    First of all I want to say hi and thanks to all :) . Despite this being my first post I've been using this forum a lot and it's full of useful!

    I have an Aspire 6930G and I used Vista 32bit for some time without any problems but I decided to try Windows 7 64bit and everything went fine except the sound. I downloaded the drivers for this version of windows straight from the Acer site (Realtek version 6.0.1.5888) and the sound is fine almost every time but sometimes it goes all weird and starts making a lot of noise. I've tried to delete all the sound drivers from device manager and installing them again and it happens just the same thing after a while.
    Any advice on how to solve this?

    Thanks in advance!

    The Windows 7 audio driver for the 6930 series is not good. I use the one for Vista! It works much better. So, download the Vista-driver instead of the Windows 7-driver, and run it in compatibility settings for Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Then it should work!

    I hope I could help. :)

    Kind Regards powerfull499

    some say 'good old acer support', others tell the truth :rolleyes:
    do they not test any of these drivers before they release them :confused:
    why release a new driver that doesnt work when the old works fine :confused:
    its the same for some of the 6920 drivers for my 6920

    That's true. What's the point in releasing a driver for a OS if it doesn't work properly :confused:
