Can't install AC'97 in Win7?

[controlpanelheist]

There this pop up that always that keep on asking me endlessly about whether to install or not install the unsigned driver. Looked this up on Google and tried fixes others have suggested but doesn't work for me. That damn thing keeps on asking me. Anyone know how to get pass this? I need to install this to test out my other problem...

ac97 is a set of standards for the integrated sound

download and install the latest audio drivers for your mb

I've tried the same thing, downloaded "6305_Vista_Win7_PG537.zip" and try to install on my Abit AB9 QuadGT in Win 7 64 and it keeps doing the same thing. I only want to listen to a regular set of speakers over the analogue audio out jack.

So in other words I don't need the ac'97?

I found the latest updates for my audio MB on a site. So I'll go and proceed to install the latest one for my mobo.

Have you tried looking for the audio drivers on your MB's site? 505090 suggestion worked for me

Yes, downloaded the only one for Audio off of Abit's site, and it won't even install!

here is the link to the file you will need to unzip it before you can install it
ftp://ftp-usa.abit.com.tw/pub/download/driver2/realtek_audio/hd/r190.zip

From your mobo manual.
1.8.6 Front Panel Audio Connection Header
This header provides the front panel connection for HD (High Definition)
Audio, yet for AC’97 Audio CODEC connection, you must carefully check the
pin assignment before connecting from the front panel module. An incorrect
connection may cause malfunction or even damage the motherboard
Btw HD is the preferred connection anyways these days.

505090, I have already downloaded that file and tried it won't even install, I keep getting this error : "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !! [Error Code : -0001]".

Davcon, who said anything about the FP audio connection, I am talking about the rear panel audio connection.

Oh so you think possibly having the wrong the fp lead connected to the mobo header won't cause problems.
It will it's all connected.
Plus why don't you download driversweeper and uninstall all the Realtek files in safemode
Then reinstall the appropriate drivers as Admin.

I figured it out, I downloaded the 2.52 HD Audio drivers from Realtek's site and they installed fine and now I have audio. I did the driver sweeper thing and then tried the 1.90 drivers and they still would not install. I then found the 2.52 on Realtek and they worked.
