Here is the link : http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=69
And here is the direct download : (Windows) http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/audio/ComboAudio_a1u311b.zip

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.
X(
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.
Thanxs.

They are nVIDIA drivers with the added MSI tabs and logos...
But there is no real reson to do it.

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?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_audio_4.57_win2kxp
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.

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.

Hi Wonka,
You forgot to mention this:
VIA audio drivers should not be installed on those systems that utilize third-party audio cards. For third-party audio drivers support please contact your audio card supplier directly.
Also, most MSI boards don't use this as far as I know....

New VIA 4in 1 drivers

I used auto update to download and install the new 4.51 VIA 4in1 drivers and had nothing but issues running them. The system would do a reboot every 30 minutes or so ....I went back to the 4.49 and it all works fine...anyone else have any issues????

Hi Husker_Faithfull
I have been running the 4in1 version 4.51 Pro "BETA" package with no issues.
The alternate site that VIA has listed to get this PRO version is:
http://www.hardtecs4u.com/files/via/ It's a german site or the direct d/l link is:
http://www.3dcht4u.de/ht4u/t13fgendz/via/4in1451Pro.zip
Remember that this version is not MS HQL Certified but others that have installed it that have the same VIA chipsets that we do ...are reporting that it improved game playing frame rates and was a stable build for them.....

NEW VIA Chipset 4in1 Drivers for KT4AV BAD

Ok heres the problem. I have a KT4AV-L motherboard and I wanted to update the VIA Chipset 4in1 Drivers. While I was installing it and when it reached 100%, the screen went black and wouldn't boot back up. I had to hit the restart button to reboot Windows again. Doesn't anyone also have this problem with the new VIA Chipset 4in1 Drivers V4.51 on the KT4AV motherboard?

I haven't heard of this, but I know if not installing under Safe Mode the driver install often hang at the last percent.

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.

MSI 785GM-E51 can't install audio drivers

Hey, I would be grateful if you could help me with this problem.
When I try to install the audio drivers of this mobo(785GM-E51), Windows 7 can't find them. It offers me another set of drivers - that of VIA's, but it should be Realtek's. Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but I have a an issue with front panel microphone jack(it's not working), so I want to install the proper drivers. I tried disabling auto-installing option of Windows 7, and then install the drivers that MSI offers officially , but still the computer acts as if I didn't install anything.
EDIT: It seems that I have a different motherboard - in the document I have(about the parts of PC), it says that the computer has MSI 785GM-E51, but now that I checked the informationa about motherboard in the Windows itself, it appaars that ASrock M3A770DE is in the case. So I guess the fact that I can't install the MSI's drivers is because of different mobo. I have no idea how this could've happened.

>>Posting Guide<<
Why don't you open up a case and read the model? Is the computer secured with some sort of sticker that voids warranty if opened?

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?

Apple's Core Audio drivers have been corrupted?

Since upgrading to Leopard, my Alesis USB Multimix8 mixer has been increasingly getting more and more static output and has become about useless. After trying everything I could think of, I wrote to Alesis and this is what their support said...
"With Apple’s latest updated OS Leopard, it seems Apple’s Core Audio drivers have been corrupted and affects many class compliant devices such as the Multimix 8 USB which relies on these drivers. Until Apple addresses this with a fix, the best workaround is to back-down to 10.4.10, especially if this will be used in a professional studio."
Does this sound correct to anyone? Is theAudio Core drivers that bad on Leopard and is this something that Apple even plans to address?
Thanks!

Hi, everyone.
Alesis is VERY quick to point the finger at Apple for all their woes, but after my last experience, I'm thinking this is Alesis' problem.
At one time I was running my Alesis MultiMix8 FireWire and getting constant kernel panics while working on audio and video deadlines. As this was the famed 8-core (rolling off the assembly lines in May and all that) I was banging my head against the wall. It finally came down to me bringing in all of my office into Apple's Genius Bar at Tysons Corner, VA and trying to duplicate the occurrence.
The culprit was the Alesis driver.
When I upgraded to Leopard and the new Alesis FireWire driver, I have encountered no KPs or odd audio issues. Confident, I decided to try out the Alesis iMultiMix8 USB for the Second Edition of Podcasting for Dummies. I got a high-pitched whine/static when I tried working with the audio mixing between iPod and mixer. I returned the mixer and exchanged it for another one. Same problem. I then went and tested the iMultiMix on my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11. Problem still existed. I wrote to Alesis and told them about the iMultiMix, asking them if this was a common issue.
No response.
While Leopard has solved the issues of the KP and continues to perform like a champ, I have been talking to other friends working on both 10.5 and 10.4 having issues with Alesis mixers and USB-powered pre-amps. It sounds less of an Apple issue and more of an Alesis issue.
I think all we can do is wait for Alesis to resolve the problem they are failing to acknowledge is theirs. Not much of an answer, but apparently this the way things appear to be.

Switching Core Audio Drivers - No Audio Out

I have a project in Logic Pro 8. It was recorded with Presonus Core Audio drivers on a Powerbook. The Project was then handed off to me to complete here in the studio.
I re-opened the Logic Express Project in Logic Pro 8 using Digidesign HD hardware and Digidesign's Digidesign HW (HD) Core audio driver. All was well.
We decided to try some changes in routing, using some new equipment M-Audio (ProFire Lightbridge) to take advantage of some Apogee I/O units in the studio. Loaded up the M-Audio Core Audio Drivers (ProFire Lightbridge Multichannel), made sure everything appeared properly in the Apple AMS (Audio Midi Setup) panel and did test tracks in Logic. All was well still
Then I opened the Project, which had been working in Logic 8 and interfacing with the Digi HD hardware, now using the Lightbridge Multichannel driver to access the Apogee I/O, and...no audio.
No indication of activity on the hardware interfaces. I checked Logic 8, onscreen everything appeared normal. Channel meter activity. Channel routing remained unchanged and should have appeared at the appropriate D/A convertor. Digital activity which would have normally been indicated at the ADAT to Firewire interface was non-existent. So, I would deduce that the computer was not directing the Logic channel activity through the new driver to the firewire interface from this project.
I rechecked the test project with tones. I/O activity normal. Audio out. I opened another of the series of sessions from Logic Express to Logic using DAE now using the M-Audio interface. Nada. No firewire/ADAT activity?
I have reverted without problem back to using the DAE/Digi Core Audio model with no problems, but I would like to get the ADAT/Core Audio model running on these same projects as a proof-of-concept, and see no reason why it shouldn't.
Opinions, suggestions, ideas, questions?
...JB
Message was edited by: J A Bohrer

When I was on the phone with M-Audio Tech Support (they're quite helpful) we noted the following:
1. If you switch over to Core Audio using the Mac's Internal speaker in one of these projects (switch to Apple's internal Core Audio Driver). All Channels are immediately updated to show only Output 1-2 available. and the project plays through channels 1-2 and the MacPro Speaker.
2. Switching back to DAE Core Audio, all available channels are updated and all plays/records normally using the Digidesign HW (HD) Core Audio Driver.
3. When the ProFire Lightbridge Core Audio Driver is selected, all channels are updated (now 1-18) and available, but if you select a channel or channel pair on one of the Channel Strips that was not in use previously in this session, an "out" bus for that channel is not created in Logic (which it normally does, assuming you choose a new channel pair for output from a channel strip...)
When a 'new' project is created with the Lightbridge setup selected as the Core Audio output, all channels will auto create an appropriate channel output strip.
My problem only exists when opening a previously created project. (In this case using DAE Core Audio...and I'm not implicating that as the cause, I don't think it is.)
It's like having previous sessions/projects, buying new hardware to improve your ability to work with them only to find out you can't use your new stuff with the old sessions. (Not like that hasn't happened before.)
Either Logic is at fault, not being able to accomodate the driver change from DAE to M-Audio, or the M-Audio driver is, being unable to get Logic to update its Environment to accomodate the new channel availability.

Garage band wont work, need to install midi or audio drivers?

tried backing up my comp to install OSX leopard but failed. now garage band wont work! I keep getting this message...also want to know if its possible to upgrade to osx leopard with a 4th gen macbook that runs osx 10.4.11
*garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers.*
Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.

Im having the same problem, I upgraded my IMAC and was using tiger and I upgraded it to MAC 10.5.7, now GarageBand wont work saying my midi and audio drivers arent correct. My Reason 4.0 wont start either saying the same thing failed to open the midi library. My Protools works fine but I dont know how to update the audio and midi drivers that it matches the software I uploaded. I also went to the audio midi set up and it read, Audio MIDI Setup was unable to launch the MIDI Server. This means that you will be unable to view or edit your MIDI configurations.
Improperly written MIDI drivers can prevent the MIDI Server from launching successfully. If you have recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then relaunching Audio MIDI Setup. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, then please contact the driver's manufacturer for further support.

Garage Band Audio Drivers

After Upgrading my OS to 10.5.8 from 10.4.1 I am unable to run Garageband '08. When I try to play one of my old projects the following message appears:
! GARAGE BAND HAS DETECTED A POSSIBLE CONFLICT BETWEEN ONE OR MORE THIRD PARTY MIDI OR AUDIO DRIVERS. BE SURE TO INSTALL THE LATEST DRIVERS FOR ALL AUDIO AND MIDI EQUIPMENT.
Can someone please tell me what the latest drivers are and what is a reliable place to acquire them.
I did download and installed PACE drivers, which I believe allow you to open protected files.
Thank you.

Thanks for the prompt reply Cristoph. That is exactly what I did. It turns out there were a few prior discussions
regarding this issue, all advocating for the same method: I went to the Library folder, took out both Digidesign drivers from the Audio Midi Folder created a new folder within the Library and dumped them into it.
Voilå!! Garage Band works again! Thank you.
