Tried that one too, but when I want to install it I get a message that the
driver isn't supported by vista. I then can choose between discontinueing the

popping up like forever, so no way of advancing there.

My audio adapter is a realtek AC'97 onboard an asus P5B deluxe mobo. Drivers
I found at the site of asus don't work either.
