After reformatting and installing Windows 7 and downloading the very latest drivers my sound not only worked, it was the best sound I have ever heard from my system. Windows 7 also found my MATROX TripleHead2Go and adjusted the display accordingly, plus doing the same for ARMA II, COD 4 Modern...

Hi all, I'm new to windows 7 and want to know more about it.I've been a loyal xp user for ages and never used vista before.I'm a gamer and I prioritize game performance very much with as much eye candy options if possible.The reason I want to try windows 7 is to see whether the dx10/11 will...

So, I have a Sony HT-SS360 Home Theater System that's connected to the computer's optical output. When I run a test to see what sampling rates are supported, I get full surround sound as the Windows is playing sound through all 5 speakers. Once I'm playing a movie in VLC and select S/PDIF, the...

I have an HTPC setup and use the coaxial output on my computer for 5.1 surround sound. Worked fine when using XP, but since the switch to 7 I haven't been able to get it to work. All my other sound is fine. I was thinking it might have something to do with AC3 because the icon for AC3 used to...

I figure here is a good place to put this, if not, please move it to a more appropriate forum. The only problem I've had with Vista and now with 7 is the sound. I'm sure 98% of others are able to look past it and get on with what seems like a great OS. I have an on-board sound card and 5.1...

I would go download the latest build off a torrent, but I'm lazy and will just wait til I know for sure my surround sound will work in it. Anyone think the RC build will fix a lot of the hardware issues? The only problem I have with W7 Build 7000 is that my onboard surround sound doesn't work...

When I set up my speakers in the control panel everything works fine (you press the speaker you want to test and it plays a test sound) but when I open a music file in Windows Media Player i only get the front left and right speakers to work. Anyone know how to fix this? I've looked in the WMP...

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64 on my XP machine which has realtek audio integrated into its geforce 6100sm-m motherboard. I've installed the latest vista 64 drivers for the audio and checked all the connections, but when attempting to configure in 7's audio configuration only the two main...

For those who play this game, it no doubt works better in Windows 7 than in Vista. It actually works as well as it does in XP. I could only play 20-30 minutes before it would crash in Vista, but was able to run for 3 hours in Windows 7. Go figure. Also, I've discovered that the lack of...
