Sound MAX on board driver help?

[divcraft]

I just re installed Windows XP home edition and i relised i have to install all the drivers again, But my sound card driver dosent work.

I have a SoundMAX on board sound card which came with my computer and was working before i reinstalled windows.

I've got EVERY single soundMAX driver i can find but none of them work! They either come up with "Driver not found! Reboot your system and try the setup again" or if not that it will come up with "The HDA Audio bus driver is required and not found"...

I Have googled this thing for days and i cant find an answer

Does anyone have any ideas?

What is your computer and/or motherboard make and model? As this is an onboard chip, frequently found in Dell, IBM and Compaq, that will provide the answer. Some generic SoundMax driver is not likely to ever work.

You probably need more drivers than the sound anyway.
