    Hello people,

    I bought my Aspire notebook a few weeks ago and after messing around with Vista I decided to replace Vista with XP. But since then I can't get the sound working the way it did before I formated. I tryed everything including driver replacement, update, and even installing the Vista HD 889 sound drivers but still nothing. Everytime I ran a sound file only the left front and back speakers are working 100% the rest work roughly around 20%.

    If anyone has faced this problem before and found the solution please help....

    Thanks,

    Jim

    Did you guys install the Empowering Technology?
    It had to do with Acer eAudio Management or Acer HD Audio Manager.
    Make sure your laptop have Acer eAudio Management or Acer HD Audio Manager.
