Vista x64 - Realtek ALC885 Driver Crashing It appears the Realtek ALC885 Vista x64 drivers like to crash my computer. It seems to happen only during 3D gaming. Some games make the drivers crash more often than others. Supreme Commander is semi-playable (crashes within 30 minutes-4 hours). Doom 3 is completely unplayable (crashes within 2-15 minutes). Is there a known issue with a setting in these drivers that I can simply unset, or will I have to wait for another driver update for the crashes to possibly go away?
Another problem I've been having is that the left channel suddenly goes quiet (but not completely silent) for a little bit, goes back to normal for a while, does it again, etc. I'm not sure if it's the onboard sound or if my headphones are starting to give up (they've become pretty beat up now). |
