I see you are still posting here MR WinXP
and have not decided to give us the
beneifit of what version of "real DOS"
AC'97 is a misnomer as there are several
flavours by different manufacturers, and XP
does not always get the right
identification.
You need to use a tool like
http:///www.hwinfo.com/ to find out the
exact manufacturer of this AC'97 Sound
Chip.
Why you now the manufacturer look at
http://83.67.55.228/page2.htm as it lists
supported STANDALONE DOS available drivers.
Though I believe a generic driver was
compiled but it only works with WinDOS,
maybe try GOOGLING ??
I hope that after several removed postings
you will enlighten us whay version of O/Ses
you are using ??
