C-Media CM8738 driver(Version: 4.06.1096): John C.Chiang

Rev 4.06.1096 21 Jun 2001 19:00
1. VxD : release the limitation of digital share over S/PDIF input monitoring

Rev 4.06.1095c 21 May 2001 19:00
1. Vxd: fix the problem of "crashed in shutdown in Win95". The cause is when free
        memory of SoftMidi in dsTerminateDriver, some memory blocks are released
        more than twice. In Win98, it is not a problem; however, in Win95, it will
        cause system crashed.

1. Drv: 2 problems fixed
      1). ADC2SPDIF is removed from drv
      2). the SPDIF IN sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (18H, bit 24) is bad,
          must reference SPDIF OUT sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (2 incorrect
          places found in drv).
2. Vxd: ADC2SPDIF is added to vxd
3. Vxd: 3 problems fixed:
      1). the category codes added in Construct_SPDIF_Frame are missed sometimes.
      2). in 055 chip, when enable SPDIF OUT, we can't monitor SPDIF OUT, because
          ADC2SPDIF is enabled incorrectly.
      3). the SPDIF IN sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (18H, bit 24) is bad,
          must reference SPDIF OUT sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (7 incorrect
          places found in vxd).

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
