I've got an asus p4p800 e deluxe mobo, and i've been haiving sound issues so decided to start by updating my drivers.

So, i went into control panel/add remove programmes and removed ac'97 dound drivers. Then rebooted and installed the drivers (self extracting) that i got from here (stating that they dealt with the fuzz im getting which may be an nvidia driver clash) : http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3001-2120_2-10489136.html?idl=y

Then i re-booted again and when the 'found new hardware' thing popped up i aked it to install the software automatically. But, it can't find anything, and seems to be searching for 'multimedia audio controller' as apposed to ac'97 etc. And if i try to 'install from specific location' and point it at the temp folder the driver instals to it simply wont open the folder (in browse) or explore it if i manually type the address path in.

Any idea greatly appreciated, probably something quite noob :P.
 
Hmm, if i run the setup for those ^^ it simply says 'no driver or AP was supported in this driver package'..

I am doomed to no sound.

Though the drivers in the link that was in my OP are a lot newer. I'm just wondering where i was going wrong with the installation.
 
:(, done that and having the same problem.. I run the installer, then restart, then found new hardware wizard pops up, but when i click yes to 'install the software automatically' it just searches for 'multimedia controller' but finds nothing..

What am i doing wrong? :(.
 
Righto, worked :). For some reason the forst driver i tried couldnt be found when i directed the add new hardware bit to it. But alas, still go the awfull fuzz i had in the first place. Time to chuck my delta 10/10 card in me thinks (just a git swapping it over from a mac whenever i'm recording music).

Cheers for the help :).
