    Hi Everyone,
    For those of you who haven't checked the support website lately, there are two new drivers - Audio and OSD. The Audio driver is supposed to resolve the HDMI issues we've all been experiencing. The OSD driver adds extra Windows 7 support and resolves FN+6.

    Thanks,
    Gabe

    When are they going to fix command center for Win7 is what I want to know. It works fine for the M15x :(

    When my Corsair x128 SSD gets in I will see if it was the RAID buggin up my Win 7 install or not

    I'm guessing we're going to see an updated M17X Command Center driver very soon. All the attention has been diverted to the introduction of the M15X and two new desktops.

    Thanks,
    Gabe

    Does the new audio driver also resolve audio crackling at high load?
