Sound driver support is the only problem right now in Windows 8.

Luckily, Creative released official drivers for the X-Fi Titanium HD that work correctly. All the other cards from Creative seem to be in beta support.

The bug report I ran across was was started back in June on the RP , so maybe it will sloooowly get better . :cry:

I have the xfi extreme gamer and the only way I can get sound to work is to put it in entertainment mode. Every time I boot, I have to put it back to that mode and set my speakers to 5.1. I hope they fix this, I really don't want to use on board sound :-(

Mine had a similar issue with the beta drivers. It would lose all sound at reboot. I'd have to install it again after every reboot to get sound.

They released official drivers on the 25th and it's working correctly now. Won't be long for the other cards.

Have you by any chance updated the bios since you acquired your laptop ? I see where there was one released ,2011-01-10 , Version:F.65 . May be worth a try .

Yea did that as well. Just seems odd that Microsoft has this kind of problem for a common on board audio. I am going to leave it on my laptop for now but if its not fixed soon I guess I will have to go back to 7. The thing that really gets me is the "Upgrade Assistant" said all of my hardware was compatible, only thing that was not compatible was MS Essentials...

MS Essentials is built into Defender on 8 . 8 is after all a new OS ,so it takes awhile for all the different driver suppliers catch up . A lot of the devices still have to use Vista drivers in 7. :s

Have you tried hooking your laptop up to a tv using HDMI to see if sound works that way or not? Also external speakers using headphone jack?

Not that those would actually solve the problem, but if they worked, could be a temp fix.

My laptop does not have HDMI and I have tried external speakers and headphones with no luck.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
