Vista Tutorial - SigmaTel High Definition Audio - problem

07-31-2008

Hi there, I have the sound device "SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC"
(STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio) which came with my Dell Dimension 5150.

Some times some of the Windows Sounds don't function correctly. They loop
(have the broken record effect). The Default Beep (Windows Ding.wav) is one
that tends to have this problem when prompted. It also plays slightly
delayed, performs like the system is using a lot of system resources for a
moment.

Appart from this minor issue my sound seems to work fine.

I am running a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.

Driver details:

Provider: SigmaTel
Date: 12/01/2007
Driver Version: 6.10.0.5343

Anyone tested this on this system?

Thanks for the info, Michael. Wish it had been about 10 days earlier! But
I wonder why the 1/15/2008 date if it was recently released. Guess I don't
understand these things.
