RetroOS Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Tricky... C-Media have pulled all their old drivers from their website...Google gets lots of hits...I'll have a dig around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Better check the VENDOR ID string in the registry. I have a C-Media CMI8738/C3DX card that's actually manufactured by Diamond Multimedia (appears as Xtreme Sound in Control Panel and Device Manager) and I managed to find their drivers (5.12.01.0046.5.1) after quite a bit of searching around. You may get lucky and find a manufacturer that still offers their drivers.edit: apologies, card type CMI8335 was wrong, got confused. Oh and AFAICS, Diamond Multimedia have pulled their Win9x/NT/Linux drivers too. Outrageous! Edited April 12, 2009 by Drugwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drugwash Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) CMI 8338 has a different ID string and may not be found in certain driver packages. Find your ID and check with this site for the vendor name; also look in the driver package, see if CMAUDIO.INF contains that ID string, otherwise it won't work.I've struggled a lot with various packages found on the web, especially due to the lack of configuration options regarding the '3 vs. 5 jacks' issue. Eventually I did find a setup on one of my CDs that allows it and it's merely a matter of changing values in setup.ini (also possibly a different Setup.exe):;CMI8738 Setup.ini for driver install; web downloading upgrade package drivers[InstallOption]; WebSetup=0 for customers, 1 for downloading, 2 for single driver installationWebSetup=1; FullPackage=0 for web upgrade version, 1 for full package driversFullPackage=0; DriverOnly=1 means install drivers only, 0 means install both APs and drivers.DriverOnly=1; InstallWDMDriver=0 means install VxD driver, 1 means install WDM driverInstallWDMDriver=1 Edited April 13, 2009 by Drugwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
