Below are Aureal Semiconductor's reference drivers. They will be different than the ones that you received from the manufacturer of your sound card. Each
of the sound board manufacturer's drivers are modified to support various features that are unique to the board. As a result, Aureal in no way guarantees the
functionality and stability of these drivers and they are made available for reference purposes only. Please contact your sound board manufacturer for
support questions.
Some A3D sound cards use the Aureal Vortex AU8820 processor, some A3D sound cards do not. Verify that your sound card uses the Vortex AU8820
before downloading these drivers. Additionally, the following sound cards and PCs are sufficiently different from the Vortex reference design.
Turtle Beach Montego A3D
Dell Computers with Turtle Beach Montego A3D
Aztech PCI 338-A3D
TerraTec XLerate A3D
Compaq Computers (does not use Vortex)
If you have one of these models, we strongly urge that you DO NOT download these drivers, but instead get them from the sound card manufacturer. (See
