    You'll need the UAA bus driver from MS and the Realtek HD Audio driver for XP.

    Try the realtek drivers from here:

    http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads...=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

    Out of curiousity, why did you not verify all the drivers are available for your OS before you did a clean install? I mean... if it shows Vista requiring a driver, you can pretty much assume that XP would need one?

    ^^ FYI, you don't need to download Microsoft UAA when it's already integrated into Realtek's HD Audio driver.

    True enough. I'm not sure if XP SP3 already has the UAA integrated or not either.
