Realtek HD audio - tried everything - still :(

[sysctl]

I have an onboard Realtek HD audio device, which I have installed many drivers for, including the latest released as per the sticky thread. I have changed the speaker settings to all available options. Basically, I have tried every option I could think of. But, I still have playback issues where everything has a sort of popping/static sound to my mp3 and movie files.

Laptop is an Acer 5050-3785. I had no problems in previous builds with my sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am close to wiping 7057, and reverting back to 7048, but really don't want to do that.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi sysctl,

Don't forget that W7 is still in Beta, and that a bug fix in version 7048 might unwittingly release new bugs in 7057.

Are you by any chance using any audio enhancement like SRS AUDIO SANDBOX or similar?

I know this question may sound strange, but are you using the same sata and/or ide drivers as when you had 7048? When I had Vista, I had a similar issue which traced back to the Via drivers I was using. Scratchy, popping, freezing audio and then sometimes it was ok. Try playing an mp3 from a flash stick if you have one.

No, I wasn't using any sort of enhancement.

The SATA driver is the same as 7048 AFAIK. I will certainly keep that in mind if I have any problems with future build upgrades.

However, for the time being, I did a clean install of 7048 last night. The audio problem, coupled with the intermittent connection issues plus the inability of 7057 to recognize a printer on my network cause me to go ahead and downgrade. I appreciate the help nonetheless.
