Successful Comp setup!!! just one or two problems (Soyo Dragon+ mobo)

Ok, I just finished putting together my comp
Specs: AMD athalon xp 1800+, Soyo Dragon+, maxtor 60gb hd, Pioneer 16x DVD, Lite-On 32x CD-RW, Teach Floppy, and of course a black antec case. Now everything Is set up minus the speakers cuz I didn't buy any now, but I don't know how to install the on-board sound. I know it has on board, but I don't know how to install the drivers. the manual says go to multimedia in the controll panel and install it, but it doesn't give me that option. I have Windows 2000 pro. Can someone help me.

In the control panel go to ADD/REMOVE HARDWARE and let it detect it.

I just did it, but it has a little yellow mark next to the audio devices.

It says it does not have drivers, I put search, but I don't know where to search because drivers didn't come with it.

I forget if the Driver disk that came with the dragon has the drivers in an executable program or if they are out in the open.
1. Highlight the yellow tagged entry and then click on properties. When that window opens click on reinstall drivers and insert your motherboard disk. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
2. If the drivers are in an executable file, runn the setup program for the motherboard disk and select the Audio drivers, and follow the onscreen instructions.
