Acer Aspire 6930G - Sound problem

post #1 of 19

Thread Starter 
Hi,

This is my first post here so I will present myself and explain what my problem is exaclty.
My name is Axel, I am a french graphics student ( in a college in england
I bought this laptop about 10 days ago.
Acer Aspire 6930g :
-Windows Vista
-Intel Core2 Duo processor P7450, 2.13 Ghz
-4 GB DDR2
-Nvidia Geforce 9600M 1GB
-320 GB HDD
-16"
-Gorgeous laptop .. lol love it

It had a few sound problems ( not that annoying but I'd rather get rid of them ^^ ) with my subwoofer, now and again it did some annoying sound like grzzzz when it went to the bass. I had to change the sound to the normal settings, then go back to the high definition sound. ( the one with 6 or 7 different "speakers", instead of the normal stereo one which has only 2, Left and Right. )
Sometimes, my music stopped playing "problems with the audio card" or something.

So I decided to get rid of those problems by installing the latest ( i think ) realtek audio driver.
After the installation, i realised that :
1. The sound didn't work anymore AT ALL
2. When I went in that audio sound properties, it only showed me the stereo, and I can't see the 2nd one which had a better sound quality ( more speakers, more 3d sound .. )

Anyway, I just would like to know if the weird noise coming from the subwoofer is a big problem, and if I should get it back to the shop, or if it's only a driver problem.
And I also would like to know how to get my sound back, and my high quality + subwoofer aswell.

Thanks.
Peacee

Hi, uninstall the driver from Device Manager, then go to Empowering Technology , e-recovery, click on Restore, then Drivers and applications, content window opens.
click on contents, go down the list to Realtek HD audio and click install. I had roughly the same problem. If u don't uninstall from Device Manager first of all and go directly to
eRecovery it will probably install only the Microsoft HD Audio.

Hi What do u mean about not having the recovery disk ?
If you have Empowering technology installed it shud work as described above.

If not uninstall from Device Manager and download the Realtek HD audio driver from the Acer Website.

The drivers from Acer support site should be good for a clean installation. Have you tried also download the applications that come with the notebook, within the download section?

Can you also expand "works for a while and then stops"?

cheers ...

I've noticed on the Acer Website that there are different versions of Realtek HD Audio Driver depending on the laptop model.

I already tried thouse drivers.
With the original drivers i had in the recovery partition when I bought my laptop the sound is perfect, but after i reinstall my windows ... my sound stoped working right.
The subwoofer is bizzing - its not working like subwoofer more like an old radio.
And after a while my whole sound quality is decreasing a lot. Its bizzling and scratching like, basicly not good.
Do you know what kind of drivers were there in the recovery partition ?
After a restart the sound is perfect but in a while it gets bad again.
