Sound driver help

[USAMP1980]

Greetings,

I have an issue. I need to reinstall SH3 for mods, etc. The only way I have been able to play is a fixed .exe, due to the StarForce-Vista driver issue. I have installed a duel-boot setup" Vista or XP

My Dell desktop came with integrated 7.1 sound chip. I have contacted Dell, etc. and nobody makes a Windows XP driver. Some one has mentioned to me before "why don't you just make an XP driver for it?" ... well, that is way beyond my skill level.

Therefore, if I boot-up XP... I have no sound. Would anyone be willing and able to make me a driver, so that my sound works in XP... and so that I can reinstall SH3 and play mods???:timeout:

I would just buy a soundcard, but I am out of proper slots... due to my Nvidia and Ageia PhysX card.

The only thing I know is that Vista show the driver: SigmaTel High Definition Audio Codex 6.10.0.5511

I did get SH3, StarForce, and GWX3.0 working on Vista..

but if anyone has the know-how and generousity to make me a sound driver for XP.. I would highly appreciated it.

Games generally play better on XP... Vista is a recource hog.



Cheers!

The new DVD's of SIII are Starfarce free, patched to 1.4b and cost about $10; I have Vista 64 and it plays beautifully with full effects.

I play with Vista 32 with no problems at all. I too have
an electronic SHIII from Direct2Drive.

Good luck
