lost legacy aduio drivers

I have a PIV WinXP with Sp2.

I lost my legacy audio drivers. I thought I was restoring them from my driver back-up file but obviously it was the wrong files, When I restarted, the entire folder was gone when I looked in Control Panel/Sound Volume & Control Panel/System/hardware/device manager.

I don't notice any problems. My mp3 & midi files play. My DXDiag & sound card tests are OK too.

What are the legacy audio drivers used for?
Do I need to replace them? If so How, where?

Thx

Welcome to Windrivers summerby

Legacy on a computer means "old". Legacy drivers allow backward compatibility with older programs and such.

To find your drivers need to know what make/model your pc is.

I have an Intel 845WN mother board with AC97 & AD1885 codecs & Soundmax Cadenza.

Does that help?

thx.

Here is the download link from Intel.
