Downloading the latest Realtek drivers (R190) has solved the "clicking" problem. BUT I have both the zhaolu and a small t-amp hooked up. No problem until the driver-update, both just worked. But now i have to manually choose betwen one or the other in the sound-menu in the sys-tray...

Hi everybody I have just upgraded to Vista 64 on a new build with Realtek HD (ALC888) onboard sound. The problem is that my zhaolu is clicking between signal and mute all the time (using optical in), which is frankly a bit annoying. Any way of avoiding this? Never had this problem...

Update: Sound-quality is not a big issue. I just want my basic 2-channel stereo when watching a movie. I understand that the problem is the k-mixer being bypassed, but is there not some work-around that does not involve flashing the card back (I really like the prodigy-drivers and the SQ...

I have just flashed my av-710 with the Prodigy bios. Works great, except for the volume control in PowerDVD not responding. This is a big let-down especially since i usually use a remote when watching movies (far from the amp). Anyway of getting a working volume control or am i forced to...

Thank you everybody - the KS-plugin works like a charm, and is very well documented. I did not consider that the winamp volume-control would impact the SQ, but this is bypassed in this plugin, when the volume is set to 100% (a little stroke of genius in my book). Again - thanks for the help.

Thank you for the replies. Actually i dont seem to be able to find a link for the KS-plugin that works. Anybody have a bookmark they could share please.

Hi I have the Chaintech AV-710 with the 4.73b driver (setup as explained in this thread). As a die-hard Winamp user i have downloaded the ASIO4All 2.8 Beta 2, and configured it according to this thread (I have also tried the default settings). My problem is this: With the ASIO4All...

Update: The Gilmore Lite is actually available within 3 weeks, but it's 350$ (220v), which leaves me a little reluctant. I have decided on either the: Citypulse 7.2x or the Zhaolu 2.5C I was set on pairing one of these with the Original Master, but according to another...

Damn it's a jungle out there. You can literally spend weeks trying to get to the bottom of all the models and theories - time i simply do not have, so at some point a guy like me just have to choose and pray, which is what i will do. No USB I am pretty much set on an internal soundcard...

Let me start by thanking you for taking the time to help me out - you obviously did a lot of work and it is greatly apreciated. Being a complete newbie my gut-feeling seems to shy away from USB - something about things popping up on screen, and the computer freezing, and something about being...

Thank you very much.
