I know this board is simple... But its a Vortex 2 chip... And new old stock...

I dont care for optical out, so, this board is a good buy? The price is good... Very good...

Fake cards and fake chips are a thing, so just be cautious.

hi did you ever find a driver that works with this?
i have got a few that work but whenever i power off my computer, then power it on again it forgets that it has drivers installed and wants to install them again.
this doesn't happen from restarting.

MSI MS-6734 KM3M mobo / Athlon XP 3000+ /512mb ddr1 ram
Voodoo 3 3000 PCI @185mhz / Aureal vortex 2 (dell oem)
3dfx ref. drivers win98se and dual boot with winXP-32 bit running amigasport 3.0 3dfx drivers oc'd with koolsmokey's V.Control in XP

The problem is the drivers are confused by the PCI bus on your board. This happens with chipsets from ~2000 onward. […]

Edit au30mmed.inf and remove the semicolon in front of this line.
;HKR,Config,DisableBusDetection,1,1

Hopefully that will get the 98 driver working.
