My experience in Oct2007 with DP35DP audio varied in a new PC build. When I
installed Vista Home Premium, no audio problems ... driver installed fine,
sound sounded good. When I installed WinXP-SP2 at a current maintenance
level, no audio hardware on the mobo was seen and the driver install thus
failed. I opened an email dialog with Intel about this. After some days of
exchanging emails, I concluded that this was a hopeless exercise and that my
smartest (and likely only) way of resolving this problem was to install a
sound card.
If there is a hotfix or WindowsUpdate maintenance for this problem to date,
I have not seen it. Or is this an Intel problem?
