AU8830 Windows 2000 Driver README.TXT
=======================================================================
This is the Vortex AU8830 Windows 2000 driver version 4.10.2500
This Win2K build (any latest win2K build for that matter) comes
with an installed Aureal vortex WDM driver. For proper operation,
you need to uninstall the existing WDM driver from the O/S and
install the update.
=======================================================================
Uninstall:
=======================================================================
1) Go to the Settings->Control panel->system.
2) Go to the system->Device manager. Uninstall the Aureal vortex PCI adapter.
3) From the c:\winnt\inf directory, delete the following files.
'wdma_aur.inf'
'wdma_aur.pnf',
'Adm_mult.inf'
'Adm_mult.pnf'
'Adm_port.inf' ,
'Adm_port.pnf'.
4) Go to the c:\winnt\driver cache\i386. Rename the 'driver.cab' file
to something like 'driver.cat' (so that your Adm88xx.sys file doesn't
keep getting installed by the OS)
5) From the Folder options select 'show all hidden folders'. Then
'dllcache' folder appears under C:\winnt\system32.
6) From the 'dllcache' delete the 'Adm88xx.sys' 'Admjoy.sys' files.
7) Now go to the c:\winnt\system32\drivers. Delete the respective
'Adm88xx.sys' 'Admjoy.sys' files.
8) Reboot.
=======================================================================
Install
=======================================================================
1) At the restart System prompts for Multifunction adapter. Install starts.
2) In the middle of the install, the install asks for the following files.
'ksuser.dll', ks*.dll, 'portcls.sys' and '*.drv'. and finally 'aurealgm.arl'.
(Everything is on your system except the aurealgm.arl file.)
3) Browse to the following locations to install the above files:
Ksuser.dll -> c:\winnt\system32
ks*.dll -> c:\winnt\system32\drivers
*.drv -> c:\winnt\system32
portcls.sys->c:\winnt\system32\drivers
Aurealgm.arl->'Browse to the driver location'.
4) For the rest of the install, browse to the driver location
(AUDIO\AUREAL\WIN2K\ENGLISH) and the install is complete.
5) Reboot.
