Problem Installing XP driver for DS-XG sound device

[longhair_kev]

I have recently installed XP Pro SP1 onto my slightly aging X18, everything is fine (well, I am an IT professional!). However I have a problem with the XP driver for the Yamaha DS-XG sound device, for XP, supplied by Sony for this model - obtained from the support website.

The file name the site directed me to is ACD_Yam_512015244.exe and the problem is that the installing this driver fails with XP complaining that the .inf file has an "invalid service section".

Although a minor problem, the consequence being that I cannot get sound from the port replicator until I can succesfully install this driver, I would appreciate any help in either fixing the .inf file or maybe finding an alternative driver file. Even better, if Sony could fix the problem (hint hint!).

Makes you wonder what Sony are playing at.
Why did they not do this? Not everyone knows how to make those INF files.

Well, with Sony a little knowledge goes a long way...:smileywink:

As CU said assumption is a dangerous thing (well similar)

However, editing the said INF file was purely based on hard fact.
