Hi, here is a link with some info http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104/
How did you get the audio driver? Download or of a cd?

i installed it from my mobo cd (intel express installer)... the driver works perfectly in sp1 and sp2 but it is not working with sp3.. the link u gave says that the error may be caused by "incompatible, outdated, or corrupted device drivers" where can i find compatible drivers for sp3 ?? i have tried windows update but its not working...
