Looking for sound card drivers...
I have an old soundcard on my old machine that didn't have a driver disk. (I realized this only after I reformatted the HDD) So, I've been searching for a while and still can't come up with something.
It's an ISA OPTi sound card with a chipset number of "82C931 119716 11CW". The machine is running win98SE. Thanks in advance!

It's an OPTi 931. You can get the drivers here:

FF2K2, can you tell me what was the procedure you performed to install the card once you had the drivers?
Another guy asked me for it, but I no longer have Win98 and can't remember how. TIA |

As I remember, it will "plug and play" and give you 4 flagged unknown devices. You start at the top, properties, install driver, point to the extracted drivers.

You remember correctly, glc.
I'm guessing you've long since abandoned 98, though.

I did this recently for a customer. I've abandoned 98 on my desktop, but presently have 98se on my laptop.

The other guy solved his problem.
He had all 3 PCI slots occupied, so he removed all the PCI cards and procceeded to install the ISA sound card first. Win98 recognized it, asked for the drivers and installed them no problem. Then he installed the PCIs again once the ISA was happily running. Thanks for your input, friends.

That makes sense - ISA cards cannot share IRQ's like PCI cards - and with all the PCI's in there, there may not have been any free IRQ's for the ISA card to take - and I believe the Optis need 2 IRQ's.
