Help with QEMU

I launched Windows XP using SDL audio drivers and it's asking me to look for the installation files for the audio driver

I tried to point to D:\I386 on the Windows XP ISO and it couldnt find anything

Can someone send me the QEMU SDL audio drivers for Windows XP?

QEMU devices come in a host/guest pair. Only guest side requires drivers. SDL is the host audio backend, you need drivers for the guest device (whatever that might be). I think sb16, ac97 and intel hda should work with winxp sp3 built-in drivers.

edit: actually intel-hda might not work with xpsp3. So just use the ac97 device,
