This is a custom driver for integrated Analog Devices' ADI sound chips (Types AD1984, AD1986(B-Type only, A-Type works unstable), AD1986(Both A & B)
This driver is a mix of files from different driver packages for this device but it works fine and made specially for Windows Vista - it's not compatible with previous Windows Versions. Mostly files inside was provided by AsusTEK driver packages of different versions so this driver is mostly recommended for Asus motherboards users.
Tested by me in Vista (SP1) with
AD1986B - Fine
AD1986A - rare crashes may occur.
Recommended for Vista use and more preferrable than 6.10.1.6100 official driver.
Note: Use manual installation from device manager.
Note: Front panel works fine.
