Windows 7 and Acer 6930G

Hi, wondering if anyone is having a similar issue.

Just got Windows 7, and have installed 64-bit to my Acer Aspire 6930G. I'm having some issues getting the graphics and sound "just so".

Have tried a number of drivers from the Acer website, but I cannot get the Tuba bass thing to play, and the sound is currently pretty bad.

Also working out what Nvidia drivers are the best to use is proving unusually difficult. Windows 7 automatically downloaded some when I first booted, 186.52, are these good to use? They are not available from Nvidia, just 186.51. With either of these drivers I don't seem to have full control over how to scale images, I'm forced to use my display's scaler.

I don't have any of the Acer empowering softwate installed, I tried checking out the Acer website, but I'm having difficulty working out exactly what would be best to use with Windows 7 (or if I should use it any at all.)

Windows 7 seemed to intall drivers for most items, so I don't know what I need to install manually. I no longer have any "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" software, for example, and cannot find this for download either?!

Pretty confused, any help or clarity would be much appreciated! So thanks in advance.

there're all drivers that you need

I have my 6930G with W7 64bits and no problem at all.

 

I'll give those Audio drivers a go, but I've tried quite a few. I can't seem to get the Tuba bass thing working at all, no matter what settings I mess with.

I've gone back to 32-Bit now, seems much quicker than 64, even boot and shut down times. Weird.

I have no Acer software installed now, I couldn't locate from their site for both Win7 64 with 6930G combo.

n that (excellent) thread you linked, he's provided a link to the empowerment software, I'll install that and the latest Realtek driver and see if I have any luck. Hope they work ok with Win 7 32-Bit, he is running with 64-.

 

Further to that post, had no joy whatsoever.

Software installed, but still no bass, and after audio has been playing for a minute or so, even at low volume, it sounds like the laptop is going to blow up!

Not good at all. Still can't seem to work out how you get the TubA to work, and the Acer software does nothing of use.

No webcam either.

Anyone have any ideas? My only option at this point is to just put up with the default tinny speaker sound.

 

I've gotten everything to work but those sound drivers from Acer still cause crackling.

 

Download the sound drivers for Vista on Acers website. Then richt click on the installation and press "Run in compatibily mode for WINDOWS VISTA", and you should also remember to tick the "Run as adminstrator" buttion.

I hope I helped.

Kind Regards powerfull499
