working sigmatel audio on windows 7

Unlucky me, despite hearing every where that windows 7 supports all hardware, my sigmatel sound card on intel 945 got stuck,I got all devices as disconnected except for my digital output which was actually disconnected. No worries i installed vista drivers and off it worked, until i upgraded to build 7057. Now the vista driver setup won't work saying windows 7 as incompatible, manually installing drivers didn't work. After searching on millions of sites finally i found these drivers
