"This driver works very well with Windows XP Pro without a hitch.

This is the driver you will need for Intel AD1981A analog device(onboard sound).

My motherboard is D845GRG. I've searched and searched for a workable driver for this and I finally found one that really works. I would like to thank the person who submitted this driver."

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
