That might have been true with older OS, but it's no longer the case with Vista Audio.

No, its a hardware thing.

I dont give a stuff how "Clever" you think Vista is, when you plug headphones into the front panel, the rear speaker get physically disconnected... There is no way on earth that Vista is clever enough to re-wire itself.

If you can hear fron both the front and the rear ports, then you have it wired up either wrong or the ports are wired up like that.

There is no difference in ANY OS about that... If it plays in Vista one way, then it will also play in Windows 95 the same way... It will either work or it wont work. Its hardware and not software and they are either physically connected and you will hear something or they are not and you wont.

Its got sod all to do with Vista being clever.

the new HD audio onboard sound uses a different system so you can set it to use main speakers and headphones, or disable the main speakers when headphones are connected. its all done through direct audio now, no analog disconnections, i have to turn off my speakers when i have my headphones connected as it doesnt pick up when there connected or not, they still work tho

Well, ok fair enough... If its not using the Analog Audio then thats kind of explained it a little.

Im a little surprised by that.

If you aren't getting any problems then there's no reason that you "should" upgrade.

I upgraded from F7 to F10 and, apart from another memory timing BIOS option (that I have no need for), I haven't noticed a difference.
 
haven't gone through the whole thread...

just wondering any other people had the problem with the DS4 where when they boot, fans would spin etc, but then it would just cut out, then reboot by itself again, but again just cut out, and keep doing this?

Try the latest beta BIOS (F9D). It solved the issue for atleast one person.

I had the same issue on my DS3P (yup I know you said DS4) I found that by doing a CMOS clear it then booted fine.
 
stock speed question

i'm currently running e4300 & gigabyte965p -s3 @stock speeds

i've just noticed for the first time that on tick over the clock speed is reducing from 1.8ghz to 1.2ghz and when a poerful application starts up it reverts to 1.8ghz.

suprisingling if i play an HD movie it still stays at 1.2

what is this feature called and can it be disabled in bios if necessary

It's called Speedstep and Eist in the BIOS.

How viable is it to enable this with an OC'd CPU? I have my [email protected] on stock voltage, , with a view to take it to 2.8, possibly 3.0 when the paste on my AC 7 Pro cures some time this week. I disabled the Speedstep and EIST after reading that it can lower the voltages a bit too much ( 1.15v@ idle if I remember correctly ).

Some sources said this would be fine for the reduced idle speeds. Opinions? I like having the extra oomph when Im gaming or encoding, but if I could tone it down when Im just surfing or sitting idle, I'd very much like to do so. I have the f10 bios.

You dont use it when you are clocking.

The only real use of it is to save on Power ( Like as if Clockers give a stuff about the planet or electricity bills? )
or for keeping it quiet ( Cos they cant be bothered buying a proper case that will help keep it cool anyway and there fore make it silent. )

Seriously though... No, its silly to have it on when over-clocking.
