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.
