XP sound driver for server 2003

**adam.t** · June 23rd, 2008, 01:58 PM

I have a sound card laying around that I want to install in our server. There isn't a driver for server 2003, but there is one for xp. The xp one doesnt seem to work, but is there any possible way I could modify it so it does? Or am I in over my head? Thanks

Even though its not a creative product?

No good those are the drivers I already have.

XP drivers should work on 2003, you might have to force it to install them.

How do u force a driver install?

Manual install - select the inf/sys files.

If its a server,
I hope it isn't a mission critical one that your forcing to accept a sound card

Got it to work. But its its not working over term serv only through the speakers plugged directly into the server. Im noticing that even if im term served in as admin that it wont let me unmute the windows volume settings for some reason. Any ideas?

click here you probably need to turn off driver signing.
