Sound Driver Install Problem

Bootsiesnail · 03-01-2006, 11:45 AM

I downloaded a Via 686 Codec Sound Driver for a ECS K7VMA. It is a generic driver for all operating systems. After unzipping the file I did not know which files I need as there are so many including many Setup files as well as a few zip? files. All the operating files are in folders and then there are many different kinds of files.Could someone help me with this as I don't know how to determine what files will be required for Win98SE. It has all operating systems listed.Generally I have no problem downloading drivers as it is usually for a specific OS and installing but I can't figure this out.Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Download the VIA686 Codec Sound Driver from here, extract the files to a new folder (make sure you've got the 'use folder names' box checked in WinZip) and run setup.exe. It will install the correct files for your OS.
