[A7V8X-X] corrupt sound drivers file AD1980_3538.zip

[Stanley Krute]

Hi

Out on the downloads site for this board, at

xxx

.... I found several entries for a SoundMax set
of upgrade drivers, packaged in a zip file
named AD1980_3538.zip

I tried downloading several times, from several
locations (World/US/Europe/China). In almost
every case, I got the full file. But in EACH of
those cases, both WinZip 8.1 and the un-zipping
abilities built-into Win XP told me that there were
problems with some of the files in the zip file.

Have others experienced this ?

Any pointers to a known-not-corrupt zip ?

Thanks.

Whoops, forgot to paste the download URL into
that xxx placeholder. It's

http://www.asus.com/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=A7V8X-X

I looked for other sources of the same file.

I found one at

http://ftp.cis.nctu.edu.tw/data/pub3/Vendors/ASUS/misc/audio/adi/

That file, alas, is also corrupt.

So it seems like Asus messed up.

Anyone got a non-corrupt happy-to-unzip
version of this file ?

Thanks

Yes they are corrupt and ASUS needs to fix the problem. Have you tried
anything from the Soundmax site? http://www.soundmax.com/

Hi Cybrow


Thanks for the confirmation.


Unfortunately, Soundmax just points to manufacturers for
drivers, as seen here:

http://forms.analog.com/Form_Pages/soundMAX/soundMAXtechSupport.html

Is there any email address at Asus that I can use to report
this problem, and get a fix ? Somehow I have the inkling
they're non-responsive in such cases, but hopefully I'm
wrong.

Thanks again.

Try the the Dell drivers for the Optiplex GX260 line.. These are also
soundmax. May or may not work
