Right, so 2 days my old motherboard (Intel D975XBX2) fried itself somehow, so I went out and bought myself a new motherboard. Went for a cheap solution, as I don't need a lot of fancy gimmicks, and got the board mentioned in the topic title.
I'm running Vista Business x64, got the latest drivers for the nForce chipset installed (got em from the NVIDIA website).
Now, the audio is fine if I use the driver that comes with Vista. My mic has more static than it used to with my Intel board, but I can live with that.
If I install the Realtek driver for the audio chipset, audio gets completely screwed. There's just a massive amount of static, and very faint behind the static, I can hear what's supposed to be playing.
It's all built into an Antec 900 case, and I've got the front panel audio jacks connected to the connector on the board, with the HD Audio connector (so the AC97 connector isn't used).
I can't imagine it being the connector, but I figured I'd mention it anyway. As said, the Vista driver works fine, but I'd like to use the realtek one because that has noise suppression to get rid of some of my mic's static. For the record, the mic is a very old one, it's the one I got with my Soundblaster 16 back in the day, but it still works fine so I'll keep using it till the end of days
Anyone encountered an issue like this before? I tried the Realtek driver from the MSI CD, MSI website and realtek website, and they all have the same result.
