"Top Drawer K.v.d.Wal. Many thanks. Driver works perfectly for onboard AC97 on my GigabyteGA-7ZXE board in XP. Seucceeds in getting rid of scratchy noise in all .wav files. Just a quick note For manual installation, having downloaded the file, got to your command prompt and remane the file from sound.drv to sound.inf, and XP will pick it up. Thanx again."
