Re: Sound Drivers

I just installed the latest driver and now the sound qulity is notso good as before even i ddint change anything in my realteck manger. I dont know if it counts but I my windows is installing automatically another driver HD audio device but I dont think that matter since I have that disabled and even uninstalled once just to see if affects the quality but nothing. About the sound quality I will try to make a descriprton even my english is not 100%:

its like my system is trying to reproduce an rough coarsed acousting sound and my sub sounds are distorted with a tremble. plus anoying scarts and squeakies, screechings when u play for ex a instrumental track

Here some capture
These are my motherboard specs http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Int...1333/#overview

Is this the onboard sound or and addon sound card? Are you installing the driver directly from the vendors website?

Hmm I think is onboard sound card Thse are my motherboard specifications ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P5GC-MX/1333. Yeah I downloaded the driver from realtek

bout the sound quality I will try to make a descriprion even my english is not 100%

Looks like from your device manager image you have a second high def sound device which has not been installed properly, perhaps missing proper drivers. This may be a product of your video card having high def capabilities, so double check and make sure you address that issue by either updating and installing the proper drivers for the device, uninstalling (removing it from the system if add on sound card) the device or disabling the device to insure that it is not in some manner contributing to your current issue.

Additionally, right click the "Windows Speaker" (not the Realtek Speaker) in the notification area (bottom right near clock) and choose Playback devices and confirm that you have the correct device selected as the default playback device and make sure that your speakers are configured properly and that you have selected properly from the options (Stereo, 5.1 Surround, etc.,) in respect to what you are actually using.

Nope in that image I disabled that hd audio device but now I have enabled it again but I don see any difference. I even uninstalled it but did not solved my problem. As of update Ive tried to upadate it from device manager but it says its up to date.and BTW I think this is installed automatically by windows.

I have the right playback device Realtek and my speakers are configured properly 5.1

Anyway ive run this software driver scanner and it said that High definition audio device is outdated. Can I rely on this?

I'm assuming that you have a 64 bit system. Here is where you should be downloading your drivers from.

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P5GC-MX/1333

Check your audio, chipset and BIOS driver versions against what you have installed and update accordingly. Sometimes with new hardware, the old version of the BIOS may be the cause of some system glitches and a BIOS update will fix that. Be forewarned!!!! If not done right you can brick your system...ie make it a nice big paper weight. Now that being said, Asus has really simplified the process. This link should give you some insight on the how to's.

BIOS update guide for ASUS notebooks

Ive check those downloads too but those versions are inferior to what i have installed.Hmm Do i need to download and installed all those BIOS stuff.How to be sure what to install and what not to ? I have windows 7 32 bits system. Hhmm Im not so willing to try to update the BIOS if ist not quite simple or if Im not sure this is the problem and Im not so knowledgeble in most of the computer stuffs.
That guide is for notebooks?

PS : I tried to uninstalled that HD audio driver again. After restarting windows tried to reinstalled it again but I giot the warning that it was not successfully installed. I think its an issue here.

Interesting, because typically when I disable a device in Device Manager, it is reflected by a White Circle with a downward pointing error, not a yellow triangle yield shield with an exclamation mark in it as in your case.
Anyway, that latest driver for your Realtek HD Audio can be obtained here.

you Might have been right about that being not properly installed . i tried to uninstalled it again and after restarting windows tried to installed it again but I got the warning message that it was not succesfully installed. Niow i have that warning sign in device manager again.However that dissaperas after another restart.
Yea that is the place from where I dowanloaded the realtec driver.

Heeeeeeeeelppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!
