Which driver to use ?

[Tommy Vercetti]

Hi,

I have a VIA Technologies, Inc. P4M266A-8235 Motherboard, with onboard sound. Now the problem is that it's a realtek sound chip(On the chip it shows the realtek logo on the mobo).

The drivers from the VIAarena site as well as drivers from the Realtek site run pretty fine. Anybody has any ideas as to which ones I should be running...

Thanx.

P.S.

The drivers in question are the

VinlyAC97 codec and

RealTek AC97 codec

I use the realtek ones (they seem to get updated more often)

"realtek,via sound sucks." I know, can't help it, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy is very expensive where I live. Will be upgrading to the $49 one. Till then using this one

And yes the Realtek ones are updated frequently on a monthly basis, The via are kind of dead. Had problems with earlier versions of Realtek, the new ones run perfectly with easy access to the equaliser using the system tray icon.
