i have a intel d925xecv2 motherboard which realtek alc880. i am not able to install realtek sound driver WDM_R198 in xp sp3. there is sound but the realtek sound manager is not in the system tray.

please guide me. also when i try to start it from windows folder, nothing happans.

i have uninstalled the previous driver before installing new one, so that can not be an issue.

i dont find any realtek folder in c, but there is one in program files but it does not thing like it.

if i install older sound drivers(which come in cd, 3 yrs ago), they work. but new driver are not working.
