VIA AC97 Audio Controller Driver for Windows
VIA VIA AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller Audio codec driver driver
This VIA AC97 package is for older PCs and motherboards that use the VIA AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller instead of a newer HD Audio codec.
VIA AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller driver overview
The local CAB is intended for legacy Windows systems where the onboard sound controller appears in Device Manager but the audio driver is missing. The page keeps the old package, checksum and source reference together so the file can be checked before use.
When this driver helps
- An older VIA-based motherboard has no sound after Windows XP or 2000 installation.
- Device Manager shows a VIA AC97 audio controller.
- You need a small driver package for a legacy offline repair.
Supported Windows versions
Windows XP / 2000 is listed for this package. Match the exact audio device before installing.
Install notes
Download the local file from this page, compare the file size and SHA256 checksum, then install from Device Manager or the vendor setup workflow. Restart Windows before testing speakers, headphones and microphone input.
