My first driver update was from HP and was specific to their motherboards. The second was a general Realtek ac'97 update. I found it here: http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/Realtek-AC-97-WDM-Driver-Windows-98-Me-2000-XP-2003-/3000-2120_2-10501051.html?tag=lst-5-5
No bass and treble? Check out the equalizer in Multi-Channel Sound Manager. Also check out any equalizers that may be running in your playback software. Maybe the gain in an equalizer is turned up to high. ----- Original Message ----- From: "paul faucheux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list." <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 9:39 AM Subject: RE: Re: real tech sound quality issues >i have tryed the windows mixer and it sounds the same where did you get >your driver updates! so that i might be able to find them! it occurs all >the time! and there is no bass or treble! > > ---------------------------------------- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: real tech sound quality issues >> Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 23:12:01 -0700 >> >> Paul.
