Well, since the sound signature of ALC888 and ALC888S is the same, I'm guessing your ears won't bleed much when listening audio through it :) First, you need to get the latest realtek drivers: http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false And no, MSI drivers aren't better, only outdated. I kinda have to speak with you with faster replying, like fb or something. Hit me up there.
