Need sound drivers for Windows XP

Bit poster
I know that Parallels uses the AC'97 sound drivers in Windows but some custom installs don't have the AC'97 drivers. Parallels 4 Tools still doesn't include sound drivers for Windows.
I tried the VIA Vinyl and Realtek AC'97 drivers. Vinyl restarts the VM and Realtek plays garbled sound.
Can someone post the Windows sound drivers for Parallels 4?
Thanks.

Edit: Finally found one that works.
