    I've installed Realtek HD Audio R2.68 and THX TruStudio Pro 1.04.03. THX says "There is no supported audio device available". I know some people had problems with THX. Is there a Realtek/THX TruStudio driver combo that works? Thanks.

    ah the classic problem ^^ u have to install the thx version that came with ur driver disc first and double click on the register shortcut after installation. after that u can update to 1.04.03 otherwise it wont work :)
    as for the realtek driver u can just use whatever is newest!

    Did that - installed the software that came with the laptop (v1.03.01) but when I try to update it, it says that there are no updates available.

    Did that, the version was updated but now whenever I alter the THX settings nothing happens. I can't hear any difference at all when I change settings.

    I have been divorced ATi since 9800pro times, but now I'm having a 7970m with P150EM laptop coming tomorrow, maybe someone could tell me what drivers should I be using? I've seen a lot of beta drivers, but nothing for 7970m specifically.

    Thanks

    ok so i just installed the 304.48 beta drivers and guess what: my notification area in the taskbar just vanished?!?!?! what the heck?
    reboot didnt bring it back, lets see if i can find a solution for this...

    edit: alright, fixed it with this tool and the option "Notification Area / Hide or show all listed tray icons" :)

    well yeah,the notification tray arrow was missing and the taskbar properties / customize notification area wouldnt let me enable any icons anymore,no idea why. tried several registry hacks,reboot system,explorer.exe shootdowns/manual restarts,but i finally got it back with the above mentioned tool :) now benching with the new drivers,already looks like theyre faster than the previous ones i used (301.24) :)

    Installed fine on my laptop. I didn't experience any of the problems above me. Make sure that you use DriverSweeper and a registry cleaner when installing new drivers. The nVidia clean install option still leaves a few residues when you just use that one alone.

    After I installed 304.48 on my GTX 675M, BF3 always freezes 15min into the game :(. Guess time to roll back to 302.71.

    Nevermind it was the FXAA injector I used with BF3, makes BF3 freeze when running it with 304.48, I'm just going to roll back to 302.71 I guess, FXAA is really a nice thing to have for BF3. Hopefully I can still use FXAA injector for BF3 with the later drivers. Also for some reasons The witcher 2 started stuttering, FPS still reads 36 but it's stuttering with the 304.48 which was smooth on the 302.71.

    I tried using Stereo and 5.1 (only front left/right and subwoofer enabled) modes in Realtek's program and I can hear a sound with the video you've linked. I think the video you've linked doesn't particularly test the subwoofer because the frequency of that audio can be outputted by any speaker (even the two front left/right speakers of the np8130) just not optimally like a true subwoofer would.
