Greatest thing so far with 7

[JColt]

I have the realtek 7.1 surround sound chipset. On XP and Vista it was always a p.i.t.a to set up. Install driver, re install driver and hunt for the right checkmark to select. I installed 7 the other day and sound worked great right out of the box.

I know I think sound support has been improved so much from Vista but XP for me had really good audio.

I never had Vista, just XP, and sound is great in 7 compared to XP.
