    When I turn on my R4 the Windows 7 start up noise skips. Sometimes it doesn't even play the noise. After I sign in, it always plays the log in noise. which is good.

    Any way to fix this? It doesn't really bug me cause the comp is running great. From what I know :)

    I did a clean reload any my intro noise skips as well. once you log in everything is fine. thought it was just me. Im guessing its no big deal and a later driver update will fix it

    Same here...I agree, when AMD releases the actual new driver for the 7970m everything will be fine I bet. I hope they include "loudness equalization" with the new driver, as I can barely hear Skyrim...

    Glad to see i'm no the only one. I'm sure a new improved driver will help.
