Driver Problem with Via Tech. Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver
I hope somebody else has had this problem. I recently had problems with my Soundblaster Audigy 2 Sound Card, so I was forced to use the integrated sound on my motherboard. Now, its a 5.1 Surround Sound directx 9.0a chip, the Via VT8233A. I first used the s
upplied driver CD from my motherboard(Epox 8k3A+), but the driver on that CD was very old. I went to Via Arena and downloaded the latest driver, the Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver, that was suppose to be Windows XP Compatible, but now I'm not sure. The ori ginal driver from the motherboard CD would cause my computer to crash regularly. Now this new Driver is better, not as many crashs, but I still do get some. These crashs never happen when I'm using the computer, only when the computer has sat, unused for a n extended time. Anybody has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks. |

Nate, I have the same Motherboard. Go here and download the Realtec
Driver and see if that works better. http://www.epox.com/USA/downloads.asp "Nate" wrote in message ... I hope somebody else has had this problem.

Driver Problem with Via Tech. Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver
Thanks for the link to get that driver. After I downloaded it, I still don't get to use the main program called Soundman.exe. I see it in the Windows folder, but when I try to open it, it starts running, but the program doesn't come up. The only way I know
its running is when I open the task manager I can see it there in the list of processes. That program is what lets you control the input and output controls of the sound. If you have any ideas, that would be appreciated. Thanks again. "Rich Barry" wrote: Nate, try here. http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/ac97.html "Nate" wrote in message ...

Nate, the only thing I could think of is to go to C:\Windows\System32
Folder. Scroll down and look for SndVol32.exe. Rt click on it and select Send to Desktop as shortcut. "Nate" wrote in message ... Thanks for the link to get that driver.
