    I think there was a thread for this but i cant find it now. I downloaded the new audio driver for the M17x R3 and now my sound is being all funky. If anyone can post the link to it, it would be most appreciated. I remember there being some trick to get it to instal correctly. Thanks.

    you can try to do system restore to get the driver back to the previous driver..

    Go to the device manager then when you right click over the soundcard and goto properties there will be a drivers tab and you select that and you can click roll back driver

    I installed the old driver over the newer one and it worked. So, you can try that if you want.

    Link to the old version-
