"This driver works great. I am running nForce Chipset, AMD Cpu, nVidia Video, and now this Audio Card. These drivers satisfy the multi-outputs flexibility and other features. I recommend this driver if you have these cards. After driver install is complete, reboot computer even if you are not prompted to. *Once rebooted, Re-install "DirectX" if you play games.&quo

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
