Realtek, Windows 7 64RTM Crackle/static/popping

I've had this problem with every x64 build of Windows 7 on my Asus M4a79 Deluxe.

The fix was to go into the sound properties for the audio, go to levels, and mute the PC speaker.

As soon as I did this, all of the squealing stopped. Hope it works for you, too

Just installed 2.32

Sounds better, but I still experience some crackle :/

Guess I'll have to wait for 2.33 >:[

are you sure? cause i still having the problem..
R2.32 still not fixes for me..

Yea i went to acer website and got the vista driver installed that and had the same crackling i then installed the .32 new dirvers over my existing ones and it works fine. You are rebooting twice like it says to install properly right?

Well i downloaded the latest one, released today i think and the crackling is gone so its good so far.

you should wait like a day or so... unfortunately, after the installation it seems to be OK, but after a couple of days, you get all the noise again...
But I'll (of course) give them a go

Couldn't find the PC speaker in levels... ?

2.32 is working perfect so far :) normally i can hear the pops and crackles right away

Not for me the past few drivers have crackled straiht away.

day 2 and still no problem, good job realtek.. finally

Why Realtek hates me? :/

Well the crackling came back but only when i play music and open internet and do something demanding like java or whatever it comes back. I close the internet restart itunes and the music is fine again =/
