For some reason too the computer had been acting really slow. IE and other various programs would stop responding. The Task Bar would become un-usable, I wouldn't be able to click it, but I could use ALT + TAB to switch between programs. But they wouldn't be showing up in the Task Bar.
This computer malarky is really annoying me, sometimes I don't know why I even bother!
I un-installed everything to do with the Realtek drivers, using Add and Remove Programs and CCleaner. For some reason the computer was Ok again, it would work normal and IE would respond, I don't know why though.
So, I'm going to install the drivers that came with the motherboard CD again and see what it does...
Anybody else who has the Gigabyte 965P-(D)S3:
Could you please tell me exactly what you did to get your sound working, please!
Thanks.
You mean like right clicking it and then doing it?
I haven't, no, I'll give it a try though. Do I go to the select manually thing and then find the instal file on the CD or is there something esle?
Yea put the cd in, stop the installer. Open device manager, go to your sound device, right click, cilck update driver, no not this time, install from a specific location,dont search I will choose the driver to install, have disk, then browse to it on the cd. Now then you go to device manager you might have a few listings under sound, pick the sound device itself to update
I've tried everything and nothing will work!!!!!!! FFS!
I put the High Defination Drivers on and my computer becomes so sluggish, I can't do anything, I've had to reset it so many times! I take them off and it works fine. I've had no luck with drivers off either Realtek's website or Gigabyte's
I really don't know what to do!
I don't want to buy a sound card, I shouldn't have to! This thing has onboard!!!!!!!
Well the Realtek Audio worked on mine straight away, the CD did some auto-install of every driver and boom it was done! The Sound Blasters are much better though because they sound 'purer' than the onboard audio to my ears anyway, the onboard felt a bit muffled on default compared to the sound card.
But anyway...
I think the DS4 CD plopped the Microsoft driver on before the Realtek set so perhaps the order of installing is the issue...
It's an Audigy, that's cool. They just had to go and replace the Audigy with that new, crap Fatal1ty. I have heard so many bad things about those, they sound pitiful.
