    Go to Device Manager and see if it knows what sound chip you have. Then try Google and/or the manufacturer's website to see if there's a driver available for it. You could also try asking in the Sony forum if you haven't already.

    An audio driver can be a little hard to find, depending on the manufacturer (Sigmatel for example).

    List the make and model so we can help search for a compatible driver for you.

    extract the files to a folder.

    Find the HDAQFE folder, then find the xpsp2/us folder and run kb888111xpsp2.exe

    During the installation of this, you should get the add new hardware wizard for your sound card. Browse ro the WDM folder.

    I think that should take care of it.

    at what point are you getting stuck?
    You don't "need" to run the setup program. The first thing I mentioned is a fix for HD Audio for XP, the second part is the actual driver installation.
