    No, UAA. Microsoft's Universal Audio Architecture, the first plague of Vista to befall XP and a sum of all my fears about SP3 trying to ruin XP with Vista stuff it does not need to make ppl move to Vista. Its a requirement now with XP, but it does not need it and it killed Sound Blaster in Vista.

    WOAH! i downloaded and installed this driver on my HPDV6500T... and now when i push the mute button at the top near my blue touch sensor, it mutes, but the light stays blue and not ORANGE, which indicates that the computed is mute.

    I want to roll back to my original driver. how do i do that?

    "Fix dead lock issue when more than 3 jacks set as headphone output
    under XP"

    Hey hey, i've got this Realtek High Definition Audio on my w7j (running vista). Does this statement mean i can set both my headphone jacks to be output? I only have two jacks, one for mic and one for sound output

    It'd be awesome if i could plug 2 headphones into my laptop =]

    Thanx for the information. But I got a problem after I installed the driver. Help please..
    I have an Acer laptop that has Realtek HD Audio as soundcard.
    Before I installed the driver, I used the Vista default driver (I'm running on Vista x86). Everything went normal.
    Right after I installed the Realtek R1.81 driver, my external speaker didn't work. Even the Realtek Audio Manager detected that I plugged the speaker on headphone jack. So the laptop internal speaker went off, but the external speaker still didn't work.
    I have tried several versions of Realtek driver and face the same problem.
    How to solve this? Thanks in advance.

    How does it work with Virtual Surround Sound on Acer Aspire 5920G (as far as I remember, you have such laptop)? With older version of driver subwoofer works...
