    that is worse than centos and HDA audio!

    I’ve got XPSP3 and sound seems to work on my intel board with HD Audio (after installing all the drivers on the motherboard CD).

    btw: You can “slipstream” the AHCI drivers using http://www.nliteos.com/. But I believe the AHCI drivers are motherboard specific, so you may still not have a “universal” AHCI XP installer.
