Installing ADI Soundmax integrated drivers on Server 2003. HELP!!!

Im trying to load ADI Soundmax integrated audio drivers on my Server 2003
machine, which is a Presario 900 (compaq) laptop. I keep getting the message
ADI Audio Codecs not istalled or Mixer Device not found. Any help???

Did the drivers come from the Windows Update web site?

i think i have like a similar problem..... i'm using soundmax digital
integraded audio...this was what was initially installed on my computer when
i bought it...it has been 1 year now..it think... now it suddenly doesn't
work...well i can't hear sound on my computer....when i click on the volume
contol in my taskbar it says "no active mixer device is available. To install
mixer divice.....". An when i click on Soundmax integrated audio...in my
taskbar...it says "fail to create direct sound"....i am using windows Xp
service pack 2....when i play something on mediaplayer it gives me an
"C00D11BA: Cannot play the file" error....so any1 know what the problem
is?...is it because i have updated the driver??....where do i update
it?...because the windows update site doesn't give me updates to my
soundmax...

I am having similar problems with my soundmax integr... the driver has been
updated, however, it wasn't MS digitally signed software so no guarantee it
would work. I check device manager and so forth and everything is enabled
and working properly. However, I am still not getting sound. I did recently
upgrade from ME to 2000 Pro... and the sound did work up until a few weeks
ago, abruptly, without any warning.
