so I decided to take the format my hard drive plunge cause everything was acting so dam slow and I couldn't figure out why.....had enough and formatted.

well upon installation...after updating everything (I thought) I install bf2 to play some this evening...well I forgot the sound card driver.

proceed to abit website for latest sound card driver for KD7A....reboot after install...

try to startup Teamspeak and everything basically halts to a commodore 64 speed instantly.....same thing when I click on 'audio' in BF2 settiings...

I've uninstalled and re-installed a couple of times...

any ideas? nothing shows out of ordinary in the device manager.

You can try the latest drivers from

Also, make sure in Teamspeak that you go to Settings/Options and pick the correct sound card.

well after a couple of hours of messing with different drivers and restarting over and over again...trying bios changes...nothing worked...until I pulled a couple of the usb devices out.

I guess I need to install the drivers for those other devices.....apparently they were causing some internal confusion.

oh well...sound works now, but now is time for bed...dammit I wanted to play!
