NVidia Audio Driver How-To ???

medeni73 · June 14th, 2005, 05:50 PM

Hi to all
Recently I have read on this site article "Realtek Audio Driver Vs. nVidia Audio Driver" and I wanted to switch from my REaltek drivers to NVidia Audio drivers (I have ALC 850 on my MSI K8T 2 motherboard(VIA))
In text author says:

Quote:

The latest nVidia driver in their website is the v4.57 which doesnt include an installer and control panel.

...

Quote:

The only way to obtain the v4.62 is from the latest leaked nForce drivers.

Now my questions are following:
1. How and where can I download Control Panel and NVmixer or whatever more I need beside "naked" drivers ?
2. How can I install just audio drivers 4.62 from NForce drivers cos I cant install complete package while I dont have NForce-based motherboard?

I hope this is right section on forum for my questions and thanx in advance !!!

Run the installer and it will extract the files. now install it through the device manager.

"Both Realtek and nVidia provide different drivers for the ALC products."

So I have ALC650, should it be possible for me to install the nVidia driver?
As for now if I try to install the drivers manually, device manager doesn't quite agree with me that there is actually any info in the .inf conserning my audio card

Thx in advance

Well it seems nVidia driver doesnt support all the ALCxxx series. I will try to do something about it... hopefully today.

Update:
Ok guys I have it, please contact me via MSN/ICQ/Yahoo! (check my profile for #).

Do you have Realtek ALC but without the nForce chipset ?

nope, MSI K8N Neo Platinum (nForce 3 250GB), onboard ALC850 and i also have a
SBLive 5.1!. Whats the best compromise in quality and performance in the following choices.
1. SBLive 5.1 with creative drivers.
2. SBLive 5.1 with NGO drivers.
3. ALC850 with nVidia Drivers.
4. ALC850 with Realtek Drivers.
