SOLVED - Windows XP Audio Device Drivers

[userwaldo]

I have searched all over and can not find the drivers for Windows XP as a guest OS.

I tried the IHC AC97 optoin, and Windows XP detects the device, but I can't find a driver for this that will work.

I also tried the Sound Blaster 16 option, but was even less successful, as Windows XP didn't even detected the audio device.

If anyone has any hints, ideas, or anything else that would help me get this working I would apprecite it.


---------------- EDIT ---------------
I was able to get sound working with the Sound Blaster 16.
I selected it, and then manually installed the driver.
This worked for a host OS of Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04.

Here is an approximate summary of how I resolved this problem.
I did this by Selecting Add New Hardware in the Control Panel.
I then said that the Hardware was already installed.
I then selected the advanced option to manually selected the Driver.
It then listed all the already installed hardware with an option to add new hardware. I selected the option to select new hardware.
I then selected A new Multimedia Device.
I then navigated to Creative Labs, and selected Sound Blaster 16.

I then rebooted, and the sound started working.

Windows XP should have the AC'97 audio driver build in. Unless you changed the install CD, or use a non-standard installation disk, it should not give you any problems.
