VIA HD Audio Driver 2021 full offline installer setup for PC 32bit/64bit

VIA HD Audio Driver is an all-in-one sound card driver utility that can prepare your home PC to accurately recognize and fully access all the capabilities offered by your VIA audio hardware. It was created to be used easily by both novices who just want their home PC or laptop to work as intended, and seasoned professionals who are optimizing a large number of PCs for stability and correct use every day.

VIA is one of the largest suppliers of the audio processing chips on the market, and their hardware is being built-in into hundreds of motherboard models each year, reaching a significant percentage of all PC users around the world. However, their audio hardware cannot properly be utilized by your Windows OS if it does not have access to the proper driver – a software package that can help Windows OS to properly detect, communicate, utilize supported audio standards, and take advantage of all audio processing and output capabilities offered by the audio hardware. Windows OS can usually come with some generic and basic audio driver, often without any advanced functions or even capability to output audio in high quality.

VIA HD Audio Driver aims to provide you a one-click solution for the full driver support for a wide array of VIA audio chips.

Installation and Use

Since VIA HD Audio Driver comes with drivers for many supported chipsets, audio codecs, and tools, its installation package is larger than a usual standalone driver for a single specific audio device. Nevertheless, after downloading and starting the installation package that weighs over 100MB, you can easily follow its instructions until all the files are unpacked on your local drive. After starting the Setup application, it will automatically detect your audio hardware and install the corresponding correct driver package to fully unlock its capabilities.

The app cards with installed correct drivers allow users to take full control over all capabilities of sound processing and output. This includes support for managing volume control, reduction of background noise, integration of the external speaker, delay of the audio signal for each sound channel, coordination between audio and video feeds during multimedia playback, support for decoding of various high-quality audio codecs, and much more. All the capabilities of your Audio hardware can be used without limits, no matter if you are operating with small or extremely large audio files, personal work, or business projects.

General Support

Operating System

General Support

RAM & CPUs

Q: How much RAM can I put on my motherboard? Which CPUs can I use?

A: For VIA EPIA and VB motherboards, please select your board from the main menu or for legacy products from the EOL section to check the board specifications. For partner motherboards that feature a VIA chipset, VIA cannot advise you on the maximum RAM, HDD capacity, CPU type or any other compatibility/capability issues with your motherboard as it depends on how the motherboard manufacturer has implemented the chipset. Two motherboards based on the same chipset may have different limits. This information must be obtained from the motherboard manufacturer or the motherboard manual.

Drivers

VIA Hyperion Pro Drivers

The VIA Hyperion Pro drivers contain all of the main platform drivers for VIA chipsets. The current release of these drivers is included in Windows 7, 8, and 10 , so at this time there is no need for a separate VIA Hyperion Pro package that supports these Windows versions. However, as updates occur, a package will be released when needed.

Q: I use a legacy Microsoft Windows desktop operating system (i.e. Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista) and have a problem with a VIA chipset, or integrated graphics driver, or a system with a VIA chipset. Where can I obtain support?

A: Microsoft and VIA no longer provide official updates or support for these legacy operating systems. VIA chipset and graphics drivers released for use with these operating systems are available from our VIA Driver Downloads Portal; however, VIA no longer supports these driver packages.

Q: Where can I obtain a BIOS for my VIA EPIA, VB series or other embedded motherboard?

A: From the main menu highlight the “Boards” tab and select your model, you will find the latest BIOS available for download under the Downloads tab. If your model does not appear in the main menu please look in the EOL section of the website.

Q: Where can I obtain a BIOS for my motherboard? It has a VIA chipset.

A: All BIOS need to be obtained from the motherboard manufacturer’s website, not the chipset manufacturer’s website. For example, if you have an MSI motherboard with a VIA chipset, you need to get your BIOS from MSI, not from VIA.
