Combo Audio Driver Components for Windows XP Embedded

1. Release note
This package is ver 3.0, adapted from logo'ed audio driver
ComboAudio_a1u320b.zip for VT82C686A, VT82C686B, VT8231, VT8233,
VT8233A, VT8233C, and VT8235. We have modified and added two
generic device IDs to the "VIAUDIO.INF" file so that all the
boards, regardless of their specific Subsystem IDs, can use this
component. However, the CAT file no longer works, as a result.
VIA provides the user with this sample component implementation,
to ease development and test effort. The user, however,
is advised to obtain the latest available driver and author
his or her own components.

Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

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