Can't find audio driver for intel 82801db ich4 - ac'97 audio controller driver

[RVP#11]

I have the same problem guys, I uninstalled it by accident and am struggling to find correct drivers.

I've attached the report from EVEREST.

Thank you, much appreciated if you could help!

These are the chipset and audio drivers for your motherboard. ASUS P4B533-VM
It's a good idea to install the chipset and then the audio.

Intel(R) Brookdale-G Chipset Graphics Driver 11.0.2 Production Version-Windows 2000/XP Driver V6.13.01.3069.

Avance AC 97 Drivers A3.37.1
Win98SE/Win2000/WinME/WinXP(WDM driver) v.5.10.0.4080

Thanks for the help mate, but after I installed the chipset like you said, I tried installing the new audio driver but nothing happened. I extracted the winrar file and tried running the 'SoundMan' file but nothing, the sandtimer and mouse icon appeared for a split second like it was processing it but nothing.

There is also nothing abnormal running in my processes which suggests it isn't opening?

That's strange. That was the driver from ASUS for your motherboard audio.
Uninstall Realtek through Add/Remove Programs (if there)
Run CCleaner (the registry tool)

And then download and install this driver:

Right, new problem, this time with the graphics thing you told me to install. The PC starts up okay and then I open a program ie. Mozilla, it does this and goes all 1980 graphics on me.



It happens every other time I switch my PC on, any suggestions on fixing it ?

That graphics thing was supposed to be the chipset drivers. I grabbed the wrong download for you. :o If you can find it in Device Manager, disable it. Then let me know if you are back to normal. If you're not tell me what going on in Device Manager.

Instead of disabling that driver, try rolling it back. That should put it back to the original state.

I rolled it back but still it happens :/ ?

This should straighten you back out:
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* XP (exe)

The mistaken driver I had you install for an ASUS motherboard with a nVidia chipset (which you have) was actually a nVidia graphics chip driver, which you don't have. You have an Intel graphics chip.

Nice one mate, sorted now.

Thank you.

Glad it got straightened out. I don't know how I grabbed the wrong one but I'm sure I'll do it somewhere again.

i thought i would find the answer for my problem reading this, but actually it is not the same problem.
well, my ethernet controller and the audio device don't work.
i sought for the drivers but i just couldn't find them.

i hope you will help me too, because i don't know anymore what to do.

here is the report from everest

You can find your drivers here:
These are the audio drivers for your motherboard. I am not sure which specific model you have.

You could identify your product number and narrow it down. The site has an auto-detect on this page.
