  • Add the following line between the others:
    %*WDM_VIAudio.DeviceDesc%=WDM_VIAudio, PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3059&SUBSYS_810D1043
  • Save, point the driver installation from Device Manager to this folder

    Thats so much for the driver and instructions. Been looking for a working Windows 7 Sound driver for my K8V-MX all day. After failing to install the correct one i was just about to give me on the assumption perhaps there wasn’t a driver that worked until i came upon this one. So Cheers!!

  37. June 16th, 2012 at 08:07 | #37

    It works, but using the microphone jack.

    If you want to use normal speaker output jack (and keep mic input?), download:

    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=13365
    SoundMax AD1888 AC97 driver for Intel boards v5.12.01.5500
    Windows XP x32 x64, Vista x32 x64

    Extract the file (with WinRAR or some other tool).

    Find [b]smwdmSIS.inf[/b] in either Vista32 or Vista64 folder (for Windows7 x32 or x64).

    modify:
    %*WDM_AC97AUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_ASUS, pci\ven_1039&dev_7012&subsys_80F31043
    to:
    %*WDM_AC97AUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_ASUS, pci\ven_1106&dev_3059&subsys_810D1043

    and add this device to the [b]platform.cfg[/b] file at the bottom under VIA (it’s in one of the subdirs)

    ; VIA platforms
    [11063059-53681071]
    [11063059-810D1043]

    Didn’t work for me. The speaker icon showed as installed but then I keep getting the “Blue Screen of Death” and it shuts down. Don’t even have time to do a thing.
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling after a system restore and the same thing….dam
