Can't find right sound driver Please Help!!!

Hi

I recently reinstalled windows because of a crash and my sound doesnt work, I'm running WINDOWS XP PRO SP2. It's a Onboard sound card, The Motherboard is P6VAP-A+ (comes up as P6VAP-AP on start-up)

System Manufacturer: VIA694
System Type: AWRDACPI

It says its a Built-in PCI 3d sound CMI 8738 in my user manual and I have downloaded the XP drivers (Driverguide.com, sound-drivers.com) but I get a blue error screen and have to reboot

The drivers I do have on the disk that came with the computer
CMI8X38 Folder Installation Notes are for 95/98/NT 4.0 and 2000

Any help would be really appreciated

 

I really hate having to guess on the manufacturer of a motherboard, when only the model# is posted. I will take a guess though, ECS motherboard. You need to go to the manufacturer site at http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/downloads_main.cfm?to=Motherboard and download the drivers at http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?categoryid=1&typeid=3&detailid=117&DetailName=Driver&DetailDesc=P6VAP-A+(1.x) which is the only way to get the drivers. Searching here and there is not going to get you the correct drivers.
