Boojum Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 May not be an issue with the sound card driver software, may be an issue with the video driver software conflicting with the new sound drivers, so you need to upgrade the video drivers too ? Or some shit like that Sorry. This is one of the reasons I gave up on building/upgrading PCs, all the fucking incompatibibility issues with the drivers and shit I literally threw one out of the window in a rage in a manic mood, after the fucking thing had been taking the piss all fucking weekend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then select asio4all as an audio device in your soundcard software settings, or dl realtek audio manager and select asio4all in that if you don't already have software. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
