Default OT-ish: safe online source for Win XP drivers?

Just ebayed myself a second-hand Creative Labs SBO220 soundcard for the
kids' old PC. As expected, it arrived without a driver, and
unfortunately the manufacturer's website - which would be my normal
source - can't help so I'm resorting to Google. Trouble is, this throws
up umpteen sources of the required software on any number of third-party
sites - but how can I verify that these are 'safe' to download? Are
there any sources for drivers which are recognised to be 'OK' (or at
least more 'OK' than others?)

Yes I know, the penance for relying on Micro$oft products...

Thanks
David
