bad directsound driver

I've got this compaq computer here, and it has a clean install of windows 2000 pro on it, and its working real well, except when i try to play anything with sound. In winamp, i get "Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration"
I've upgraded DirectX to 8, to see if that worked...no dice...then I tried 9...still nothing. Also, tryed downloading some sort of audio drivers from the compaq website, still didnt work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You need to call Compaq Tech Support and get the direct link for the drivers.
