Netman66 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I guess I wasn't very clear in my last post - sorry.What I need you to try is install the patch 888111.Remove the Realtek software - using Add/Remove if it's present there, if not uninstall the Sound Card from Device Manager.Reboot.When the Sound Card is redetected and you get the Found New Hardware Wizard then Cancel it.Run the Realtek setup.exe - from the latest drivers.Reboot.Let us know how you make out.

Wijono Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have the same problem with my Lenovo 3000 Q100 PC that has on board Realtek ALC 882 chip HD Audio system. Trying all new codec (driver) from Realtek did not solve the problem, cause the Advance Settings is grayed out, hence I could not turn on Mic (20 dB) boost.Finally I revert back to the old driver, the most recent that still enable me turning on Mic Boost, it is R1.25 (5.10.0.5172), with it I can do the Skype. One thing is still unsolved, the microphone is very sensitive to mechanical movement, if we move it just a little bit, it will generate annoying cracking noise.Realtek HD Audio is superb in playback, but very inferior in recording (microphone).

puntoMX Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Wait, am I missing something here?To not have those gray-out controlls you need to set the speakers on stereo, not on 7.1 for example, if you do so the INPUT controlls gray out.So, did you put your speakersetup on stereo?

bonestonne Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) i have the same audio as you, this is the control panel for the audio, its located on the taskbar, after you install the Realtek driver for it.thats what you need to look at. the round knob that an arrow is pointing at is what you turn, the two channels tell you what you're controlling.my sliders in the Windows audio control are disabled too, just use the Realtek program to do it.

bonestonne Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 can't help but to double post this one...ok, seems as though my last reply [although correct], wasn't a good answer.use windows, but add the rear sources, its not just random.control the whole source. you use the realtek agent to specify what you want to use each port for, use their color to define them in windows, and control them like that, don't use the recording mixer, its locked at a "U" or universal setting, which is supposed to be fine tuned via an in-line amplifier. HD-Audio isn't self powered like AC97...it doesn't put out as much, my speakers need to be turned up a lot more for HD audio than my Sound Blaster cards.
