Sound won't work after changing OS

I have a Toshiba Satellite P205-S6307 Laptop. It came with Vista and I hated it so we took it off and installed XP Pro SP2. We've tried and tried to find a driver that will work the sound card, all to no avail. The sound card is the Intel 82801 GMB ICH7-M High Definition Audio Controller. I stumbled across a link on Google here and tried the drivers referenced in it because with the exception of the other posters computer being a Compaq, he had the same audio card and DVD drive. I know, silly to think it would work. But I'm desperate.

Other info:
CPU Dual Core Intel CeleronM 1866mHz
Motherboard Chipset Intel Calistoga i945GM/PM
BIOS Type Phoenix (04/26/07)
System Memory 2038 MB (DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM)
Audio Adapter Intel 82801GBM ICH7-M - High Definition Audio Controller
Disk Drive TOSHIBA MK1637GSX (149 GB, IDE)
Optical Drive LB7363M FFR840S SCSI CdRom Device
Optical Drive PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K17LF

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

With the exception of the built in web cam, the sound is the only other thing that I can't get working. I don't really care about the web cam, but I do miss having sound.

Also, while I'm at it, since I can't get any information from Pioneers website about what file types are recognized by my DVD player, any guidance on where to look for that info?
Thanks in advance.
