I installed windows XP on my Asus p4p8t and the sound isn't working anymore...im installing soundmax audio drivers from asus.com but it's saying driver not found or HDA audio bus needed and not found...can anyone help me with this...thanx Visar !

I'm thinking that you might have to install the chipset drivers, also.
Because the sound is part of the motherboard, they will be needed.

I have had this problem in the past.The solution is to do a clean reinstall of "windows XP" BUT !!!! before you start, remove the sound card, and the graphics card and any other cards from the motherboard. Reinstall XP. Only then do you reconnect all your cards to the motherboard. Windows will then say "found new hardware", so make sure you have the correct driver discs handy,(download them in advance if you have to) or Windows will just use one of it's own drivers. Guaranteed fix. I have used this technique with lots of different M/B's (XP assumes that anything attached to the motherboard is part of the motherboard, and ignores it's existance). Jim Duffy
