    Hi guys,

    So I hooked up a cheap Creative 3 piece speaker set to my M11x that sounds fine with my desktop. I went to grooveshark and listened to some music and the music would go in and out slightly and just sounded bad! I thought it was grooveshark and ignored it. Today, I opened VLC to do some p90x and the sound is just awful (also same files I use on my desktop and sound fine). I tried messing with the settings and everything looks right, stereo, speakers, levels.. all looks good... I am confused.

    Thanks

    So I installed driver 6.0.1.6083, A02
    It said I already had 6.0.1.6083 but didn't say if it was A01 or A02... anyway, I installed 6.0.1.6083, A02 and now my audio sounds great but the Realtek HD audio manager is gone..

    ???
