Windows 7 64bit, AV-710 flashed to Prodigy..Ideas?

[RasmusseN]

Hi,
 
I recently installed Windows 7 64bit on my PC. I'm having issues getting my soundcard to work at all, It's been awhile but I remember flashing it to some type of Prodigy driver and using optical out only. I downloaded the drivers for this card ( http://www.esi-audio.com/products/prodigy71/ ) on their website with no luck ( latest ones ).
 
I saw this thread, think that's for another setup (not optical out).

Anyone get this setup to work correctly?
 
Thank you

So you have the Chaintech AV-710 sound card (popular sound card, over 10 years ago).
Is uses the VIA VA1721 Envy24HT-S audio chipset.
Not easy finding newer drivers for it.

You could get an Asus Xonar DG (PCI) sound card, $27 and there is a $10 mail in rebate this month.

They're are available drivers, they just fail to install. I moved the sound card to another PC having the same issue (windows XP) I think I'm going to reflash it, couldn't find a floppy disc anywhere. I really only use this soundcard for optical out, use a external DAC to some Mackie Studio Monitors

Did you disable the motherboard's on-board audio? in the BIOS.
