Yes, it is called Vinyl 97 . It is downloadable on the Via site or possibly
your motherboard web site. JJ "saturnin02" saturnin02_at_hotmail.com wrote in message ...

I'm sure you mean well, but you're not going to get good answers this way. There are a few places you can look for updates to your audio: 1) If you have an OEM machine (Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.) look on their website for downloads for your particular computer model. 2) If this is a home-built or generic computer and you know your motherboard mftr., you can look on their site. 3) Google for "Via AC '97 Audio drivers" and get about 223,000 links.

JJ, Tx for your reply.
Can I get the link for this? There are several products that seem to fall within the Vinyl definition and I just don't know which is the right product.

This is what I installed:
"This readme file is to provide the information for installing and uninstalling "Vinyl AC'97 Audio Controller (WDM)" drivers.

It does not have a lot of fancy features and its tray icon feature disables XP's "hide inactive icons" toolbar feature.... Is there an alternative from Via--more effects or is this it?
