Problems with ADI AD1888 Sound

December 24, 2007

This solution is for AD1888 Audio Chipsets with Windows Vista x64 Only

==============================================

I have been searching for some time for a driver for the ADI AD1888 Onboard

Soundmax surround sound card on my ASUS K8V-MX Motherboard.

After a great deal of time trying to fix the problem of sound being erratic

crackling excessive echo etc. reading a number of reviews of the motherboard

stating that the onboard sound was AC-97 Compatible, I had the idea of

trying an AC-97 Driver package for Windows Vista x64 (64bit)

at 1st I thought that it did not work as I heard nothing from the speakers,

but I had the Audio icon in the taskbar stating :-

Volume : 60

Speakers

Realtec AC-97 Audio for Via ® Audio Controller

I switched the Speaker plug to the Line out and hey presto! I now have

decent sound but not surround support.

If you have a similar problem with Vista64

you can obtain the driver package at
