Acer AOD250 sound in XP

I've installed XP SP3, installed all the drivers, and everything works fine, except for the audio. No matter what version of the Realtek HDA driver I install, my sound is messed up. It works, but it's almost as if there's not enough speed on the system to properly output the sound. Whenever the system is trying to play sound, it sounds like it's at a slower speed. I don't know how to properly describe it. Are there any other drivers for the D250 out there besides the Realtek HDA drivers? Sound is one of the components I need for this system. The second partition is running Xubuntu, and the sound works perfectly out-of-the-box. I wish XP was less frustrating.

 

this has been bought up many times before, quick search should have found the answer for you.

anyway, check post 2 here

Tried it already. Doesn't fix it. Kinda sucks.

I wish Netflix would just make their DRM work with Moonlight, then I could get rid of XP completely.
