audio for vista

[flymo]

anyone have any idea where i will be able to get some sound drivers for Vista.
i have onboard sound, but unlike the beta when i installed the full version it didnt do any sound drivers.

Just use an XP sound driver. If you have AC97 I know they have a Vista driver, but before they did, my XP drivers did just fine.

Which version of Vista are you useing? Ever since 5600 (RC1) you have been able to go back and acess your XP stuff. Beta 2 Hated all audio drivers from everyone.

So if your useing RC1 RC2 RTM600 or a actual release copy you should be fine.

im using a release copy.
i went on the ac97 website, downloaded the latest vista driver and it jsut crashes on boot up, it BSOD's and reboots....so when i can be botherd i will have to system restore again in safe mode or uninstall the driver

Hmm thats really weird. My AC97 works just fine, and hasn't crashed once. You may want to uninstall the driver, defragment, and do an error check on your disk. Then reinstall the driver and do the same process. You may have a botched install of Vista which is very possible.

got it working now, i uninstalled it, then let vista find the driver on the cd and install it itself, works fine now
