Hi,

I have a Gigabyte GA-8I915P Duo Pro motherboard and have been using my
Sound Blaster Live card for audio. I recently enabled the on board
Azalia codec in the Bios and installed the microsoft and C-Media driver
to enable the on board sound.

It all works OK except that the sound is really bad. The trebble is
accentuated and there is no bass. I have tried all sorts of things to
fix it but nothing affects the overall sound quality. Any ideas on a
fix as it is unuasable as it is.

Thanks

SurfRat.

I always use Ac3 filter to boost sound quality while watching movies:

Ihave tried all modes (stereo, 5.1 etc) and the sound quality is still
the same.

Thanks
