Realtek website. Drivers question.

Just a quick question really. I've just been on the realtek site to see what the latest audio drivers are as the Asus website hasn't updated them in a long time. When you go to the driver section theres only one driver to download. Am i guessing right that it's a unified driver for all chipsets?

Thx in advance.

Nobody has onboard audio then?

Reason why im thinking of updating is because i can't use h/w audio on BF2. Most of the sound is fine but i get stuttery comms. I'm waiting for the X-Fi XM to drop below £70 before buying one

It's for the ALC850 chipset. I've typed that into google and i get many returns (mainly for 3.52 and 3.54 drivers) but nothing from the realtek site. Any ideas why there's only one driver to download from the official Realtek site?

Edit: Realtek ALC882 HD Audio Codecs 1.34 can't use them

Edit2: Something that's confusing me is the returns show 3.52 and 3.54 (which are dated older that the ones i'm using) the one's im using from Asus.com are labelled 58.70. Why such a drastic change in the way theyre labelled? Damn i'm thinking of forgetting this and buying a X-Fi this afternoon.
