fair enough, strange one though lack of driver maybe? after oct 22nd might be some new ones from your laptop provider

Not my laptop, it's the realtek HD on my DS3.

have you got the latest drivers from realtek (google : majorgeeks realtek hd vista)

Last time I updated was about 10 days ago, not had the opportunity to look again since, why would I use majorgeeks instead of getting them direct from Realtek or Gigabyte, are they modded?

surely just a driver or a config setting, win7 has a lot more options than xp did with sound and so on

in what way is it actually worse?

gigabyte probably have older drivers, realtek site is mega slow

mj just have fast mirrors

not modded

Windows 7 has a new audio subsystem which operates at a much higher quality rate than XP so it should actually sound much better than any previous OS!
