AC97 driver for xp needed!

[GoBigNick]

Hi,

I'm having the sound problem that a lot of people are having. I need to get the AC97 driver for xp. I tried to install realtek's driver, and it seriously crashed my computer twice. I'm not going to try it again.

When i tried to install the driver, i got a message that said it wasn't certified as compatible with Windows XP.

ANy idea on where i can get a safe compatible driver for XP.


thanks!

NIck

need more information, what make and model of comp, or get Everest (free) http://www.lavalys.com/products/over...?pid=1&lang=en

The realtek AC'97 driver here has never given that problem http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&Software=True

OR get a PCI sound card,disable internal and be happy.

Why disable the onboard card? some people like having 2 cards like me if they do music on their machines

There are way to many posts on this problem.

No fault of their own, but a lot of people format their machines and then complain they have no sound without checking out the essentials.
Cables plugged in right ports? Sound card detected in Device Manager? is it enabled in BIOS?
Any error codes in Device Manager?
If people could give us this information straight away, then they may be able to get an answer straight away.

In the UK we don't get motherboard CDs, we usually get a back up partition which has the drivers pre-loaded, but if not, we do get a drivers CD anyway (Selected models only) I.e. Fujitsu Siemans and Toshibas provide drivers disk.

I think most people on here might have problems with their sound device if the machine is home built, i.e. not manufactured by a
