These drivers are for all Microsoft Operating systems. Microsoft no longer provides driver certification for Win95/98/98SE/NT, however the driver below still supports these operating systems - but there is no certification logo for these operating systems in the driver.
This driver supports all VIA southbridges with integrated sound, including VT8231/VT82C686A/VT82C686B, VT8233/VT8233A/VT8233C/VT8235.
This driver supports DOS sound for VIA VT82C686A/VT82C686B/VT8231 southbridges only.
This combination driver was first published on 24 June 2002. Prior to 24 June 2002, there was driver 74mu170a for VT8233/VT8233A/VT8233C and driver 68MU220b for VT686A, 686B & VT8321. The "combo" driver combines those two drivers into the one package and adds support for the new VT8235 southbridge. In addition, further improvements have been made in subsequent release. Please refer to the file under "installation instructions" in the table below for further information.
The ComboAudio driver also supports OS/2.

Usually drivers for chipsets or onboard components, I tend to go to the websites of the makers of those components; the drivers there are usually more up-to-date. Some motherboard manufacturers seem to update their driver links once a year or so.

AC97 is just a digital audio bus. You need drivers for the audio ENGINE (which is in the chipset) and the signal coder/decoder, the CODEC. Usually, the drivers offered on the chipset maker's site supports a range of usual suspect CODECs. www.viaarena.com in your case.
