    G'day,

    Before anyone decides to textually me, I'm quite aware this topic has been sorted out by Chastity and many others, but I just can't seem to sort it out on this laptop.

    When I originally bought the laptop, everything was working correctly except for the problem with the sound and no bass playing out of the Subwoofer, which was easily fixed, but somewhere along the line I reformatted it, now I was wondering which drivers I need, and what order I need to install them in, to get the sound + Subwoofer working again, I've heard so many different answers, that it's just screwing with my head now.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Juzie

    1) Uninstall your existing Realtek audio driver and ATI HDMI driver. Reboot after each uninstall.
    2) Download the 2.55 packages of both from Realtek's site.
    3) Install The Realtek Audio 2.55 first. Reboot.
    4) Install ATI HDMI 2.55. Reboot
    5) Install Creative Win7 update listed below.
    6) PROFIT!

    EAX5 is only with the X-Fi MB2 software, and not the one you link to.

    Odd thing is it's not even available for purchase, since Creative has not released a trial version to the public.

    No luck with that, sorry.

    The ATI driver wouldn't install because of a missing driver error, right at the end of the installation, and Audio Center is still coming up with "No Supported Audio Device".

    Anything else I could try?

    This issue is cropping up a lot recently. I do hope you people are following directions with the Realtek installer, and allowing it to uninstall first, and REBOOTING. Then re-running the installer and installing the new drivers.

    It is funny how people who are new to computers don't understand the uninstall reboot then load new and those that have been around since windows 95 it's just habbit and we don't give it a second thought.

    On the other hand, Windows 95 habits are outdated. Properly written modern drivers, even system critical ones like video drivers, can be added/removed/updated without rebooting.

    What I don't get is the Realtek driver installers CLEARLY prompts the user to reboot and run the installer again, so if one ignores this, then one gets what one deserves. :)
