Realtek issues with Windows 7

Hi, my Acer machine came pre-bundled with Windows Vista, i used it for a year and then came to XP SP3, which i used until a week ago when i did a clean install of windows 7 ultimate.

Now i am having issues with Windows 7 and realtek. Whenever i play ANY kind of sound on my computer it makes a buzz/ fuzzy noise alongside the sound being played.

i have tried:

• re-installing driver and software from realtek website
• updating BIOS

but still my issue persists.
NOTE that i can play music when i uninstall the realtek driver. it is buzz free but it is however at low sound and low quality.

Need any more details? Please ask.

i have attached a dxdiag report and a recording of a tune being played (only 91.5 KB) so you can understand what i am talking about.

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

That is either a codec issue or badly installed drivers.

this has nothing to do with codecs. its the fact that the drivers are having an incompatibility with windows 7. figuring out what it actually is, is the hardest problem.

as for drivers, i have already reinstalled drivers thrice and not once does it work.

These are the latest drivers .Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version Are they the ones you are using?

I have same problem with Realtek drivers!!

yes i did (at least three times)

Did you run it twice? The initial set-up removes the installed drivers, then you must do a restart and run the set-up again to get the new drivers installed. Check your device manager and see what drivers and version you have installed.

if im smart enough to update the bios then surely i am smart to realise that the installer uninstalls the current version before the new version (as it said so on the front screen of the installer)

Good luck! I am sure being friendly is your greatest asset.

i apologise dearly for that. if you try to understand my situation, you would be setting your cat on fire. after i pay £80 for an os that i had been anticipating for months and i am forced to suffer when it comes to audio playback. i am seriously at odds at what to do.

anyone i ask for help is treating me like newbie which i am not.
sorry for that again, can you help.

Peace offerings
