    Hi everybody,

    If, like meyou're experiencing some lags in audio in call of duty ghosts, or maybe others games, here's the trick :

    1. Install the latest audio driver from dell website
    2. Download the latest realtek driver from here : Realtek
    (Choose the second choice : 64bits Vista, Windows7, Windows8, Windows8.1 Driver only (Executable file))
    3. Run the setup, it'll uninstall your current driver and keep the home theater tool
    4. Restart
    5. When back in windows, just wait some seconds, and the setup will continue
    6. Restart after new driver installed
    7. That's all, enjoy the game without no audio lags :p
