Win2k and MX300. patches? fixes?

[Lon3W0lf]

I know the MX300 has a lot of issues with different hardware and different software. But lately I've been having a lot of problems with gaming in win2k with the MX300. I was just wondering if there were any reg fixes, or patches, or registry inputs to fix this problem.

Thanks,
Lon3W0lf

anybody else?

In win2k, the card should work well with any BX chipset based motherboard, with the included reference drivers, or with aureal's reference drivers (their site just went down today )

With any VIA, AMD, or 815E chipset, no fully functional drivers were created before aureal went out of business

You can forget about patches and fixes and drivers because Diamond doesnt make soundcards anymore. Vortex2 is known to have problems with Win2K so its not an obscure issue. My advice is to spend $50 and get a Live!.

aureal has beta drivers out that will never make it to a release ver. I know a few sites out there have made their own win2k drivers for the card. you might try those, but can you really trust these guys out there?
