As expected, Sonic Focus has made new SoundMax® BlackHawk drivers available for both x86 and x86-64 architectures. The newer drivers, versioned at 4.1, resolve all outstanding issues and can be downloaded directly from Sonic Focus' support page. I expect ASUS, everybody's favorite motherboard manufacturer, to catch up in about a year's time.

The following hardware IDs fall under the SoundMax® BlackHawk SKU:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_11D4&DEV_198B&SUBSYS_1043829C
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_11D4&DEV_198B&SUBSYS_1043829B

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_11D4&DEV_989B&SUBSYS_10438334

The following hardware IDs fall under the SoundMax® Basic SKU
(not supported in this driver set, wait for the basic drivers):

    How long is “soon” for AnalogDevices/Sonic Focus? It’s now a long time the drivers are buggy and eating memory like ambrosia. People with 1986 chipset are the cheap customers for this guys? Every day a new driver for 1988 customers, nothing for 1986. Next time I will look for a Realtek sound chip. This drivers are refreshed quite on regular basis. Not this 6 month support nightmare a’la AD/SF…

    @Frank: Are you using that older chipset on Windows Vista? Have you confirmed this leaking issue exists in that driver set too? Let me know and I’ll run this up the chain in a heartbeat.

    Yes I’m using the 1986 chipset. Same issues with this drivers. My highest handles count was 1800000 for audiodg.exe. :(

    Thank you for posting this info.

    It seems there is no solution yet? That was my last Asus mainboard and definitely my last Analog Devices device.
