DRIVER NEEDED: Intel 82801FB ICH6 (Windows XP Professional) [PCI / ISA]

[darkseraph]

I am working on trying to set up the audio device for my mother's computer. She had a new hard drive installed some time ago and since then has never had any type of audio sound for her computer. I have spent some time trying to find the driver but I have not had any luck. Here is the everest report for her computer:

FYI, there is no such sound chip as Intel 82801. Sound chips are made by companies like Realtek, Cmedia, ADI SoundMAX, VIA, and IDT (formerly Sigmatel). You would have realized this had you taken the time to read the several STICKIES and dozens of identical requests in this forum.
