Hi Peter,

.. Since most people don't have a clue as to what kind of soundcard or controller chip they have, could you give us some tips about the chances of it working on their computer?


Well, on my webpage http://members.home.nl/nahutec/AC97ASIO/ac97asio.htm there's a compatibility list. Point is, currently the driver is in beta stage and as such only to be installed by experienced computer users who know their hardware or have no trouble finding out for themselfs.
(I've mentioned that on the forums I initialy released the driver)
In doubt people can always contact me or post questions on how to determine the chances of it working on their computer.

For example, do you have a program that someone could run, that merely tests for the existence of this controller, and says "Sorry your system won't work.. no AC’97 compatible controller detected", or "Good news, it will work... AC’97 compatible controller detected ?"


The installer I plan to write should more or less take care of that.

Cheers,
