementioned 'audio controller'......
thanx again

When i install xp it installs all my drivers including the audio and network.

I disable the onboard audio because i use the soundblaster live! with 5.1 audio speakers.
I have not had a problem with this board but i am only using sdram
is your copy of windowsxp a copy?
if it is you should borow another copy and just use your original installation key.
you must have a bad xp disc.
this works flawless on my setup.
