The only driver that is required to get the audio working on this
motherboard is the nVIDIA nForce Audio Driver that you can get from
nVIDIA's download site. The latest version is 4.62 released back on August
23, 2005. This audio driver is also included in the nForce4 AMD Platform
drivers, latest version is 6.70 released on October 26, 2005.
I have found that I did not need to use the Realtek drivers on this
motherboard.
