Need Windows 7 driver for Intel Audio Chip ADI1981HD

[idata]

The chipset is listed as "AC - 97 Audio, ADI1981HD via ESB2 / high definition" in the Xref. The complete document is available at the link below. From what I can find on the Intel support site, you are correct and it does not appear that there is a driver for this chip set. Maybe you will have better luck than I had.

Xref - Page 95 contains the 9228 http://hostedmailsecurity.symantec.com/redir/?kNMVZYQsL6QNMVZYQsLCM0peJ9-w9Q-PspjbtgIHI9_rBYzW4EUi5Ngf2M31Aq3bq0Ka1Um0oczgpcE6bzhsMh2Vkby8KM-T0rt5060F01SgCn0m5G1Fw1oxkb0i0M92Ho4wc2k0iwd5hySC1s2wWjSws2EANPHJD07awA4xUm38Q6k1O03xqb8c3nOUwbfn0tpMb4QoBrSgoj8fcyxwgj8wkbf9xAqcefx860s1O9c3GNby0m9TwwNsaBgen5P03Ak0KU6iUUb0OEGIhg6x81MIbl2t2Vsr2shwcIy510d2Uv6b... http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/xref/usxref-w.pdf Intel site: http://hostedmailsecurity.symantec.com/redir/?kNMVZYQsL6QNMVZYQsLCM0peJ9-w9Q-PspjbtgIHI9_rBYzW4EUiSEjEnbyTM51qEjEnbyTM2RrE9yVp42pAg80VEV5hMKh3wOaA0Cer0obH0sKy4SUxkb0i0M92Ho4wc2k0iwd5hySC1s2wWjSws2EANPHJD07awA4xUm38Q6k1O03xqb8c3nOUwbfn0tpMb4QoBrSgoj8fcyxwgj8wkbf9xAqcefx860s1O9c3GNby0m9TwwNsaBgen5P03Ak0KU6iUUb0OEGIhg5N81MIbl2t2Vsr2shwcIy510d2Uv6bxK_f... http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx

This audio chipset is used in a lot of Boards. I know it's in HP, IBM, and Dell ( http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19268952/19601455.aspx# 19601455 http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19268952/19601455.aspx# 19601455 )

boards. I bet it's in a number of Intel branded boards as well. I also goes by the name SoundMax HD.

Very frustrating issue.
