Windows 7 Gigabyte ga ep45 ud3p Choppy Audio

[geekmaster1]

I'm trying to figure out why i'm getting choppy audio on windows 7 and vista but not os x or linux when EIST is enabled.
I turn EIST off and im fine. the choppy audio ia on all audio devices. is it a problem with the way windows translates my motherboard's EIST?

I have the GA EP 43 ud3l motherboard and our boards uses the same audio driver. Gigabyte released a new Vista/Windows 7 driver on 08/10/09. Not sure if you have rev. 1.0 or rev. 1.1, but the driver is the same.

Find it here: GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - Driver - GA-EP45-UD3P (rev. 1.0)
Then scroll to the bottom of page and select your OS. Download from Asia, as it's the fastest speed.
