Technical Support: Modems and Sound Cards
Analog Devices does not manufacture sound or modem cards. Many sound cards use chipsets from Analog Devices in their designs.

Drivers are often customized to work with specific PCs or motherboard platform. Please contact the manufacturer of the PC for technical assistance. For technical assistance on a specific sound card, please contact the manufacturer of the card.

To use any driver other than that provided specifically by the motherboard or pc maker would just be a hit and miss game.

Note: the "(L)", at the right side of the chipset number, is a designator meaning it's a Low powered chipset that doesn't draw as much current as a regular AD198x chip..... making it ideal for portables.
