hey guys I need a favor mostly why we do this, ha ha ha any how I got off talking with this dumb guy from compaq and what I need is this driver  avance logic inc, als4000 the most recent for 98 se I KNOW that is some what old.  But my software wont run with anything newer.  I tried the website and the guy argued about it not being the attucal driver and said try this  http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/ac97.html  but its a completely differnt driver to ANOTHER sound card.  Then some other crap....  I was wondering also if there is an easy way to see if other compaq disks will work said something about being specfic to the machine.  Its a close one to mine at least I think so close that I can do it.  Its my dads which had 98 on it as well.Here Ya Go...

As always scan the DLoad before opening it.oh sorry, forgot havent been doing that kind of thing recently.  Thanks patiobut how do i get it???  It jumps me to a list of other sound cards and such.Here is  the direct download LINK from the same download link:

http://www.sound-drivers.org/temp/sc4000_98.zip    that was wierd okay I have it know.still gives me the error.  I tried a seperate driver to a sound card that is exatly the same as the on board.What is the error you get ?

I'll have to look around for it appearntly the only other place I have it is on my camera and some were on here.It just asks for some cabs FILE that isnt there sorry forgot to get it but I know its not there at all tried too differnt disks.  my father has a 5BW1 KMAT CTO Serial 9034DTYZK359  would any of his stuff work with mine his was an me.  Also, if nothing else I figured that I could use and old sound card which has the exact same chip but the driver dont work  that the card uses. any thoughts?  i am about ready to slap in that cardcan I know sooon?   hate to talk with them again in the state were in at the moment with the worm..cab files will be on the Windows CD's of whatever OS is installed on that machine...
It may need them for the drivers to install correctly.sorry its not a cab at all, I looked at it and its attcually a clock.ax or something like that sorry.  I put a card in at any rate.  I TALKED with them and she wanted me to flash the bios if nothing else.  Dont want too.
