problem with on board sound card on intel 945GTP

[Guest]

Windows does not see the sound card at all. Also a PCI device is not properly
configured and when it prompts for drivers, it does not find it neither on
the XP cd rom nor on Intel's driver disk. This is not a hardware issue,
because the machine is dual boot and under Linux the sound card works. Using
"system information" under components, "sound devices" lists nothing and
"problem devices" lists PCI device. When I restart it show a new hardware
device, which is this PCI device, but cannot find the driver on any of the
disks.

Sound cards used to be the least problematic devices. Any help would be
appreciated.

Even if linux detects it xp doesnt,try unplug computer,move the pci card(s)
to a diffrent pci slot,start computer.

Farid, try here. Looks like there's a new Audio Driver.

Wrong, it is a hardware issue. The chipset drivers you have installed may work for
Linux distro's but not Windows. You need to install the proper drivers for the
proper chipset for the proper OS version. Since you don't mention which version of
XP, start here to select the proper OS for the proper chipset for the proper drivers:

No that is a pointless exercise. The OP needs to install the appropriate
Chipset driver package for the motherboard. If Intel, it probably needs
the SMBus controller driver - once installed Sound can be detected.
