Freeze and soundloop with onboard Realtek High Definition Audio
I have a serious problem. The Realtek Sound Control cannot load, and if i
play MP3 files for more than approx. 30 minutes the computer freezes and goes into a sound loop, which i only can stop by turning of the computer on the switch on the back of the computer. Im using Windows Vista RC 1 Build 5600. Regards, Rasmus Bertelsen |

Is your sound driver the one that came with Vista? Is Device Manager showing
Unknown device(s) or Exclamation Points, etc.? Dean "Rasmus Bertelsen" wrote: I have a serious problem.

Dean No. It was an update from Windows Ultimate Extras (Windows Update), I think. But before that, there was no sound at all. Regards, Rasmus Bertelsen |

Freeze and soundloop with onboard Realtek High Definition Audi
Hi Rasmus,
The Realtek High Definition Audio driver from Microsoft is kind of weak, and doesn't give the correct options in the Sound control panel. Go to this page, and download the Vista Beta driver (2006/9/28): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false As I recall, it's kind of tricky to get it installed. Once downloaded, unblock it by right-clicking the Zip file and choosing Properties (UnblockApplyOK) on the General tab. Extract the zip file and run Setup.exe by right-clicking on it and choosing Run as Administrator. If the installation was successful, you should see driver version 6.0.1.5302, dated 9/27/2006, in Device Manager for Realtek High Definition Audio (Driver Details should show ten files). If this is not the case, you will have to update the driver manually by directing the Update Driver wizard to C:\Program Files\Realtek\InstallShield. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps, Dean "Rasmus Bertelsen" wrote: "Dean-Dean" wrote in message news Is your sound driver the one that came with Vista?

Hope this helps, Dean Thanks! It helped. Actually, it wasn't tricky to install. I just double-clicked on it after download, and the update was installed with no hickup; that was it.

Regards, Rasmuss Unfortunately it happened again. It seems like the soundloop and freeze happens after a given amount of played mp3's strangely ?? Regards, Rasmus |
