New nforce drivers ide and audio

Nvidia has released version 1.08.5 of its System Utility on 31 March 2004 and can be downloaded here:- http://www.nvidia.com/object/sysutility_1.08.5.html
Windows XP/2K Audio driver package 4.31 can also be downloaded here:- http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_audio_4.31_win2KXP
and Windows XP/2K IDE driver package version 4.12 can be downloaded here:- http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce...15_win2KXP.html

Concerning the IDE driver. Same as all the other versions Nvidia has released for me. Complete junk. Also, it appears they removed the file. The links to it are dead or redirected to the 4.12's...which are also junk.
1. Breaks my Sound Card. System hangs on audio driver install then will no longer boot, except to Safe Mode to remove the driver, due to nForce gameport incompatibility. Standard IDE does not hang, then Gameport can just be disabled (since the nForce2 chip breaks it anyway).
2. Breaks Easy Recovery Pro (data recovery software) and who knows what else. When it attempts to scan the drives, it fails with a Windows error. Standard IDE driver works fine.
3. SiSoft Sandra reports slower speeds than standard IDE driver.

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
Dennis

Alcahol 120 percent and new nforce drivers

http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34891
latest version told me with new nvidia drivers i had no burner
so im using an older one
well this seems to be the fix
Making it work with the updated IDE drivers is easy, in options change the 'Device Control Interface' from default to the other one. Restart Alcohol 120% and all your devices should be listed.
might save some one a headache

MEGA 180 Users - new nForce drivers available!

version 5.10 of the nForce drivers are available from nvidia
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
the audio drivers have had a "fix" it would seem

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...

New Nforce drivers 5.1

These are the new official Nforce drivers (5.1):

So the answer is that it's newer compared to MSI 5.01 pack and Nvidia 4.27 pack.
Agp/gart version 3.77 in MSI 5.01 driverpack and in nvidia's 4.27 driverpack .
And agp/gart version 4.36 in nvidia's 5.10 driverpack .
Basically there is nothing new in the Gart department that has not already been out, none of the above solve the punkbuster freezing problem with the K8N Neo Plat. mobo. Neither does the following Gart below which is newer then all of the above:

I installed them, and for the very first time the sound panel is fully functional! All sliders are working, and also the localization is fine. No idea if the drivers fixes any bugs, but until now they are the best ones for me. Good 2 see that nVIDIA is working on driver support.
Greetings from germany,
JePe

New nForce drivers next week!

According to a German source (with an interview with nVidia), new drivers are supposed to be released next week.
A knowledgeable individual @ NForcer's HQ, who claims to have some inside info on this, says that we will be very pleased with the update(s).
I predict that it's true on both counts. nVidia is in too precarious of a position to let their current client base down if it wants to stay ahead of the competition and stay ahead of AMD MB rivals as they maintain their dominant chipset share.

Well, of course... just like the 2.42 set was going to cure everyone's ills. I sense an opportunity for another round of complaints ... just kidding... you can always hope.

New nForce drivers - 1.13!

D'oh, thought I was the first to post on them. Guess not. Better scroll down further next time...

Yes, I have the tethering plan. I was connected with USB and Bluetooth when I had the 3G.
I am can now connect with USB, I recieved a new not seen before window when I plugged in the phone with the Network window open that allowed me to click on apply an connect.

A quick primer on audio drivers, devices, and latency

This information has come from Durin, Adobe staffer:
Hi everyone,
A common question that comes up in these forums over and over has to do with recording latency, audio drivers, and device formats. I'm going to provide a brief overview of the different types of devices, how they interface with the computer and Audition, and steps to maximize performance and minimize the latency inherent in computer audio.
First, a few definitions:
Monitoring: listening to existing audio while simultaneously recording new audio.
Sample: The value of each individual bit of audio digitized by the audio device. Typically, the audio device measures the incoming signal 44,100 or 48,000 times every second.
Buffer Size: The "bucket" where samples are placed before being passed to the destination. An audio application will collect a buffers-worth of samples before feeding it to the audio device for playback. An audio device will collect a buffers-worth of samples before feeding it to the audio device when recording. Buffers are typically measured in Samples (command values being 64, 128, 512, 1024, 2048...) or milliseconds which is simply a calculation based on the device sample rate and buffer size.
Latency: The time span that occurs between providing an input signal into an audio device (through a microphone, keyboard, guitar input, etc) and when each buffers-worth of that signal is provided to the audio application. It also refers to the other direction, where the output audio signal is sent from the audio application to the audio device for playback. When recording while monitoring, the overall perceived latency can often be double the device buffer size.
ASIO, MME, CoreAudio: These are audio driver models, which simply specify the manner in which an audio application and audio device communicate. Apple Mac systems use CoreAudio almost exclusively which provides for low buffer sizes and the ability to mix and match different devices (called an Aggregate Device.) MME and ASIO are mostly Windows-exclusive driver models, and provide different methods of communicating between application and device. MME drivers allow the operating system itself to act as a go-between and are generally slower as they rely upon higher buffer sizes and have to pass through multiple processes on the computer before being sent to the audio device. ASIO drivers provide an audio application direct communication with the hardware, bypassing the operating system. This allows for much lower latency while being limited in an applications ability to access multiple devices simultaneously, or share a device channel with another application.
Dropouts: Missing audio data as a result of being unable to process an audio stream fast enough to keep up with the buffer size. Generally, dropouts occur when an audio application cannot process effects and mix tracks together quickly enough to fill the device buffer, or when the audio device is trying to send audio data to the application more quickly than it can handle it. (Remember when Lucy and Ethel were working at the chocolate factory and the machine sped up to the point where they were dropping chocolates all over the place? Pretend the chocolates were samples, Lucy and Ethel were the audio application, and the chocolate machine is the audio device/driver, and you'll have a pretty good visualization of how this works.)
Typically, latency is not a problem if you're simply playing back existing audio (you might experience a very slight delay between pressing PLAY and when audio is heard through your speakers) or recording to disk without monitoring existing audio tracks since precise timing is not crucial in these conditions. However, when trying to play along with a drum track, or sing a harmony to an existing track, or overdub narration to a video, latency becomes a factor since our ears are far more sensitive to timing issues than our other senses.   If a bass guitar track is not precisely aligned with the drums, it quickly sounds sloppy. Therefore, we need to attempt to reduce latency as much as possible for these situations. If we simply set our Buffer Size parameter as low as it will go, we're likely to experience dropouts - especially if we have some tracks configured with audio effects which require additional processing and contribute their own latency to the chain. Dropouts are annoying but not destructive during playback, but if dropouts occur on the recording stream, it means you're losing data and your recording will never sound right - the data is simply lost.   Obviously, this is not good.
Latency under 40ms is generally considered within the range of reasonable for recording. Some folks can hear even this and it affects their ability to play, but most people find this unnoticeable or tolerable. We can calculate our approximate desired buffer size with this formula:
(Sample per second / 1000) * Desired Latency
So, if we are recording at 44,100 Hz and we are aiming for 20ms latency:   44100 / 1000 * 20 = 882 samples. Most audio devices do not allow arbitrary buffer sizes but offer an array of choices, so we would select the closest option. The device I'm using right now offers 512 and 1024 samples as the closest available buffer sizes, so I would select 512 first and see how this performs. If my session has a lot of tracks and/or several effects, I might need to bump this up to 1024 if I experience dropouts.
Now that we hopefully have a pretty firm understanding of what constitutes latency and under what circumstances it is undesirable, let's take a look at how we can reduce it for our needs. You may find that you continue to experience dropouts at a buffer size of 1024 but that raising it to larger options introduces too much latency for your needs. So we need to determine what we can do to reduce our overhead in order to have quality playback and recording at this buffer size.
Effects: A common cause of playback latency is the use of effects. As your audio stream passes through an effect, it takes time for the computer to perform the calculations to modify that signal. Each effect in a chain introduces its own amount of latency before the chunk of audio even reaches the point where the audio application passes it to the audio device and starts to fill up the buffer. Audition and other DAWs attempt to address this through "latency compensation" routines which introduce a bit more latency when you first press play as they process several seconds of audio ahead of time before beginning to stream those chunks to the audio driver. In some cases, however, the effects may be so intensive that the CPU simply isn't processing the math fast enough.   With Audition, you can "freeze" or pre-render these tracks by clicking the small lightning bolt button visible in the Effects Rack with that track selected. This performs a background render of that track, which automatically updates if you make any changes to the track or effect parameters, so that instead of calculating all those changes on-the-fly, it simply needs to stream back a plain old audio file which requires much fewer system resources. You may also choose to disable certain effects, or temporarily replace them with alternatives which may not sound exactly like what you want for your final mix, but which adequately simulate the desired effect for the purpose of recording.   (You might replace the CPU-intensive Full Reverb effect with the lightweight Studio Reverb effect, for example. Full Reverb effect is mathematically far more accurate and realistic, but Studio Reverb can provide that quick "body" you might want when monitoring vocals, for example.) You can also just disable the effects for a track or clip while recording, and turn them on later.
Device and Driver Options: Different devices may have wildly different performance at the same buffer size and with the same session. Audio devices designed primarily for gaming are less likely to perform well at low buffer sizes as those designed for music production, for example. Even if the hardware performs the same, the driver mode may be a source of latency. ASIO is almost always faster than MME, though many device manufacturers do not supply an ASIO driver. The use of third-party, device-agnostic drivers, such as ASIO4ALL (www.asio4all.com) allow you to wrap an MME-only device inside a faux-ASIO shell. The audio application believes it's speaking to an ASIO driver, and ASIO4ALL has been streamlined to work more quickly with the MME device, or even to allow you to use different inputs and outputs on separate devices which ASIO would otherwise prevent.
We also now see more USB microphone devices which are input-only audio devices that generally use a generic Windows driver and, with a few exceptions, rarely offer native ASIO support. USB microphones generally require a higher buffer size as they are primarily designed for recording in cases where monitoring is unimportant. When attempting to record via a USB microphone and monitor via a separate audio device, you're more likely to run into issues where the two devices are not synchronized or drift apart after some time. (The ugly secret of many device manufacturers is that they rarely operate at EXACTLY the sample rate specified. The difference between 44,100 and 44,118 Hz is negligible when listening to audio, but when trying to precisely synchronize to a track recorded AT 44,100, the difference adds up over time and what sounded in sync for the first minute will be wildly off-beat several minutes later.) You are almost always going to have better sync and performance with a standard microphone connected to the same device you're using for playback, and for serious recording, this is the best practice. If USB microphones are your only option, then I would recommend making certain you purchase a high-quality one and have an equally high-quality playback device. Attempt to match the buffer sizes and sample rates as closely as possible, and consider using a higher buffer size and correcting the latency post-recording. (One method of doing this is to have a click or clap at the beginning of your session and make sure this is recorded by your USB microphone. After you finish your recording, you can visually line up the click in the recorded track with the click in the original track by moving your clip backwards in the timeline. This is not the most efficient method, but this alignment is the reason you see the clapboards in behind-the-scenes filmmaking footage.)
Other Hardware: Other hardware in your computer plays a role in the ability to feed or store audio data quickly. CPUs are so fast, and with multiple cores, capable of spreading the load so often the bottleneck for good performance - especially at high sample rates - tends to be your hard drive or storage media. It is highly recommended that you configure your temporary files location, and session/recording location, to a physical drive that is NOT the same as you have your operating system installed. Audition and other DAWs have absolutely no control over what Windows or OS X may decide to do at any given time and if your antivirus software or system file indexer decides it's time to start churning away at your hard drive at the same time that you're recording your magnum opus, you raise the likelihood of losing some of that performance. (In fact, it's a good idea to disable all non-essential applications and internet connections while recording to reduce the likelihood of external interference.) If you're going to be recording multiple tracks at once, it's a good idea to purchase the fastest hard drive your budget allows. Most cheap drives spin around 5400 rpm, which is fine for general use cases but does not allow for the fast read, write, and seek operations the drive needs to do when recording and playing back from multiple files simultaneously. 7200 RPM drives perform much better, and even faster options are available. While fragmentation is less of a problem on OS X systems, you'll want to frequently defragment your drive on Windows frequently - this process realigns all the blocks of your files so they're grouped together. As you write and delete files, pieces of each tend to get placed in the first location that has room. This ends up creating lots of gaps or splitting files up all over the disk. The act of reading or writing to these spread out areas cause the operation to take significantly longer than it needs to and can contribute to glitches in playback or loss of data when recording.

There is one point in the above that needed a little clarification, relating to USB mics:
_durin_ wrote:

If you are going to spend that much, then you'd be better off putting a little more money into an external device with a proper mic pre, and a little less money by not bothering with a USB mic at all, and just getting a 'normal' condensor mic. It's true to say that over the years, the USB mic class of recording device has caused more trouble than any other, regardless.
You should also be aware that if you find a USB mic offering ASIO support, then unless it's got a headphone socket on it as well then you aren't going to be able to monitor what you record if you use it in its native ASIO mode. This is because your computer can only cope with one ASIO device in the system - that's all the spec allows. What you can do with most ASIO hardware though is share multiple streams (if the device has multiple inputs and outputs) between different software.
Seriously, USB mics are more trouble than they're worth.

Windows 7 Wireless and Audio Drivers on 2010 MacBook Pro

I have a new MacBook Pro i7 2.66 Mhz with Snow Leopard and dual boot to Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate. I can't find the correct drivers (Windows 7 side) to get the audio and the wireless networking operating. I ran the bootcamp setup from the Snow Leopard install disc on Windows 7. It gave an error message that this model is not supported. I then ran each software driver individually from the install disc and was able to get all to work except the audio and wireless. I then installed the Bootcamp 3.2 update from the Internet with no improvement.
Does anybody know where the audio and wireless drivers can be located for Windows 7? (Apple Support has not been able to resolve the problem yet) Thank You!

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7 64-bit Professional. I had to go through the same process to get most of the drivers installed. I've had the same issues with the wireless and audio drivers.
To get the Apple drivers installed, I followed the instructions from this blog post.

Has anyone had any luck with the rest of the drivers?

Problems with Samsung dvd and nforce drivers..

Something funny with my pc.
I just got everythng and insalled Wiin xp. Everything working..
both of my cd rom drives show up
1 lite-on cdr
1 samsung dvd 606f
then I install Nforce driver pack from Nvidia and everything works ... but
with Nforce ide controller idriver installed ....
Only one of my drives is detected.
1 lite-on CDR
no DVD
If i switch it back to windows standard IDE Primary and Secondary drivers it comes back..
Any thoughts.....
specks below

the Nforce drivers tend to be a bit picky about jumper settings ensure that your optiacal drive jumpers are set to master & slave. Nvidia doesnt work to well with cls. Alternatively you can just run wwith the MS ide drivers.

S5503w win7 64bit ethernet and audio drivers

I recently acquired a Pavilion Slimline (s5503w) desktop PC. For whatever reason the hard drive was blanked out when I recieved it and upon installing Windows 7 64-bit (Ultimate Ed) I've had quite some time locating the proper drivers. Attempting to use the recommended drivers from this website resulted in a 9996 error, you don't meet the requirments. Proper recommended installer for that version of windows, but no luck. I've also tried installing the Ethernet and Audio drivers recommended by Nividia's website. A 15.49 package, but though it recognizes the video card it doesn't notice the onboard Ethernet or Audio. Neither of these devices is listed in device manager as far as I can tell either. No typical yellow exclemation mark stating that the driver is missing.
Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly apperciated.

Hi:
I don't think there is anything wrong with the hardware.
I would reinstall W7.
Then right afterward, install that nForce chipset driver first and reboot.
Then the video driver I posted and reboot.
Then the audio driver I posted and reboot.
If you still have issues, try a manual install.
Download the free 7-zip file utility and extract the files you downloaded into folders.
Then click on each device in the device manager that needs the drivers.
Click on the driver tab, click on update driver, select the Browse my computer for software and browse to the folders you extracted for each device.
Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the drivers install that way.
There has to be a way to get these items installed.
If you stil can't get the drivers installed, please post the hardware ID's for each device needing drivers so I can confirm that they are what they are supposed to be according to the product specs for your PC.
If you don't know where to find the hardware ID, please read the info at the link below.
