Hello there, I've been using Realtek for years, but lately I had to upgrade my system to Vista. Everything was reformatted, downloaded the HD audio driver but the installation kept failing. Luckily I've come to this post, and realized I don't have the Direct X 8.0 installed. I tried installing it, and everything went smoothly after...Now I'm not only happy with my newly upgraded OS, but I'm also completely satisfied with the quality of sound Realtek gives.
