= SUMMARY =

This article discusses video and audio drivers that are compatible with Microsoft DirectX version 5.0.

= MORE INFORMATION =

DirectX is designed to be compatible with all existing audio and video drivers, including those drivers that do not contain DirectX acceleration features. With the exception of damaged drivers, DirectX 5.0 is compatible with non-DirectX drivers and drivers created for earlier versions of DirectX. However, drivers created specifically for DirectX 5.0 provide the best performance.

If the video or audio driver you have does not work with DirectX 5.0, select an alternative driver, or a different version of the driver. Video and audio drivers are available from your video and audio adapter manufacturer.
