Soundmax Intergrated Digital Audio Drivers

[Guest]

Hi ive recently installed vista beta 2 but i cant find a driver for my
soundmax audio card. I have tried running the update driver in device manager
and it finds suitable software but says that it cannot find the specified
file to install it. i am using a foxconn motherboard and would appreciate any
help on the subject.
Cheers
Matt

the board maker should have the drivers in its support and downloads section

Thanks for the responce but i tried looking on their site but i cant seem to
find the appropriate driver the ones i have tried do not work and it says
they are not supported by this operating system. i have heard that the
drivers will be available when the next big update RC1 becomes available but
i would like to have one sooner than that.

i ran the soundmax drivers untill it said it doesnt work with this version
of windows.
then went into program files, and copied the extracted drivers to another
location, then installed them via the device manager update driver option.

these seem to work fine for me

OK - I tried the above - ran the setup.exe that Alienware provided - rebooted
and everything worked.

HOWEVER - I would recommend entering msconfig and turning off the Soundmax
systray app - it seems to have been causing some odd issues in which my IE,
Outlook 2007 or the system would lock up requiring reboot - and audio would
die somewhere in the middle.

Since I've deactivated the Soundmax app at boot I've had fewer issues with
audio.
