Additional Notes

[FCCID=Advance logic coorp] This is the sound chip on the K7S5A.

Realtek removed the file from their website. You do NOT need the generic SIS 7018 audio drivers. Just unzip, and when win xp asks u, point it to unzipped directory. Viola!

"After a successful install, Win XP recognized it but said "driver enabled but not started". I could find no way to start or manipulate the sound volumn controls in Windows XP (home version. Ended up reinstalling Windows"

"Tried this driver for the AC'97 sound chip on a JetWay 3902A658 MoBo - but O/S (W98SE) won't recognise it as a valid driver. Apparently the chip is a SiS 7018 AC'97 Audio driver on a Jetway 830CNR5A MoBo - so I'll try that drvr. next."

"Did not work with my FIC AN17 MB running Win XP 32. Disk (which I lost)that came with MB had this driver and 2 others on it for different chips but this wasn't the right driver for this chip. Doesn't mean it's a bad driver just didn't work for my onboard audio. Think I needed the VIA AC'97."
