That would be expected, because as mentioned above, its a motherboard manufactured for Fujitsu-Siemens, not maintained or supported by ASUS !!

The drivers can be obtainedfrom the chip vendors whose products are used on the board. ASUSdoesn't make Intel or Realtek chips.

Intel 845GE/ICH4 =

Realtek ALC65x AC97 Audio =

Realtek RTL8101L LAN =

Windows Update will have fairly recent drivers for every device on this board. Additionally, FSC maintained an all-encompassing driver update package for Scaleo models active between 2004 ~ 2006:

I sincerely hope that one of the above will work................sodeep

Hi,

The driver for Realtec AC 97 is :-

Download, Install and restart.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
