Thread Starter 
I just checked the Realtek website and notice that they released the new HD audio driver. There are some improvements including louder sound for my headphone + some kind of auto detect wizard if you plug in your headphone or mic, highly recommended for 8100 owners

Here is the link to thier site (in Tawain)

These drivers caused a serious problem for me... and i haven't had any problems with my 8103 yet so I'm pretty sure its some driver related bug:

After installing these drivers, everytime that I would remove the power plug from my computer while it was running, the screen would just switch off and the maching would lock up... but not completely shut down. I am positive that it was these drivers because I went through a lot of troubleshooting, removing one thing at a time that I had recently changed, and as soon as I reinstalled the original audio drivers, the problem went away!

Just a warning... but my original audio drivers work just the same anyway

When I clean installed XP on my 8104, those are the ones I used and I haven't had a problem with them. The auto detection is quite handy.
