Hi all.
I am not sure this question belongs here, nevertheless, I'll try.
I didn't want to throw away my old Win7 computer with an MSI 1366 Mo-Bo/24 GB memory, so I made it into an experimental computer. Long story short, I upgraded the processor to an x5680 Xeon and reinstalled win7. Then, from my win10 computers I wanted a Home Theater installation into an AV receiver that has only audio inputs (no HDMI). This didn't work, since from Vista on, Microsoft has only stereo outputs for audio. Back to the 1366 computer, out was win7, installed XP64/SP2 because it's the last Windows that can be configured for audio 5.1/7.1 output. However, even SP2 doesn't have Blu-ray drivers. There is a patch file that Microsoft issued later, but since then they took it off their site. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD GET THIS FILE FROM?
You may also wonder why I want audio inputs into my old receiver, which many consider obsolete. Yeah, I have another receiver that has HDMI, however, I want COMPLETE control over audio, which is not possible via HDMI, since one is relegated to the controls/configuration of the receiver. I have a sound card that has real equalizers, as opposed to the flimsy discrete frequency imitation equalizers in an HDMI receiver's menu. Yeah, I could combine these equalizers with the regular bass/treble controls, but still can't nearly get what I want. I am a highly trained musician with and extremely discriminating hearing, so I need to correct sound and obtain as much fidelity as possible.
Thanks to anyone who knows where I can find that Blu-ray driver file. S.
