Исторический обзор
Фирма VIA Technologies создана в 1992 году в результате реорганизации американской Symphony Company. Офис Very Innovative Architecture Technologies с руководством, менеджерами, ведущими инженерами и другими сотрудниками переехал в Тайбэй на Тайване. Компания занялась разработкой чипсетов и центральных процессоров.
В 1996 — 1997 годах увидели свет майкрософтовский DirectSound API с поддержкой многоканального звука и аппаратным ускорением аудио и интеловская спецификация Analog Codec’97 с поддержкой 8 каналов 48 кГц/20 бит или 2 каналов 96 кГц/20 бит. Приобретя в 1999 году компании Cyrix, Centaur, а в 2000 году S3 Graphics, VIA Technologies заняла место на рынке микропроцессоров и наборов системной логики с интегрированными графическими чипами. Альтернативные чипсеты с поддержкой памяти SDRAM для процессоров Intel Pentium III и Intel Pentium 4, а также AMD Athlon создали серьезную конкуренцию наборам системной логики от Интел с поддержкой ОЗУ RAMBUS RDRAM.
В 2004 году создана Intel High Definition Audio Specification. Intel HD Audio обслуживает до 8 аудио каналов (7.1 и менее) с частотой дискретизации 96 кГц и разрядностью выборки 32 бит, или 2 стерео канала 192 кГц/32 бита. Среди факторов позитивно влияющих на качество звука: широкий динамический диапазон ЦАП и АЦП, улучшенное соотношение сигнал-шум, низкие интермодулярные искажения и неравномерность АЧХ.
Успешно устранив несовместимость с видеокартами AGP и выпустив свое интегрированное аудио решение Envy, VIA Technologies процветала. Множество ПК со встроенным VIA Envy24 PCI Audio Sound System сегодня честно служат своим владельцам, которым периодически требуется скачать VIA Audio Drivers для Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP (32-бит и 64-бит). Процветание VIA Technologies продолжалось до выхода набора системной логики nForce для процессоров Athlon.
Создание кодека VIA Vinyl HD Audio с качественным объемным звучанием в формате аудио высокой четкости позволило VIA Technologies закрепиться на рынке интегрированного аудио. Сегодня миллионы компьютеров, ноутбуков и нетбуков оснащены звуковой подсистемой на базе VIA Vinyl HD Audio, и не уменьшается количество желающих скачать драйвер VIA HD Audio бесплатно, в частности, VIA Vinyl HD Audio Driver version 10.1200A.

VT1618
As consumers increasingly use their PCs as multimedia tools, immersing them in a world of home entertainment options that please the ear and challenge the imagination, audio has become a primary feature in the modern PC. Increased use of the PC for audio playback, recording, and data transfers mean the expected performance and connection interfaces are continually expanding. Continuing VIA’s leadership in providing high quality Audio solutions, the VIA Vinyl VT1618 is another step in the audio revolution with a leading combination of high audio fidelity and a premium feature set.
Benefits of VIA Vinyl VT1618
High audio performance : The VIA VT1618 has a 20-bit architecture and a variable sampling rate with 1Hz resolution. Supports up to 20-bit/96kHZ analog I/Os, and 16-bit/96kHZ digital I/Os.
Feature rich design : Hardware downmix option allows 8-channel performance in 2 channel outputs, and a stereo enhancement feature provides a 3D sound experience.
Wide array of connections: The VIA Six-TRAC provides 8-channel outputs fully supporting surround sound applications, along with 5 stereo and 2 mono inputs.
Easy to integrate: A small footprint 48-pin LQFP package with low power consumption that exceeds Microsoft ® WHQL logo requirements.
Description
The VIA Vinyl VT1618 Audio Codec is a high-end audio codec that features up to 20-bit resolutions, 96kHZ sampling rates, 8-channel outputs, and also complies with AC’97 revision 2.3. The VIA Vinyl VT1618 supports DualMax™ hardware down-mixing allowing end users to enjoy 6-channel audio with 2-channel or 4-channel speakers. To maximize recording quality for home studio applications the VIA VT1618 integrates 20-bit, Sigma-Delta ADCs for stereo recording and white noise removal. The analog mixer circuitry integrates a stereo enhancement to provide a pleasing 3D surround sound effect for stereo media. A high-quality headphone amplifier is integrated into the VIA VT1618, reducing BOM cost and design time.
To make set-up as easy as possible, the VIA VT1618 provides innovative Sixth-Sense™ jack detection enabling maximum flexibility in configuring customized audio set-ups. For the user this will mean a simple process of connecting an audio device (recording or playback) to any jack, and then the VIA VT1618 will automatically detect the device. The user can then configure the correct I/O to the jack in use. This maximizes ease of use for the user, and reduces help requests. The VIA VT1618 also integrates Silent Slide-Bar which elimates distortion when adjusting volume, and Clean-ON technology which eliminates annoying “pops” when the PC is powered on/off.
To fill out the solution VIA offers a stylish easy to use driver with the VIA VT1618 that enables full access to all of its wide range of features. The driver also includes full 3D Immerzio gaming support through Sensaura technology, to enable a new level of gaming support in an AC’97 solution.
Target markets for the VIA VT1618 include Audio on Motherboard solutions in combination with chipset South Bridges or in combination with VIA’s Envy24PT audio controller. The VIA VT1618 also has broad appeal in the soundcard market, especially when combined with VIA’s leading line of Envy24 audio controllers.

Driver & Support FAQs
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about VIA products; please click on the section below you would like more information on.
If you are looking for technical support, please visit here.
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.
