A7N8X Deluxe compatibility problems with Windows Server 2003

Man, I installed server 2003 and NOTHING is compatible with it! Hardly any drivers! I built this system myself, and I worry about how stable the system will be since it's so new, hardly any drivers are compatible with it.

I barely got my video card to work, but that is fine now so far...
 
As for the integrated audio card on my Motherboard, I don't have drivers for it. The ones on the disk installed fine, and it shows the drives as "working", but everytime I try to play a song or something it says bad directsound device!
 
Anyone know where I can get compatible sound drivers for my motherboard? Thanks! I'm using windows server 2003 enterprise.

I could write it all out for you, but just look here, someone already did the work:

I have the same board. Follow these instructions and things should magically start working. Your biggest problem here is all the services which are turned off by default.
