I only get an icon in device manager which tells me that the driver is not functional or thehardware isnīt present.. I have done this hundered times now, and need some new thoughts Anyone ? i donīt have the ordinary Powercord due to that we donīt have 110v here in Sweden. iīm running it on 19V and it takes about 1.45A.. 09-17-2003 07:30:08

RE:Audio Drivers v5 (modified 0 times) *SF* Profile Been along time, & many versions of Windows & I-Openers. But I remember in 1 combination, I had to stick with the Default Win Driver. as I remember My only luck was a Clean install of Windows. also, Different websites have different recommendations about weather(sp) the 4in1 drivers are needed with different Versions of Windows ? My thought, Try it before You upgrade it. Good Luck, * StarFish * 09-17-2003 16:19:25

RE:Audio Drivers v5 (modified 0 times) oldman Profile | Email Major_C: What operating system are you using? If you are using Windows 95 or 98, the newest version of the VIA 4-in-1 is not as good as an older version. The VIA sound driver 68usr108.exe from the year 2000 is the one I use for version 5 i-opener that does NOT have the Yamaha sound chip. If you e-mail your e-mail address to me, I'll e-mail it to you as an attachment. My e-mail address is in my profile. Have fun, oldman 09-17-2003 20:36:28

RE:Audio Drivers v5 (modified 0 times) Major_C Profile Hi Oldman.. Iīm running Win98se and i have tried the driver you suggest... Itīs not working... Iīm thinking about installing XP instead... think it will run ok... Itīs a AMD K6-3 400 Mhz onboard and 128 MB,,( is more RAM supported ?) Is it copying to disk and start installing the best way to do it ? //Regards Major 09-17-2003 23:40:07

RE:Audio Drivers v5 (modified 0 times) Wild_Pencil Profile | Email Um... "Onboard Sound" is enabled in the BIOS, right? 09-18-2003 17:01:57

RE:Audio Drivers v5 (modified 0 times) oldman Profile | Email Wild_Pencil: I searched through the bios setup on an i-o and could not find a setting for on board sound. Major_C: I try to run the version of dos or windows that was available when a computer or main board was made. Often there are no new drivers for old hardware that run on the new operating system. My i-o's run win95B. I did setup an i-o for someone with Win98. I did have trouble getting windows to recognize the VIA sound driver and not the windows driver. It was much work and I needed to start over and reinstall windows to get it to operate. Once windows installs a driver, it can often be difficult to change to a different driver. I always put each program or driver in its own directory (folder), not the Program Files folder. The only programs I let install into the Program Files folder are the programs that are installed for and by the windows operating system. I even put all the files for installing windows in their own folder. I set up the hard drive to boot to a command 'C:\' prompt, change (CD) to the folder that has the windows installation files and setup windows from there. example: c:\CD win98 then c:\win98 setup. This way, if I ever want to reinstal windows, I only need to remove the c:\windows , c:\Program Files , and c:\ root directory except the three startup files. Usually, each folder for a program gets the setup files for that program. example: c:\winzip has the installation program for WinZip and all WinZip files. Each program must still be installed again if I reinstall windows, but all the files are on the hard disk. Unless you have a very small hard disk, this should not be a problem. I hope this helps you. Keep having fun, oldman 09-18-2003 21:45:18

RE:Audio Drivers v5 (modified 0 times) Major_C Profile http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=328 ComboAudio v3.90a made it working excellent.. Try this if no other is working 01-05-2004 07:32:28

RE:Audio Drivers v5 (modified 0 times) BadFlash Profile | Email Check to be sure your IDE channel is set up to just handle one channel. The default is for both in the driver. This uses up the resources needed to run the audio. Click it to a single channel and reboot. 01-09-2004 12:36:40
