All that is is the release notes, that is not the driver. You need to download the first one (83751k), that is the driver file.
Stormy--if I interpret his writing correctly, he downloaded the zipped version of the one you referred to---the one beneath the readme, not the readme itself.
Have you turned off all special effects (reverb, equalizer, etc)?
Have you experimented with different settings under "default format"--something other than DVD quality, 16 bit, 48000k?? I have heard recently of this having a noticeable effect on playback quality.
I am using 16 bit, CD quality, 44100 Hz and have no issues.
Do you have Packard Bell iMedia XS series 4242 desktop?? Your specs don't mention XS series, but I can't find a 4242 in the regular iMedia series.
If so, I wonder if you have the right driver?
Looking at Packard Bell UK website:
Support Download
and then navigating to XS iMedia 4242, I come to the link in the pic below.
Note that you cannot choose Windows 7 32 bit at that link. Only 64 bit.
Note that it also says "this page shows only drivers that are not contained in Windows 7".
Note that XP and Vista have a red X which I assume means no drivers available. I certainly don't see any.
I take the above to mean that Packard Bell has no 32 bit drivers for audio on Windows 7 for this PC.
Can you post the link at Realtek where you found the drivers that you recently downloaded??
Hi Bling
Could you post a snip of your playback devices? Not the configuration but just the window that opens up showing the playback devices
Regards
Have you set the Realtek as the default playback device? As long as the Logitech headset (USB no doubt, which if it is doesn't use the onboard audio at all) is set as the default you won't be able to use or configure your speakers.
