Realtek tip hints solutions problems securityhole

okay…
i googled (google can be your friend)

lots of complaints about audio on win7 and vista
a few on xp but they seem more realtek oriented

IF the tip you need is not below
try googling with specifics of your problem and system info
(use the little “i” at the bottom of the realtek page for your driver codec etc)

use xp not vista or win7 if you can
if you must use son_of_bob or his cousin
make sure you have the right drivers

no matter what you are using
dl the latest realtek drivers!!!

Use your pc mfgr eg dell
or the realtek site
squidoo below has links to dls too

use the realtek control page to set everything
echo everything on every ms control page too
max all volumes and unmute all not in use in those panels
then use audacity to control what you do
