latest vista drivers for major hardware

Just recently installed windows vista

When i play back any audio, it randomly slows down my music as if i were
pausing and playing really fast, or the artist is stuttering lol, this is
VERY ANNOYING. At the same time though it seems my entire computer goes
sluggish for a fraction of a second as well. Just randomly about every 5-10
seconds everything slows for a quick second and goes back to normal. What
can i do? To both help my music and my computer, the music is my main issue

Bad audio playback here too (vista rc1, wmp 11) for all media file types.

I had this exact problem and someone suggested I download and install
Via-raid-5.30c. As I don't have a Raid array I was doubtfull it would work,
but it solved my problem completely.

So if your motherboard uses Via chipset, try these drivers.

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Oth...AID-530c.shtml

Note: to get them installed, I first ran the setup program supplied in the
above download, then after a reboot I went into device manager/storage
controllers/via sata raid controllers and clicked on Driver update, I then
pointed tge `browse for driver` to the downloaded file.

Ok, thanks. That worked for me too.

I have the exact same problem with my system and a VIA VT8237 raid controller

Have downloaded and did run install - but can't get the update driver wizard
to recognize any drivers in any of the related folders. Exactly which folder
did you point the wizard to?

Thanks in advance

Make sure you unzip the folder first, then just point it to the unzipped
folder.
