Re: sound quality is not as it used to be! after installing windows 8.1

I completely agree!

Not only that but if you look at the date of the audio driver, it was released almost a year before W8.1 came out!

So, how can it be for W8.1?

Just for kicks, try this driver from a very new model with the IDT audio...
