SoundMax integrated digital audio, can't install driver

[Brad Stettler]

I am well aware that there have been other discussions on this board about the challenges with installing certain SoundMax Drivers, particularly on Dell Desktops with integrated audio. Those discussions were closed but I felt compelled to add this piece to that collection. I ran through a horrible time trying to get sound drivers working on a fresh install of XP Pro on a Dell Precision 360. Dell website links to nothing useful nor do any other sites I called up. All drivers end with some sort of error generally at the end of the install. Thankfully I had another older box nearby with a clunky copy of XP that I could grab a WinDriverBackup of the included audio drivers. If you are battling this I've linked them up here, hope they help someone.
