Paul Edwards asked:

| I'd like to ask a more fundamental question - why does
| video not require a driver to be installed, but audio does?
| Is audio more complicated than video or something? Or
| was it never properly standardized by IBM or someone?
|
  I think it is because the PC always had video, 
 (there may be some special machines that donĀ“t) 
  so there are video functions built in the BIOS,
  while audio cards were always add-ons.  

| Next question is - what does emm have to do with a
| sound card driver?
  EMM has everything to do with memory management,
  which is probably required by the audio card.
