Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

Win7 RealTek HD failure with DVD

DFI Mobo with RealTek ALC885 HD on-board, Win 7 loaded last week. Using Gigabyte graphic 1G card (nVidia 9600GT) w/built in HDMI. Audio and video of sample files that came pre-loaded with Win7 or since accessed from the Internet look/sound great on HDMI playback. DVD video perfect using WMC or 3rd party player. But sound was a loud screaching sound from all playback packages, would make a great alarm! Again, ONLY on DVD playback. Audio disks or PVCD disks played fine. Updated RealTek drivers to 11/2 version - screach still there in WMC, but 3rd party packages now have no audio at all. Ripped a DVD and only 1 of 3 ripper packages produced a file that PowerDVD could play w/sound. So the audio stream is coming through or I couldn't be ripping it and playing back. Just want to play a basic DVD. Same lack of output on blu-ray. Using Lite-On iHES208 SATA drive.

Suggestions?

Hi all.

Does anybody know, if this Realtek driver (R2.37) does enable DTS interactive on a GA-MA78GM-S2H (rev. 1.1) with onboard ALC889A HD?
It was available in Vista. But the driver included in W7 dows not offer this option.

New Drivers Still Problems

I just downloaded the new drivers and still having troubles trying to get my microphone to work. I apologize if this is hijacking a thread or the wrong place to post this issue. I have a Intel Desktop Board DG965WH.

Well i couldnt setup my microphone that worked with the last driver. Driver has microphone issues id say xD. As much as i can see there are no enhancements what so ever.

Well i pluged my mic in front panel and it works again .With rear panel all i got was static lawl.

I tried putting mine on the front panel and it didn't work either. This is seriously a headache because I use skype for conf calls a lot. It's almost worth it to buy a new sound card almost geesh.

I have the same board, with 237 drivers, and have options for DTS, but not DTS interactive. I can simply turn it on or off.

This works great for video's that I am playing that are encoded for 5.1, It puts the proper channel output through the optical into my receiver. Works great.

Non-encoded stereo does not work properly. My center channel is output to my left channel. All Voices come out the left channel. Can't figure out what's going on, if it's a bug, or a setting.

If I move the balance to -3, towards the left, I get voice out of the right channel. If I keep pushing balance to the left, the actual balance does not go left, it goes, left, right, left, right, and finally all right, with the balance all the way to the left. Which is backwards..

Thanks for your answer racerx8413. I will test it and report my stereo experience.

Did Stereo work without problems in Vista?

I am still trying to see if this issue with my microphone is hardware or more driver related but I can't find any answers and it is tilting me.

I installed 2.37 and DTS interactive seems to work fine.
Dolby Digital 5.1 is transferred via DTS to my receiver, while the volume keys of the MCE remote keep working. That was my intension. I disabled DTS connect, which upscales stereo to 7.1, to keep stereo as stereo.

Maybe this causes your symptoms.

Speaker fill option on new driver is totaly same as old one. No change at all.

Any new ideas how to get full 5.1 in Aimp2 ?

Hello all, just installed 7 today, dual booting from a seperate HDD with XP. Never had Vista.
Here is the problem. I had no sound at all from front or rear in 7, however after installing the latest drivers from Abit, properly, I now have rear channel only. There is no sound at all from the front speakers. There is no option to control the F/R volumes independently, as there is in XP's version.
I was downloading the latest from Realtek, but just noticed the dl timed out(after about 1 hr and 75% ) I'll try again from another mirror. I'm hoping this will fix this problem, as both front and rear channels work in XP.

Hello,

so is there any way to have equalizer and not this "so called equalizer" with this driver?


Thank you.

 

[Ayce1955]

Got things working right. Had to uninstall the drivers completely and reinstall the drivers. Also, I switched to 7.1 in the speaker config screen, and found my front speakers were connected to the side channels. Plugged the front speakers into the right jack, and now all is fine. I didn't see that till after I reinstalled the Realtek 2.37 drivers.

Is the latest driver still really quiet and lackluster? I want win7 back but not with the shockingly bad sound quality and volume i had on it before

Is that why my new head phones sound like crap? They sound great on my MP3 and I-Pod. I cant seam to find any adjustments to improve the sound. My IDT audio control panel does nothing either.

Does anyone here have the Audio jack configuration program that comes with the realtek drivers? I installed em an msconfig says it start up but i got nothing :S
