4 Channel Low Profile PCI Sound Card with AC97 3D Audio Effects	CMI8738	Works	`r76032`	Driver is provided on the CD packaged with the sound card. I extracted drivers from the Setup.exe. This is a simple NSIS self-extracting installer. I decompressed it using 7z. I added installation files to my bootcd.iso for ReactOS. You can hear ReactOS sound for session opening and play any sound if you open a video just a few seconds after you heard ReactOS sound at opening session. However it will fail if you wait too much time. But at least you can hear ReactOS at opening sessions.	rboxeur

SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio (Not HD)	SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio	Run w/o result	`r72017`	Install worked and the start up sound will play but it has some static sounds when playing. Audio from other applications did not play anything. Sound only played during start up. After installing the driver ReactOS seemed to never be able to shutdown properly anymore. Unsure if that is related to the driver or not. Would always have to kill power to shutdown/restart because it would freeze. Also had to restart many times before sound would play and the driver would be fully installed.	Reactosfan34

I have not had time to try it again. Reactosfan34: The required HDA audio bus driver fails to install thus the driver can't be used.	Pi_User5

Creative Audio Drivers

Notes: Testing

Latest versions of Winamp suffer an annoying bug (#1239) in ros that won't let you click on it as if the main window were transparent. I've done some tests and the last 'clickable' and 'working' version is 1.90. After 1.90 Winamp crashes but its main window is still clickable until 2.08. Special pack for ros made from 1.90 + 2.08 here. Gabriel_itAureal is known to use MF - multifunction entries in their INF. As we don't support such, one has to convert it back to normal entries before trying out the driver. Caemyr

Debugging

If you can provide a debug log and compile ReactOS from sources, please change NDEBUG to YDEBUG in the following files:

Creative Sound Cards & Media Devices Driver download

You'll need to recompile those modules (make portcls_clean sysaudio_clean, wdmaud_kernel_clean make kmixer_clean)

Install Sound Card Driver

The product comes with a mini DSP-like array of features that allows you to tune the sound stage the way you would like it to sound. This means that you will never be constrained by the recording quality of any MP3 song or game as you would be able to tune the sound accordingly. However, even if you leave everything at default settings, the sound is already enhanced as compared to the onboard sound chip/card of your notebook/PC. This product is best matched to a 5.1 sound system. I was using a system (low budget at $55) with a 25 watt RMS subwoofer and the highs and lows, clarity and deep bass from the system has blown my friends away when played as it matches and even surpassed systems that would cost ten times more. They simply could not comprehend that music can sound so good with strong separation of channels and enhanced through stereo surround from 5 speakers. THe whole front area becomes a huge sound stage. The pinnacle of sound came when I managed to hook up a Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 megaworks with THX Certification and 500 watts of pure RMS power. Though old technology and already a defunct model, the whole setup made the same group of friends realise that you do not have to spent thousands to enjoy incredible sound. This also has caused them to rethink about going wireless when analogue can actually sound so good. My only grouse is that it would be great if the product can be a little smaller and come with a retractable/adjustable USB connection. The one given is a little too long. Highly recommended with 5.1 setup.
