Clevo Driver Thread

Any special instructions installing it? I'm coming from 12.7 beta official.

EDIT: Disregard. Whoever is wondering, install the CCC then the rest including the CAP3. I don't notice any difference when it comes to performance. I read the release notes but I was crossing my fingers that by some miracle it would kind of fix Enduro without AMD being aware (looong shot). LOL.

 

I looked there but the ActMgr directory isn't there, only directories in THX TruStudio Pro are APOIM and THXAudioCP. Why do i need CTActMgr.exe anyway?

 

Does anyone know if these drivers finally support TRIM in RAID setups?

 

It's the activation manager, it's not there? Uninstall and reinstall again, you can't use THX Studio pro with the onboard sound card without activating it.

 

Hi,

this isn't a Clevo driver is it? How often do Clevo package up the AMD drivers into a distribution that will install onto our laptops? Or do we have to install the AMD Catalyst drivers manually if we want later drivers?

 

Clevo updates drivers on occasion, however AMD has yet to provide any manufacturer a driver that allows them to make any progress. Just ask anyone with CF 7970m in a AW

 

anyone try the newest drivers from clevo for the 680m?

"Well with version 2 while it installs on the 680M (with optimus) it never actually uses the 680M, no matter if I say use the 680M for everything or if I individually choose programs." - Meaker

"304.79 is not a stable release for the 680M

Means we have to fall back to 302.77."

Edited by Meaker, Yesterday, 08:39 PM.

Since the Sager(reseller) gave me the 302.77 driver in a CD, and the new one that's from the main clevo website is 302.92, does that mean it is better?

 

305.67 is here: GEFORCE DRIVER 305.67 FOR Win8/Win7/Vista/XP - News - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

It's what I've been using for the last week or so with my 680M; no issues. Not sure why anyone should bother with modded 305.68 that doesn't work correctly on laptops.

Thank you very much FoulFoot!

going to post that here, someone help me please !

 

What's the most stable driver for the 675m on an NP9170? I'm having screen flickering issues followed by a popup saying "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered." The whole machine including my mouse cursor would slow down until the machine just completely freezes or BSODs. I've tried the two betas on the Nvidia site (304.79 and 304.48) but they produce the same problem.

I'm able to run stuff smoothly (well, as smoothly as possible) by uninstalling the Nvidia driver and just playing on the Intel HD 4000 so it's either the Nvidia driver or the card itself. I'd want to test out any driver first before sending this in and any help would be appreciated as I haven't kept up with the driver releases for the 675m.

 

hm that rather sounds like a buggy gpu to me tbh. id rma is right away and get a replacement. once u uninstall the nvidia driver the dgpu isnt being used anymore,so i doubt its connected to the driver itself.

Yeah I'm thinking it's the Nvidia gpu. Last night I was playing Batman Arkham City nonstop until Guild Wars 2 launched, then I played that all night. All while on the Intel HD 4000 (using all low settings of course). Everything ran smoothly, no flickering, BSODS, slowdown or anything. I'm going to RMA for the gpu as soon as I can.

For future reference though, what are some proven good drivers for the 675m?

 

Been using 305.67, no issues so far. And in this version the Optimus check when a random application is launched no longer powers up the dGPU unless the application is assigned to the dGPU, this should help the battery life greatly just I haven't tested it yet.

Guys I tried the Audio driver 6.0.1.6581 for P370EM on Clevo site on my P170EM, and it actually brought back the sound effect tab, the sound at default is pretty much the same as stock but you can add bass through EQ with this driver (although it doesn't seem to work with 5.1/7.1 mode).

Edit: Also a few more options for 5.1/7.1 users

Speaker Fill: expand stereo source to all speakers (was previously done by THX). However, still need to find out it's just copying stereo source over or actually expanding, the voices seem to be coming from the center channel tho.

Enable Bass Management: All frequency under 80Hz will only be output through subwoofer. But this option might mess up the audio experience played using Dolby Prologic II.

 

sorry i dont understand you mean the driver for p370em does not support 5.1/7.1 mode on p170em?

 

Only the sound effect tab doesn't support 5.1/7.1, others all support. However these additional options will vanish when you install THX Pro

 

So i'm new to some of this, and just to be one the safe side i have a couple of questions.
First off, where is it that you check most of the driver numbers? I'm thinking especially about the GPU, since i have just been made aware of the 12.8 WHQL.
Secondly, i have almost always used to uninstall the previous driver before installing new. It have always worked, but I just want to make sure i'm doing it right. So what do you do when you install a new driver (I have 7970m)? do you just uninstall catalyst? I know this is a "noob" question, but please help

 

Could a mod or someone make a new thread =O
It's a living hell to browse through every page to find the latest driver for ur notebook.

Hope this is possible =]

 

Hi, I have a P170HM and W150ERM, both running Windows 7 Ultimate X64, the sound drivers installs fine, but the THX drivers arent working for neither of them, the sound in the W150ERM is really low and sounds like garbage, the P170HM sounds okay i think, but still, no THX and no options for bass etc.


The drivers i tried were from the Clevo site and the driver CD.

 

When you see the THX Control panel , there are more options to show you, on the top right you see a little drop down box, open that and select ur audio card and as well the output, you can choose between the built in laptop speakers or select external speakers if you connected the notebook to external speakers. then it should work. But the build in speakers are dreadfull. no matter what you would use those tiny thinkgs dont even deserve the term speakers
hehe

Here you see a pic with the extra options mine is in dutch but in english yours should mention settings and select audio device hope that will solve ur sound probs

 

When you download THX, make sure you activate it.
I didn't do that at first and I thought it wasn't working.

After you activate it, it should be fine.

 

the thx program just say that it cant find a soundcard . the sound is REALLY low on the W150er

can anyone link me a sounddriver for w150erm and thx app

 

go to this site and select the w150erq model, there you find all drivers for it that clevo gave for this model: CLEVO - Download

 

so its THX 1.03.01
and sound driver 60110300

 

Yes thats what i use here, and it works perfectly here

 

When my W110ER arrives, I'm thinking to install all official clevo drivers, then go piece-by-piece of hardware to it's manufacturer and download latest drivers for everything.

Wouldn't this probably improve performance and probably fix a lot of problems?

At least I have been doing this to almot any other laptops\desktops, and have always worked good, don't know for the clevo's.
Keep Cool

 

That is definitely true for clevo notebooks, though I can't speak for the W110ER since I don't have one.

 

Thanks anyway.

It will take some time until I get it (Already paid, but the store has lot of work)...

When I get mine I will be doing some heavy tests. And will test a lot with official Clevo drivers, then go to each manufacturer site and download latest drivers for everything piece-by-piece of hardware and test again, then compare the results.

However I'm thinking to initially already start the tests with all official Clevo installed, but with latest GT650 drivers from nvidia site (Because there would probably be significant difference from GPU drivers, and may not make it to see if actually the other drivers for the rest improved the laptop or not)...
Keep Cool

 

This VGA driver (7970m) was in Clevo download site for P370EM CLEVO - Download
Compatible with P170EM, 7970m and i7 ivy??
8.973.0.0 ??

 

ud probably lose the switchable graphics functionality, since the p370m doesnt support the iGPU

Interesting. I am afraid to test it, but I'm curious if it may be compatible with the P150EM/P170EM laptops.

 

so i dont need thx pro to get the woofer work if i install this driver?

 

Don't need THX to get the subwoofer working, you can tick bass management in the panel.

 

ok then what are the advantages i install this one over stock+thx? the sound quality better?

 

yup i was wondering the same thing

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

 

The sound comes out softer with this one compared to stock, which sounds better. If you install THX you can control the crossover frequency for the subwoofer, however without THX you can still use the Bass management option, but the crossover frequency will be locked at 80Hz. Also THX surround does sound better than Speaker Fill option from Realtek, the sound stage with Realtek Speaker Fill sounds a lot more narrow.

However, installing THX also means EQ will vanish. But I came up with a way to trick the Realtek and let it think that the THX isn't installed, and that way the EQ still exists, you can take a look at this post:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/686257-sound-card-improve-amplify-sound-without-headphones-2.html#post8819213


Edit: EQ tweaking actually works with 5.1/7.1, I was playing with it just now . If you plan to use it without THX, remember to tick FL/FR for full range speaker and also tick bass management, then start tweaking the EQ .

Please note this is only for 5.1/7.1 users, 2.0 users should look for USB sound card as their solution.

 

thank you hackness. i am only concern about 2.0 performance. i am looking for a way to increase the treble coming out from the built-in speakers. now i have to move crystalizer in thx to max plus move up the treble in eq in my music player software together to get an acceptable quantity of high frequency.

Thanks

Does anyone have the new version of the Clevo Control Centre?
I am still using the 6.0045.

Last but not least what USB 3.0 controller is being used in the W110ER?

 

All drivers can be found on either Clevo's or Sager's site. The Control Center is the hotkey.

 

So I've just ordered my first clevo notebook. Is there a way to have drivers automatically update? I know myself, and I'll end up doing it every 6 months at most..

 

Question, guys. I have a Np8170, currently running the 9.2.0.1021 HM67 Express chipset, according to Intel's website. I think a problem I am having is related to the chipset, so I want to update to the latest version. This thread says the latest version is the 9.2.3.1022. But Intel's site says that version is for the x79 chipset. Is it okay for me to install version 9.2.3.1022?
Also, the link to the drivers seems to be dead.
Thanks in advance.

 

well not automatically per se...but im uaing KC Sumo in order to keep track of any updates on programs & drivers. u should check it out (google is ur friend)

hm, afaik the drivers should cover not only one type but a whole bunch of different chipsets,thus the series 6 should be included as well. just give it a try, if it doesnt work then revert back to the previous version

cheers

By the way, if you want the latest Hotkey version, just download it from CLEVO website, go to P370EM download page there you will find hotkey 6.0058.
I already tested it and it works fine in P150EM and P170EM.

PS. You have to unistall previous version first, although it might tell you it can update it´s all lies it will give you a network error if you don´t uninstall first.

 

6.0062 is out, found it on clevos ftp server
