Hi all,

I'm helping someone in the US at the mo (remotely using Teamviewer).

He's using an ASUS ATI 3450 videocard which supports DVI, HDMI, and VGA.

I've managed to find the right drivers for the sound, for this card (the
drivers are video drivers, and include the HDMI Audio drivers for the HDMI
sound output on this card). In the install

They're fine on this system ( it uses Realtek HD Audio)

And the ati hd audio rear output entry appears under the audio tab (on the
system here).

However, the same drivers dont work on this guys system (Its an Emachine AMD
system).

The ati hd audio rear output entry doesnt want to appear in sounds / audio
tab.

He's uninstalled the ATI drivers a few times (he's tried the ATI 8.10/11
drivers, which dont install/include the HDMI Audio drivers). He used
drivercleaner to remove the rest of these drivers after.

So, any idea, WHY he cant get the HDMI Audio drivers to install (they may
have installed, BUT the entry for it refuses to appear under the Audio
tab), when it appears on mine??

Is it because, his sound is AC97 and not HD Audio, or something??

Any info appreciated. He's using XP Home SP3

Thanx
