No audio device - new drivers needed

    I just got my computer back from repair, and they replaced the motherboard. They had installed XP Home, so I immediately installed XP Pro SP2 and updated everything at Windows Update. Everything works well except sounds. Sound is built-in and used to work on the old motherboard, but I don't know if it worked on XP Home or not.

    Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices says "No Audio Device" and everything is greyed out.

    Legacy Audio Drivers Properties has the device status as "this device is working properly", but the Device Usage drop down list at the bottom is greyed out.

    I attach an EVEREST report. It doesn't say anything that helps me, but then again if it did I wouldn't post...

    I think I need to install better (older?) drivers, but I don't know which or how to get them.

    Thanks, this lead me to a page where I could download a driver. Unfortunately, installing that driver gives me "Driver Error 01". Googling that, I found this thread: http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?p=615301#post615301

    It seems I want the ac97 (ad19xx) use for fsc-boards d1625 , d1627... | 18.05.2004 | 14,99 MB Version: 06/13/2003 5.12.01.3621 driver, but I can't find that anywhere. Obviuosly, my google skills are not what I thought they were... How can I locate that driver?

    Thanks, worked like a charm. Turns out it was searchable from the Fujitsu Siemens support site. However, I had to search for "ad19xx". "ac97" did not return correct reuslts.
