Didn't they made a universal driver for SP3?

Doubt it and I don't even think it's possible…

I'm not sure I understand the point of AC97 & HDAudio (please explain!) when you need codec-specific drivers anyway, but even when you do have them (and some OSes go a long way here), you still get the fun of "pins", ie the mapping of physical I/O channels on the codec chip to "front headphone socket, light green" and the like - for which there generally are defaults but if every mobo manufacturer cared… 😁 🙁
