Win 7 64 Bit - Volume Way To Low

PsychoPigeon · 7 Jul 2011 at 11:02

Operating System: Windows 7 64-Bit
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD53
Driver: Realtek HD Audio
Headset: Creative HS-800

Everything is 100% full volume, I've tried switching between different qualities, reinstall drivers. It's always keeping the same low volume. I didn't have any problem using the onboard sound on my old Gigabyte motherboard. I did a search on google for sound issues involving my motherboard but came up with nothing relative.

There are loads of people who have had this issue with Windows 7, but what's fixed it for them such as changing the quality to DVD quality, has had no effect on my problem.

Could anyone share some suggestions?

What Realtek drivers are you using?

- Realtek High Definition Audio Driver 6.0.1.6363 2011-06-02
- Realtek 2011/6/17

You could try one of these, but I don't know if they'll solve your problem.

Tried those drivers, the volume is still the same. I was using the drivers that came with the motherboard originally.

Downloaded the 3dguru drivers, still no result.

Hooked up the front audio jacks, still same volume.

Tried setting your audio to simple but effective stereo and nothing fancy like 5.1/7.1 etc?

it's always on stereo

So i notice on my motherboard product description it says ' - 8 Channel HD Audio with THX TruStudio Pro ' which is creative. Does it matter I'm trying to use Realtek audio drivers? I went onto the Creative website but it doesn't have driver links. The audio drivers that are on the disk did install Realtek so I guess it's not a problem.
