"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."
