    Looks AMD reloaded the v13.1 drivers on their site because they swapped x64 HD Audio driver from x32 and vice versa...but only x64bits have been corrected at this time of the day. This is mainly for Windows 8

    W864a Driver version from 01/17/2013 is atihdw83.sys and the reloaded driver W864a Driver version from 01/21/2013 is atihdw86.sys.

    Amd says it shouldn't be an issue for Windows 7.

    Oops


    Please ignore my last post regarding Unigene performance. I had my OC settings wrong - too low volts - actually suprising 13.1 didnt crash. Will give it another try.

    But 12.11 does not have the HD Audio driver problem, which was still present iin the latest 13.1. This is present in both the device manager, and reduced audio devices in CCC.

    When I go to AMD to download it still shows 01/17/2013 release date. Where is the new one?

    AMD didn't changed the date...and release notes either, but when you DL and install you can see the changed driver inside the folders.

    Encountered an issue so far.
    When playing videos online on youtube so far, sometimes the video might start playing but with a green screen.
    It gets fixed by playing it again. There is also a rare stutter/lag in both video/audio.
    I'll try 13.2 beta and see if it fixes it later when I get home from work.

    Updated yesterday and i think im having a few issues,not sure.
    This happened twice,paused a video (was watching on PC offline) and when i resumed after a few mins...well there was no video,just sound.Had to restart the player. Also the flash player in my browser acts up sometimes (never happened before,just today) and the the browser freezes like its under heavy load,after a few mins i get the message that flash player stopped working. After that i had to close it from the taskbar every time.
