Greetings!

I've seen this problem dozens of times over the past couple of weeks and have tried every solution posted, but nothing seems to work for me, so I'm posting the question with my specific hardware listed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Sony Vaio PCV-RS 430G with an integrated ADI SoundMax AD1981B. My mother board is an Asus P4SD-VX with an Intel chipset (82801EB(M)ICH5).

The sound works fine under Windows XP, but I want to run Windows 2000 Server. The sound card shows up in the device manager with a "?" and when I try to install using, what I'm pretty sure are the right drivers, I get an error at the end of the install stating "Driver not found! Reboot your system, and run this setup again."

I've done that in normal and safe mode, but get the same thing. All Sony has for download are XP drivers, but when I try that I get an error stating the drivers are ONLY for XP and the setup exits without installing anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
