Installing Crystal Audio Drivers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. By default, the Microsoft/Intel driver gets installed. It is named Intel ® 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller. Remove this entry from the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers section in device manager. 2. Remove the corresponding Intel/Microsoft inf/pnp file in c:\winnt\inf. The names of these files are wdma_int.inf and wdma_int.pnf. It is, of course, optional that these get removed. But Plug and Play life will be easier if they are removed. 3. Restart. Plug and Play will occur again. You will be prompted for a driver. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Uninstalling/Re-Installing Crystal Audio Drivers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Open Device Manager. 2. Remove Crystal WDM Audio Codec entry in the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers section. The game controller is not part of the audio driver. It is a separate device altogether. Crystal is not the owner of the game controller on this audio solution. 3. Delete Crystal INF and PNF in c:\winnt\inf. It will likely be called oem0.inf and oem.pnf. 4. Restart your PC for Plug and Play to happen again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
