    aftermarket sound software for win7?

    is there any "aftermarket" sound mixer/driver/software that doesn't use windows's shitty sound driver/mixer? i have win7 on one of my desktops and sound cards (HDMI/PCI-e/Onboard) that sound good with pulse on Linux sound horrid on win7!
    Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

    Excuse me while i do something dangerous


    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

    That's a known issue with the SoundBlaster Live series on Vista and later. (At least the crackling) (But, never heard of stuff like that with onboard audio)

      the PCI-e is an audigy FX. and its not a crackling, it just sounds flat and unresponsive and dull.

          I dunno. All I knew was that the beloved Emu 10K1-based SoundBlasters have a crackle under Windows 7. The Windows start up tune has crackling.

            what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
            by ChaosLegionnaire
            so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

            i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

            Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
            by LEECH666
            Good day ladies and gentleman!

            I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

            This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

            I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

            Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
            by Christos Tsiligiannis
            Hello to the forum.

            My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

            So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

            To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

            So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
