Summary
Win 98SE on K8V-MX motherboard this driver works!
Charlieh--2008December 27, 2011
Pros
Installing Win 98 SE on a K8V-MX m/b. Managed to download and successfully install all drivers apart from on-board audio. The recommended Soundmax and other seemingly obvious candidates were each greeted by the yellow Question Mark in Device Manager. Trying this driver made Device Manager happy again!
Cons
None really; unlike others, it simply worked. Its pretty basic, with no "bolt-on goodies", a driver that worked for me on a Via motherboard (circa 2004) running Windows 98SE

Pros
None, at least not to me.

Only works with VIA chipset. If you have SiS or any other just FORGET IT.
