Well I've just remembered that I've seen settings fail to stick in the past when running other software. That's usually a permissions issue and running an application with admin rights usually sorts it out. However in the case of sound card drivers - it's unclear to me. Did you use an admin account to install the driver? Or do you have any software restriction policies in place? Did you install the driver from a file downloaded to your desktop or did you download it and run the installer from somewhere else?
Are you talking about the build in administrator account in windows 7?
No. I'm talking about right clicking on the driver installer and choosing "Run as administrator" assuming that you have admin rights or else know the password.
2 different systems, same problem... Realtek drivers suck.
I managed to solve this by uninstalling the realtek drivers completely from my system. I have installed DFX instead, and the sound quality is superior to realtek and it works regardless of whether I am playing games, listening to music or watching a movie.
Yes.. to be avoided at all costs.
