Go with the Acer ones if not. </p> <p>Or you might have the speaker configuration set up to stereo, in the Acer HD Audio Manager. (You'd need the Acer driver for that, I guess.) Anyway I think the speaker config is default as 5.1 after installation. </p> <p>Look in 'control panel', Acer HD Audio Manager, first tab for 'speaker config', then the 'speaker config' dropdown.</p> <p>U6b36ef </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/aspire-5720-windows-7-sound-crackling#post-8031 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 11:32:22 +0000 piton900 8031@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>Hi Acer Guy,</p> <p>I am having an issue with my Acer Aspire 5720 laptop. I have Windows 7 installed, and I constantly get a sound crackling/slowing down. (For example mp3-s and wav files are crackling, midi files are slowing down). It also happens with the internal realtek card, and an USB sound card. I have the latest drivers installed, and it's a clean Windows 7 install, so malicious software are out of question. I need help with this issue, can you help me, please?</p> <p>greetings,<br /> István </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/no-sound-after-installing-realtek-driver#post-7752 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 09:03:34 +0000 zabava12 7752@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>I installed the Realtek High Definition Audio driver for Vista 32, and then I restarted and had no more sound.

I frigged with the settings, changed the driver a few times, all the usual stuff but nothing could get the bass to return</p> <p>Trawling around the web located several people with a similar problem, a failed or burnt out bass (tuba, assistance unit?) player that requires a HW fix.</p> <p>Now, I am quite willing to change the failed hardware myself (I do have experience), but I need to know what part I need to buy(part No?), where to buy it, what it's actually called and what it will cost. Is there a different or upgraded part I can use, superior to the original for better bass? (I don't want to overtax the hardware though)</p> <p>Any pitfalls to watch out for would also be appreciated. Is it best replaced from the top or bottom of the unit? What needs to be removed, is it just a quick swap out or does the entire system need to be dismantled? Any soldering involved?</p> <p>I would appreciate any advice on this subject.</p> <p>Many thanks. </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/crystal-eye-mic#post-4233 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:30:37 +0000 talk 4233@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>have an acer aspire 7720.had for over a year and never used built in webcam until yesterday. set up msm to video call mate abroad ,ran through cam and mic set up(in built mic)every thing seemed ok however my mate can not hear me !!!!made video recording in acer arcade this also had no sound HELP </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/stereo-mix-no-longer-works-after-upgrading-to-windows-7#post-4205 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:14:32 +0000 logan3713 4205@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>I have an Aspire 3690g that I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium.

It's an awesome machine and does everything I want it to do and especially shines when used for gaming.</p> <p>One slight problem though; every now and then the sound gets distorted. It happens without warning and then suddenly there is this sort of robotic quality to the sound. Although that has it moments, it gets rather annoying after a minute. </p> <p>On the grand scale, I can live with it since I normally use external speakers and it only happens once in a while (not every day). Also, by either waiting for a few minutes or restarting my laptop, the problem is solved (for the moment)</p> <p>Hence the question is; anyone familiar with my little problem? Possible solutions?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/problems-recording-from-stereo-mix-it-doenst-work-vista-6920g#post-1255 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:07:06 +0000 HtheB 1255@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>On Windows Vista, the stereo-mix is by default disabled. If you click with the right mouse button on the speaker (on the taskbar), then click on the 'Recording' (I don't know what's it called exactly, since I have a Dutch Windows).<br /> Now right click on the new window and select "show hidden devices".</p> <p>You will see that the stereo-mix is disabled. You can enable this. It IS enabled by me, but just sometimes when I want to work with audacity or any other program (Like recording a sound to with Windows Live Messenger) it doesn't capture it :(</p> <p>And sometimes it DOES work... Very strange... </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/problems-recording-from-stereo-mix-it-doenst-work-vista-6920g#post-1249 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:57:05 +0000 Artaq 1249@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>I also would like to try and get Audacity, a recording program to work with the 8920G.
