Realtek, Windows 7 64RTM Crackle/static/popping

Same place, just look for x64 driver for Vista/7. Around 30MB, not 55MB.

do you know where direct download is? The only one I'm finding is the mediafire link

You should never get drivers from anywhere but the manufacturer. Google Realtek. Then in the products or download section.

Oh, dude, of course I got the drivers from the Realtek site. I was referring to the drivers to turn Pull Mode Off which have helped many on here. I am currently running latest drivers from Realtek 2.39 for win7 64.

Realtek

64-bits driver only.

Well I'm still waiting on Realtek to fix this issue in the driver. After two updates in a row it seems to still be an issue. Like I said, I have tried many of the fixes on this board and nothing has worked so far. I'm going to take a little break from the board but will be in touch over the weekend if anyone comes up with anything. Thanks for everyone's support!

Dude, thanks but that was one of the first things i tried

Because people are having problems with other brands of audio devices as well it probably is Microsofts problem and Windows 7. I can't imagaine NO drivers designed for W7 would work right. So that IMO makes it microsofts problem. For me a game, fancy screen saver and sometimes hibernation mode tends to trigger this dang nab problem.

Does anybody know if Microsoft knows about these problems? I can't even find a phone number, message board, or email address to complain. I could wait a couple months if they could just fix it. I just hate how there is really no support from them.

Someone on another board said he never had a problem with windows 7s audio even on the older pre release versions. He said I should probably RMA it, he thinks it might be the motherboard. Well I'm gonna do a system restore and if that doesn't fix it I'm sending it in.

I was looking at your specs and looked up your board. GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Specification - GA-EP43-DS3L (rev. 1.0) Could you change your motherboard model name in your specs? It would be easier to find.

I also notice there is a new bios F9e 2009/09/03 1. Beta bios
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - BIOS - GA-EP43-DS3L (rev. 1.0)

And there are Win 7 64 bit drivers for your board.
