NVIDIA nForce2景色司机以选择为音频和SMBus
NVIDIA不正式地支持支持nForce2基于主板与司机为窗口景色。 虽然这个没有景色支持决定辜负了许多所有者与mobo与nForce2芯片组例如Abit NF7-S， ASUS A7N8X豪华， Chaintech天顶CT-7NJS， EPoX 8RDA+， Leadtek K7NCR18D赞成， Biostar M7NCG， Albatron KM18G赞成，十亿字节7NNXP，并且MSI K7N2，然而，在这些nForce 2主板可以安装窗口景色并且适当地跑了，甚而，不用目的被制作的景色司机。
多数NVIDIA nForce 2司机为Windows XP罐头与窗口景色一起使用有少量例外。 实际上，一旦用户安装了窗口景色，它汽车将查出，并且安装多数司机需要，包括IDE，以太网LAN适配器，记忆控制器， GART AGP主人到PCI桥梁和AGP公车运送过滤器，虽然司机可能不为最宜的表现扭捏。 这使nForce2充分地的几其他与景色兼容。
为使用SATA硬盘与在机上硅图象Sil3112连续ATA芯片的用户，硅图象连续ATA司机版本v 1.0.0.50 WHQL为WinXP运作优良让景色认可硬盘的窗口。 SATA司机可以从mobo的制造商支持或下载站点被下载。 因为芯片是主板制作者，因此您能下载用途SiliconImage v10050 3113个SATA司机的同样提供了 Abit 或 ASUS.
注： 如果您在SATA硬盘想要安装窗口景色，复制所有驱动文件在2kxp subfolder里面(为Abit)或在被打开的文件夹的所有文件(为ASUS)在邮编档案里对软盘或USB闪光驱动，并且点击“分成安装景色的装载司机”，当及时选择。
在安装之后窗口景色，它从nForce 2 mobo将检索并且装载最新的司机从窗口更新。 窗口更新的状况将退回几次更新和“无法”，以问题报告，并且解答将显示以下：
- 窗口景色不支持NVIDIA (R) nForce (TM) MCP音频处理器(杜比(R)数字式)
- 窗口景色不支持NVIDIA (R) nForce (TM)音频编解码器接口
- 窗口景色不支持NVIDIA nForce PCI系统管理
对于nForce PCI系统管理(SMBus)，由于种种原因窗口景色将使用缺省司机，然而，系统将成为不稳定，特别是当系统进入待命者或冬眠方式，它可以无法来自那状态或恢复到原始的正常桌面。 为解决方法解决这个问题，下载窗口 景色32位 或 64位司机 为nForce4系列AMD。 Unpack the executable with WinRAR, and update the SMBus driver by browsing the unpacked archive location in SMBus sub-folder from the Device Manager.
Sound card driver is a bit tricky, as the architecture of the sound producing and mixing in Windows Vista has changed, most notably DirectSound hardware acceleration support has been discontinued, and DirectSound is run in emulation mode on Microsoft software mixer. But it’s still possible to get at least hearing sound and audio through the on-board sound card.
WinXP version of audio driver should works on Vista. Download the WHQL certified Unified Driver (64-bit version) and extract the content of the executable to a folder with WinRAR. Then go to Device Manager and update the audio driver by browsing to AudioDrv sub-folder in the extracted folder. Other audio drivers that possible works with Soundstorm driver x86/x64 for Vista or NVIDIA audio driver for Vista (32-bit or 64-bit download link). Note that the driver should be updated (go to Device Manager, right click on the device and choose Update Driver Software), so all executables should be extracted first with WinRAR.

If you want to have the 5.1 Coaxial/Optical working with nforce2 you need to download 6231_vista_APO.zip file from realtek. uninstall the Nvidia nForce Audio Codec Interface. The other nvidia MCP is for assigning the rear speakers, center, subwoofer and Digital Outputs an ID number so they can be identified as devices in XP. Nvidia failed to do that in these generic Vista drivers so that’s why they don’t work correctly. Plus this will just constantly reinstall itself if you try to uninstall it, so you can just leave it be.
Unpack the zip file and run the install. You will get several unsigned driver popups, just allow them. It may take several minutes for the install as well as it to restart. If you get a freeze up on the initial bios boot screen it should allow you to access the bios by pressing del. go through to on board devices, the install some how miniflashed the bios to add an onboard modem just disable this,save and reboot.(if you don’t get this error just continue) Vista should start now. You should see the new driver installed in the device manager, if not you will have to manually change it with the realtek AC’97 or VIA driver(both seem to have the same affect). Under sound properties you should notice speakers and Realtek Digital Output. Go through the configurations and you should notice the channel testing hitting all the speakers. This will now default the output to 2 speakers instead of the pseudo Dolby Digital freeing up your rear speakers so they can run in matrix. This also allows programs like PowerDVD and others to identify the SPDIF to bypass predecoding for Dolby Digital and DTS allowing your receiver to decode it correctly(which is better anyways, it allows more than just 5.1 if you have a better receiver). Just disable startup of the soundman since the realtek mixer doesn’t work anyways.
I did try to install the drivers directly and it didn’t ID the Digital out correctly, mind you these realtek drivers are Vista Drivers so perhaps the setup install does something else.
Enjoy! If this screws up your computer well, its a chance you’ll have to take if you really want 5.1. I’m not responsible. If you have a Phoenix-AwardBIOS V6 on an MSI board, you should be safe. But maybe I got lucky.

Your page helped me get my ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe based HTPC up and running Vista. Thank you.
I managed to take it one step further by installing nVidia’s nForce2 audio drivers for XP over top of the beta Vista drivers (I don’t know if the beta driver was actually required, but I assume it must be since no one else suggests doing this).
This provides full Dolby Digital Live encoding support as well as SPDIF output (and full control over the outputs).
I posted a detailed run down of what I did to get this running at The Green Button. It can be found here:

Thank you for saving my hair. I have been battling, the non-existant Nforce2 chipset driver for Vista. nVidia don’t support the aging chipset in driver releases so this workaround was a hair-saver
I installed on a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard.
1: Installed Vista.
2: Installed the Nforce4 SM BUS driver only.
3: Installed the AC97 (Vista_32bit) codec from Realtek.
Works OK for me, have 5.1 sound now, will tinker and try the nforce sound driver.
Thanks again.

THERE IS a nvidia driver that suports Dolby Digital Enconding, I don’t know why it is so hidden. So hard to find it. It’s nforce audio version 4.66 Beta(6.4.466)

Does this really help? Do i get almost the same performance in Vista with my GPU running these drivers for my mainboard as in XP? Because now my performance in Vista is about 40% lower than it was in XP.
Thank You
