Hi Brian,

First of all welcome to Software Tips & tricks. I've noticed from your post that you have an Intel motherboard D946GZIS

Follow the link below to download drivers related to your mainboard.

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2482&OS FullName=Windows*+XP+Media+Center+Edition&lang=eng &strOSs=88&submit=Go%21

Option number 2 in the list.

Drivers

2. Audio: IDT* 92XX Driver (19357KB)
5790_5713_v83 5/22/2008 Download
Installs the integrated audio driver for Intel® Desktop Boards with IDT* audio. (WHQL certified)

[BryanH]

I downloaded and installed the drivers, now when I try to use WinAmp it says there's a bad DirectSound driver, and iTunes says it detects a problem with my audio configuration. Any other ideas?

[Kevin_gibson]

OK..
Go in to Device Manager and click on sound, video and game controller and see if you have any yellow exclamation marks next to anything?

[BryanH]

Yep, next to IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

[BryanH]

Downloaded the IDT drivers and everything works now. Thanks for the help! =D

OK cool, happy listening Bryan
