• Better audio control panel?
    5 replies, posted
I currently have VIA Envy24 Audio Control Panel, and I don't like it very much. It doesn't offer any more options than the standard windows panel does. I like the Realtek control panel, but it doesn't work on my computer. What I am really looking for is the tuner thing that Realtek has (don't remember what its called) Does any one know of a control panel I can get or how I can get Realtek to work? Realtek doesn't do anything when I click on any of the icons for it. The audio card I have is this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829126004[/url]
You can't switch to Realtek, your sound card is built to use VIA Envy24 drivers. You can't use any other drivers.
Get a new sound card? The control panels are built specifically for cards (usually. most brands just use the same one for every card they make), so if you want a new control panel, you'd probably be better off buying a new card. It would be much easier.
All I am looking for is a different control panel, not specifically Realtek. The VIA website is down or something, so I can't go there and update it. Right now my program version for the control panel is 0.0.3.5 and the Driver version is 5.12.1.3653. The driver says its from '07, and i have seen an update somewhere for one from late '08 or 09, but I can't get it because the download links to the VIA website. I am assuming the control panel is just as old, but i cant find a place to update it.
Its possible they've changed it, but it doesn't seem that likely to me. I'd wait until their site is back up to update. If the site never comes back, maybe they disappeared?
I don't know what happened to the site, but I wen't to the PPA website and they had the latest Envy24 drivers on their site. I don't know why I didn't think to look there.
