New Nforce audio drivers?

I noticed that nvidia have done a special release of just their audio drivers, has anyone tried these on the neo2, does it solve problems as they say it does?

there are no READMEs or instructions telling you how to install it.
very strange.. probably a reaction to pressure from the half life 2 people..
you can tell it has been done in a hurry because the "installation hints" tell you to uninstall your DISPLAY driver first  hehe.
I guess it will give a similar benefits to that Bas described earlier when he did the same thing manually.

No, this is a new service.  The service that you are referring too is called "IMAPI CD-Burning Com Service".  That service is required (though it can stay in manual) and is part of XP and came from Microsoft.
However, after installing the new Nvidia audio driver, a new service was added, called "Imapi Helper".  This service is not part of XP, and did not exist on my system prior to installing this nvidia audio driver (I keep very close tabs on services and the like that run on my system, and this one was not there yesterday).
Furthermore, if you go into MSconfig Services tab, and choose to hide all microsoft services, this service does not get hidden.  It's not a Microsoft service, it was added by the Nvidia driver.

  • 2869 nForce Audio Drivers on WindowsUpdate

    Hello.
    I didn't see anyone else post this, so I thought I would.
    No idea what the changes are...
    Good luck!

    The reason why i stick the 5.10.2849 audio drivers (inside the MSI 2.29 chipset drivers) and still not yet updated is that  i get the strongest rear channels output (even louder than the front). On the other hand all windows update nForce audio drivers as i noticed have a rather low rear channels volume.
    I would appreciate if someone who tried out this new  driver can give me a feedback about the rear channels volume.
    I am using the MSI Audio CNR card and the Logitech Z-540 Analog 4.1 speakers
    Thanks

    I installed the MSI Drivers from the MSI cd. All ok but the clock and info tabs were missing. I upgraded the driver from msi site to 3000 and no tabs.

    Before the GF4 i had a gf2 and i realized i forgot to uninstall the nvidia drivers before installing the new card's drivers. I uninstalled them and reinstalled the msi driver 3000. But no clock nor info tabs.
    Can someone help me? Are those tabs needed?
    I'm using xp pro, intel p4 1.8 on motherboard intel d850md, 1gb ram.
    Also the 3d turbo experience gives me msivga.ocx initialization error.

  • Alc850 & nforce audio drivers/control panel

    Hi,
    REALTEK ACL850 works fine with nforce ac97 drivers & control panel except one thing: i'm unable to have microphone working ?
    An idea ?
    thanks,
    alex

    Hello Mouse: 
    Ah, OK, now I understand what you mean, thanks for posting that picture.
    If I recall correctly my previous ThinkPad (T42p) had something like that - it is sort of like an extra sound control panel that is provided by the hardware vendor that supplies the sound parts inside the laptop.
    I am going to hazard a guess here (I emphasize a guess) that perhaps Microsoft has added sufficient control for different sound features into the new W7 OS that the hardware vendors no longer need to provide a third party control panel to let you take advantage of all the things that the sound hardware can do.
    FYI, I never saw any kind of hardware-vendor-unique sound control panel on the Vista version of my current computer, even when it first arrived from Lenovo with the factory load on the hard drive.
    So - although you don't have it any more, it might turn out that you are actually not missing anything.  We may need to wait and see how this plays out.
    Michael
    W520 (4270 CTO), which replaced a W500 (4062-27U), which replaced a T42P, which replaced an A21P...

  • New M-Audio drivers

    Just got my M-Pulse email from M-Audio and they have some new drivers for some of their Firewire products to work with 10.5.2 http://www.m-audio.com/news/en_us-1267.html
    Of course let's how they work with 10.5.3.

    With important external hardware you must look before you leap with new computers or OS upgrades. This is the first time I've had an issue going to either with my M-Audio, so I don't blame them for taking a month + 1 week to release an update for a new computer.
    For example: When I have a chance I'll update the driver and test my M-Audio devices. If working, then I'll clone over my install to a firewire HD then install 10.4.8. Test the M-Audio devices again, then if it fails to work I'll go back to 10.4.7 via my clone and wait for a 10.4.8 driver.

    nvasio.dll, nvopenal.dll and openal.dll look pretty interesting. Funny enough those files are NOT being installed with the supplied installer / .inf..
    Any1 into this ? Are we getting native ASIO and OpenAL support ? More features, more bugs ?
    regards,
    Andy XS

    I've been asking for working OpenAL drivers ever since the 1.13's came out. The DLL's are included, but as you noticed they aren't installed with the install routine.  :O
    Manual installation doesn't work either.  X(
    I would like to get them working since I play UT 2003 and OpenAL is the native audio codec in this game. It might also alleviate the BKSODs in some DX games.

  • New Official v6.66 nForce 4 Drivers

    New official chipset drivers for Nforce 4 AMD boards have been released:
    here
    Best Regards,
    Markoul

    Quote from: sp00f3r on 18-July-05, 00:16:39
    Will these devilish drivers also work on nForce 3 chipsets? Or has nVidia totally given up "older" chipsets... 
    Yes they will but I can't vouch for any incompatibility or stability issues as I have only been running them since last night.
    You can install them 2 ways.
    Either use Device Manager and manually update the drivers for each device or uninstall the NVIDIA driver pack using Add/Remove programs and run the v6.66 Set Up.
    If you use the first method (manual), you won't be able to update the Serial ATA Controllers so you will have to uninstall the NVIDIA IDE drivers only using Add/Remove programs and then run the v6.66 Set Up and select IDE only.
    Note that the NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management driver is the same version from the 5.10 driver pack so there is no need to update it.
    Also, note that the GART driver is only present in the v5.10 driver pack so if you choose to uninstal all the drivers, you will need to run the v5.10 Set Up to reinstall GART.
    Lastly, after updating the IDE drivers, there is no longer an entry for IDE in the Add/Remove programs. Not sure why this is but it's not really an issue.
    Essentially, the only drivers you can update to v6.66 are the Audio, Ethernet and IDE drivers.
    I have tried both methods and they work equally as well.
    My driver versions are now:
    NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio
    NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Codec Interface
    13/04/2005, 6.14.0462.0
    NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management
    27/07/2004, 4.4.5.0
    NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
    06/04/2005, 4.8.2.0
    NVIDIA nForce3 250 Parallel ATA Controller
    NVIDIA nForce3 250 Serial ATA Controller
    17/05/2005, 5.10.2600.0534
    NVIDIA nForce3 250 AGP Host To PCI Bridge
    02/04/2004, 4.3.6.0

  • Installing new Nforce drivers?

    I'm running the lastest Nforce driver pak from MSI on my K7N420. When the new Nforce drivers from Nvidia come out (Soon I hope) should I be able to install them over the MSI Nforce drivers I'm running now? If not, could someone please tell me an easy way to uninstall old Nforce drivers, MSI or Nvidia.
    Thanks
    Dennis

    Thanks for the reply. One more quick queston. I'm running an Gf4 add in card so removing the Nvidia display drivers in Add/Remove does the video drivers, I know this one. What listing in Add/Remove removes the Nforce drivers?
    Thanks

    nForce driver set v5.1 did not make any visible harm to my Mega180.
    The strange thing though is that VGA driver version did not change after the installation, and I am now 3 levels behind from what MSI offers via Live Update...

  • K8N Neo Platinum with Nvidia Unified Audio Drivers

    Hi, I have two hard drives in my PC. I'm testing out the feasibility of me running X64 at the moment. I have newly installed X64 Windows XP on one new 2nd drive and used  5-5_xp64_dd_cp.exe for my ATI 9800 pro card with no problems. Then I have installed the nForce_6.25_WinXP64_international.exe audio drivers for my on board Realtek AC97 because i have heard they are better than the Realtek drivers themselves and the Nvmixer utility looks good. Ok, no problems.
    I was so impressed with the X64 Nvidia drivers that I have decided in the meantime to replace the Realtek drivers with Nvidia ones on my 1st drive that has already got Windows XP Pro installed on it. So I uninstalled the Realtek and replaced them with these nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_english.exe unified audio drivers.
    But, for some reason, they dont work. As I understand, the Nforce 5.10 are unified drivers and should replace the original Realtek ones i had installed on my 1st drive. I see no speaker icon on my taskbar and when i click to open nvmixer on my programs list, a message appears stating it cannot open as there is no nvidia compatible sound hardware present in my machine. I already know this is not the case as the X64 Nvidia drivers work for my X64 installation on the 2nd drive.
    Any ideas what i am doing wrong? 

    The sound quality on those compared to the 4.57 standalone nvidia (that has its own version of the realtek AC97 codec and updated interface drivers)  is not as good. Theres a long thread on here if you search for it for peoples opinions.
