Good news! Success! I dug deeper thru the link originated by Infinitesymphony and on page 26 oohms suggests using the 473b driver to update for 32 bit systems. Once again Win7 didn't want to do it saying I had the most up to date driver, so I chose to install from disc. Then I navigated to the...

Thanks Joshatdot for the link. I've followed these guides in the past. Seemed to be what I was looking for, but, I am working with Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, and the instructions call for updating the driver to a 64-bit one. Well, I gave it a shot. And sure enough Windows 7 told me I already...

thanks for the info. That is pretty much my exact experience. The only problem is that the sound out of the green jack isn't the quality I recall from the black (rear) jack. Oh well. I will try the newer driver talked about above.

once again, thanks for hanging in there with me. I tried opening the ADeck from my download folder and indeed it opened. Was good to see it. But it wasn't functional. So then I looked around for compatibility adjustment to the setup. Right clicking the file does not offer it. But I found by...

OK. Good. You've given me hope. I'm really a 7 noobie. Like less than two days. And it's on the same computer I'm typing this on w/XP Pro. But two hard drives. And I have to disconnect and reconnect each time I move back and forth. Worn out! I tried to figure how to install in a previous...

yes the "sound" section in control panel is all I've got. I'm brand new to Windows 7 so alot of stuff is happening simultaneously. After retracing my steps, it is apparent that I upgraded the driver from device manager. If I try to load the driver from the envy package the Installshield quits...

yes, thanks. I know that is the way I do it with my old driver on XP. Problem is that the audio deck is gone, and the adjustments are now made in a windows 7 interface that doesn't seem to have that option. There is a sample rate drop down tho, I'll check that...

well funny thing. I uninstalled 5.40a. Then tried some of my old faves and Windows 7 rejected them all and stopped the installation. Kinda cool that. But I noticed the loud speaker in the tray so I opened it up and it showed the same envy 24 box I had from the 5.40a installation. Except the...

DOH!! Got my letters mixed up. Yeah, without the win7 support, I may not jump on that. In fact my next move is to install one of the really old drivers like 4.73 and see if that works. I've been amazed at how much of my older hardware works in windows 7 with super old drivers. I'll let you know...

hmm. just looked at VIA drivers page and they show the latest driver as 5.40a. Googled envy24 5.40h and had only one result in Asian. I've never had only one google result before. Pretty impressive. So where have you seen this 5.40h driver?

thanks for the heads up on the newer version. I just got 540a a few days ago. The big bummer is that the old drivers used to have an easy way to pick the rear channels by using spdif mode. I cannot find Audio Deck in windows 7, just what looks like the propietary sound adjustment; either...

It's the only audio device. It only has adjustments for speakers or spdif. I'm brand new to win 7 but there don't seem to be the same old configuration routines I'm used to.

I dl the latest VIA envy24 driver, 540A. Supposed to work for both 32-bit and 64-bit Win 7. I installed in both versions OK. Says it's working. I can see it making noise graphically, but there is zero output from any jacks on my AV-710. And what I really want is output from those rear channels...

I've used a Clip with Sony 7506 cans. It's not SUPER loud, but enough so I can work out new tunes on my drum kit. FWIW.

Hey Sarchi. Nice speaks! What size is your baffle? I've been reading as much as I can take in on the concept. I have a small listening area and don't think I'd be able to get them far enough from the back wall. Yours seem pretty close tho. How big is your room? My problem is that I have two...
