Realtek AC'97 Drivers v3.85 WHQL Released (*Update: 3/31*)

Post by Illuminati »

There is a driver update for the ever-popular AC'97 onboard sound chip that so many motherboard manufacturers have been using.

Check it out if you have an ALC sound chip!
This driver supports all ALC series audio chipsets from ALC101 up to ALC861. It is used as onboard sound on many motherboards. Chips covered include ALC101/201/202/203/250/650/653/655/658/861

Updated this thread to inform everyone that v1.85 of the Realtek AC'97 driver has been released less than a month after v1.84.

Grab the updated driver if you wish!

It seems that ALC850 was supported since A3.50 :)
So give the new drivers a shot!

A3.50 -
1. Support ALC850.
2. Add some customized settings.
3. Use "Wave PCI" architecture for ATI chipset.
4. Improve Jack Sensing algorithm to eliminate noise.
5. Show "Real-Time SPDIF-in Monitor" node for nVidia chipset
6. Remove ICH2/ICH3/ATi chipsets IDs.

I'm not really into audio drivers so I wouldn't know how to answer your question. (What's SPDIF anyway? lol see?) I hope someone else comes along and helps you. :)

Have you tried a search on Google?
