[SOLVED] Realtek HD drivers

BloodPig · 03-05-2009, 06:12 AM

Hi, I updated my realtek ALC889A onboard audio with the newest drivers. Now the ones I downloaded off my motherboard site gave me the stereo mix option when I need to record certain audio on my computer. Problem is that's now disabled and I don't want to go back to my older drivers since if I play Far Cry 2 I get no sound effects in the game. What gives? It's like I can't win I either have to go with the new drivers for Far Cry sound to work right or I gotta revert back to the old ones just to use Stereo mix at times. Anyway to get Stereo mix back?

Never mind I figured well if the newest drivers worked. Maybe my onboard sound just needed the drivers reinstalled to get them working right in farcry. So what I did is installed the ones on gigabytes site over top of the newest drivers from realtek site and that brought back my stereo mix option and tested my audio in game and it works with all the gun sound effects.
