thank you for any hint.

First of all your motherbaord is not listed as GigaByte, second what is the model number of your IBM system ??
i cannot seem to find anything on the net related to your hardware =\

yes, nor did i ;)

i read "IBM 2000  1  06P2525  01" on the cpu side of the mboard;

the best approaching thing i found on the net was something that matched the mboard chipset Intel Solano i815E:
http://list.driverguide.com/list/letterI/index.html and the best was an XP driver, though not sure it's an audio driver here again  http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=124627

anyway, thank you for your precious time, and you get any lead, please kindly drop me a word.

What you need to do is ID the manufacturer of your soundcard, look here for how to do it:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/help.html

You may want to try going to windows update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/).  After it searches your computer comes back with available updates, there is a link on the left of the screen for hardware.  If they have it there, it would save you a lot of time.

zeria go here >> http://www.ibm.com/products/finder/us/finders?pg=ddfinder
can you see the link Automatically Detect My System in the right column, click it and check what does it report about your system ?? :)

thank you all gentlemen,

after the usual headaches, i managed to meet the vendor, he provided me instantly with a fresh burn of the entire mbd drivers, witch instantly installed uneventfully, so everything's running fine now.

couple of wasted days, a lot of new friends after, dff... (data flowing fine)

thank you all for your precious time, i'll maybe be back shortly for linux tips as i'm definitly switching by now after a decade or so of winds... (need a 90days-minimum-between-reboots system, and i suppose lin will do the trick!)

regards
zeriab

great..... glad you got it solved atlast zeriab :)
Cheers ^_^
