The process for getting a compatible driver package for the multimedia controller 
under Server '03 is no different from what you would do with the other OSs.....search 
driver websites, find out whose sound chipset is on the mobo (assuming of course 
it's onboard sound), looking at their support pages for drivers, etc.

But that's "square one"-level stuff, so I assume you've done that already.

From a practical perspective, the sound chipset manufacturer may have simply decided 
to not develop Server '03 drivers for that chispet since quite often, server installation 
do not use any sort of sound card.

The other idea I had was based on the fact that Windows Server 2003 SP1 is going 
to be a big "DNA donor" to Windows Vista.  By that I mean Windows Vista's core is 
going to be closely related to Server '03 SP1, so, if you can find Windows Vista 
drivers for that multimedia controller, there's a pretty good chance that those Vista 
drivers might work for your Server '03 installation.
