Nevermind, I went back and found it. lol
Yes, the one you want is the 15.12.01.3516b version. It's the only one that
shows up as an audio driver, but it's actually good for a variety of chips
and operating systems.
The dates on these releases tells us that they haven't been updated in a
long time (2002, 2003), so it's doubtful that installing any of them will
help your system. However, the fact that you reported something very
different than what's offered for your sound hints that your system has
become a little confused on what it should use. Just about every system has
multiple options built into it for audio, video, various controllers, etc.,
so it's possible that your system lost track of the one it's supposed to use
and 'switched' over to a different one, causing the problems you're now
having with your sound. If that's the case, installing the right one should
repair the issue completely. But place some emphasis on the word 'should'
in that last sentence. lol
The file will be downloaded as "wdm3516b_Cadenza.exe". All you need to do
is to run it and it will put itself where it needs to go.
Peace,
Gman
