I never do an upgrade, I learned from experience. The MS drivers are tuned for speed and stability, but their lawyers rule the roost since Bill left, so their drivers are always crippled as to not infringe on anything that might make money down the rode. Thus hobbled audio and no UAC2 support...

LoL.. sheeples.. Xbox+metro= multiple platform support = phones that become the laptops (docking) = app store = revenue channel. They thought this through while they were high on cocaine and champagne like every good corporate meeting. It will take a awhile for competitors to build placement...

That is because you are hooked up to your TV. I have a Bravia Sony and it has bad EDID. It reports itself as capable of only 2 channel stereo. There is a whole mess of forums hidden around explaining how to edit and correct the EDID on the TV so it reports more channels on hdmi. There is a...

Ok, you forgot to give me the hardware ID again.. So this is a shot in the dark again... You were so close... All you had to do was go to "Intel Display Audio" in the device manager, right click, select "properties" then select "details" tab, use the drop down box on the page to select "Hardware...

*sigh* I don't mind helping you but this is what you said in the begining "I upgraded from W7 to Windows 8 last week and have since watched movies and played music from my laptop via my Samsung LCD TV which is connected by optical cable to my 5.1 Samsung surround sound." I assumed your...

HDMI digital out finally works correctly with these latest drivers, but not perfect. It makes the digital audio on the HDMI work right but it sacrifices the analog audio, as I get crackles on my analogue audio now. I am fairy sure this is some kind of HDAUDIO power saving feature where it turns...

Ok here is what you do... disconnect your hdmi cables (i.e. use the laptop screen) log into an administrator account download the following links to an easy to find place open the folder up and do thi 1) install this first...

To help you further I would need to know the exact model number of your lap microwaver. Such as - NP700Z5C-S03UK , it should be on the bottom.... It looks like they used RealTek audio chips in those boards In that case here is your sound drivers to restore your dolby digital back...

Petea, I understand what your saying, seen this happen many times. Especially via upgrade path. Please note I take no responsibility for your actions, I am only providing my advice for free since it's a holiday and I have holiday blues. So, to get started. I am assuming you are running as a...

The default sound drivers (the generic ones) that come with a freshly installed windows 8 are probably the best. The truth is that audio drivers haven't changed much in the last 20 years. Underneath it is all the same software, it's just repackaged with new layers to interact with kernel timers...

Just wanted to add one more thing so you don't have to go hunting else where. Uninstall K-Lite and AC3 filter as you don't need them at all. AC3 Filter was designed to decode AC3 streams to multiple analog out or stereo. Your dealing with digital stream out which completely bypasses all the...

I don't want speak badly about upgrade paths but MS does this every time they have board meetings to hash out the upgrade path and pricing index. They have a huge development team that decides what features stay and what features disappear. Sometimes it's by accident, most the time it's for more...
