[punisher100]

hi guys having problems with my sound when im in a game the sound cuts out so i come out of the game and the sound returns :confused: i have onboard sound its a realtek 7.1 ac 97 (i think) just wondered if i should attempt to uninstall the driver for it? if i do where can i download the latest driver, have realtek got them on thier web page?

thanks guys :(

Dunno if it'll help... but have a look on this (http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True) page ;)

These (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php?part=1&kind=3&CHIP=3&ID=1) might help as well :D

As it's on board, you need to look on your motherboard maker site for drivers as different makers inplement it differently.
I had no end of problems with on board AC97 so I disabled it and brought a soundblaster Audidy card which absulutly rocks.

hello mate thanks for finding that info!

do you personally think that uninstalling the sound driver and installing the same one but from that msi page might be a good idea?

by the way the problems intermittant it seems to be fine at the mo? :confused: These (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php?part=1&kind=3&CHIP=3&ID=1) might help as well :D

No, I don't think we do.

I have three boards with AC97; the only one that still has it is only used for work.
