"This driver is a piece of cake to install. I used this driver on a HP A7M266-M Standard ATX Motherboard running Windows 2000 Professional. The Crystal audio chip is built into the motherboard. The HP A7M266-M is a good stable fast motherboard. Posted on October 14 2008. Best Always and Thank you Driver Guide!"

"My motherboard is PC DDR333) and Windows XP detected it so. Onboard chip was reported to be Avance. yet when I installed the drivers, it did not recognize the actual model. I assume the error since the options for configuration is only for two-speaker system, instead of the four-speaker one. Anyone knows how to adjust this or a better driver? Thanks"
