Rod;
I would try the motherboard manufacturer's website, and
download the correct sound drivers for XP.

Subject: [PCBUILD] sound card not recognized by windows XP


Hi

I have an onboard sound card (ES1869 from ess technologies) which works fine
unders Windows ME but not under XP. I get the message that " the firmware of
the device did not give the required resources". I have tried the ESS site
and they say that the drivers for the card are built into XP and they will
not release new ones.
