Windows 7: SoundMAX AD 1985

in post No drivers for SoundMax AD1888. a decision is found
"I had same problem with AD1888 but in 32 bit Win 7 (7000). Windows 7 installed driver for Soundmax and even updated it, but it didn't work at all. The problem was in driver number - 5.12.01.5290. I just replaced one file (smwdm.sys) from Asus Win XP driver pack for this card (5.12.01.3665) and rebooted the system. So I have sound now. "

where it is possible to get it a file???




(I beg pardon for errors in text. I use on-line by a translator. )

Good God, that actually worked!

If you have XP on your machine, the file is in windows\system32\drivers (in my case g:\windows\system32\drivers). Overwrite the file in c:\windows\system32\drivers with this file.

I have problems with P5P800 soundmax adi 1985 codec


I just solved it using this driver and installing manually:

Dears,

I'm sorry for my bad English, but I believe that I know how to fix the problem with SoundMax AD 1985 on Windows 7 32 bits:
I had problem with my ASUS P4P800 with AD 1985 when I installed Windows 7 and after to search a lot on Internet and never found a solution I decided to try by myself and it's work now!
Attention: Obviously that you will need the Drivers or CD instalation!
1º) Put the CD into the driver or extract the driver and program intallation in a folder;
2º) Into the folder that have Win XP driver select the executable files (*.exe) and click with rigth button of mouse over them (one-by-one) and choose "properties";
3º) In the window that appears choose compatible mode, them choose Windows XP SP2;
4º) After doing it on every file "*.exe" go to setup.exe and run it!
5º) If all was worked well, the driver and program SoundMax will install and work without problem like Windows XP!

That is all!

One more time: Sorry for my bad English, but I think that the answer of the problem awards the effort!

Thanks for the information.

I've uploaded a driver combination that worked fine on Windows 7, on my P4P800 motherboard, with AD 1985, And Surround 5.1.

I hope it work for you...

I have downloaded the file on megaupload but I have no luck with my AD1985 on Windows Seven Ultimate x86
can you please tell me how did you get it work on 7?

Thanks in advance

Yes . I coudnt work that too.Can u tell us

I have the same problem on a Intel D865PERL board with AD 1985 onboard audio. Thanks to jusce for posting the drivers, I can now get sound (and media center to work). The trick is to goto Device Manager, and right click on the Multimedia Controller and install the driver manually (i.e. let you choose from a list of device, then click have Disk and select the folder that contain the extracted files from jusce's post). Once that's done, it will give you 4 options, just choose the top one and accept that it is not a signed driver (i.e. approved by Windows 7). It will work and then you use control panel to select the sound setup i.e. configure speakers.

Great !

Work for me on Asus P4P800SE board,thanx to @jusce and @thomasnotatwork !!
