Deus Ex - sound problems

I've installed the latest patch for Deus Ex but I can't run the game unless I disable all sound. This is the error message I get from Windows XP.

"General protection fault!
History: glxDetectOutput <- UGalaxyAudioSubsystem::Init <- UEngine::InitAudio <- UGameEngine::Init <- XGameEngine::Init <- DDeusExGameEngine <- InitEngine"

Although Eidos recommends using an EAX compatible sound card no special sound requirements are listed. I use the built in sound on my computer which has built in sound on an Epox EP-3VBA2/3VCA/6VBA2 motherboard.
Please advise!

 

update your sound drivers?

 

There's a problem with that. The manufacturer's website doesn't supply downloads for outdated cards like mine. I sent an e-mail to support asking for help on driver updates today and I am waiting for reply.
However, since I'm not even sure that drivers are the problem I thought I'd find out if there are known sound issues with Deus Ex that this community might advise on. Neither Eidos's homepage or PlanetDeusEx have any information on this problem.

 

Audio drivers are now updated. No success so far.
