use during the install process.
2. Locate and double click the self-extracting exe file you just
downloaded. The WinZip Self-Extractor application will open.

"Browse" and selecting the desired folder. (Philips recommends
using the default folder.)

5. Uninstall all audio drivers currently installed. Use the Windows
Add/Remove Programs application in the Control Panel.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have an audio device built into your motherboard you must
disable it in BIOS. There may be 1 - 3 items in BIOS that must
be disabled. Additionally there may be jumpers on the mother-
board that have to be set appropriately to fully disable the
on-board sound hardware.
Refer to your Motherboard documentation and or the board
manufacture for assistance.
Reboot your computer.

the location of the driver files:

point to that location by using the Browse button.
8. Click "OK".
