Agreed - which is why I repeatedly mention that my tests' results are nothing but that - subjective.

I won't have time to do any extensive testing in the next week, minimum - movers came to get 1/2 of my stuff today to move to the new place, and then Wednesday I get Internet (Gigabit fiber, yay!)...

I'm currently sticking to 8688, and will try to install the latest Windows 10 IP build - if sound fails, I'll revert (again), uninstall 8688 and install 8648, and try to upgrade again.

I hope that...

Hmmm. My audio is dead after installing 18890.

Since some folks are liking 8694, I might install that to see if it comes back....but I really like 8688.

Thanks! I do what I can, when I can. Glad to see it does help :)



Lol - I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to do another full-fledged review, but seeing as how at least part of our musical tastes...

Uh, I like things loud? No, seriously, that is not meant to be facetious - I truly do like listening to things as loud as possible while maintaining the integrity of the delivery. As you can...

Let's do the time warp, again!

Here we go!

Methodology:


All volume levels set to 75% (I had to guestimate on the volume control on my headphones, but as it takes 2 full rotations from edge to edge on the inline contorl, I...

Ha! I had a very busy, and eventful, weekend - but was not able to test anything at all (new home in a new location with the closing in 4 days - got a lot to finalize this week).

I took the day...

Looks like I have my work cut out for me :D

Interesting. I might play with 8688 this weekend, if I get enough time to do so (or even tonight, as my plans to go see Endgame fell through, so it'll be Sunday).

I'm still solidly 'stuck' (I use...

I'm guessing it does support that driver.

This should give you a massive idea, then.

I like as much clarity as possible, first and foremost. If any given driver sounds more {muffled / subdued / crackly / static-y, etc} than 8648, it gets...

If only I had the time, I would do so as well.



Indeed, much appreciated, DooGie!

Because of my involvement last weekend in the trivia contest, I didn't try any other driver.

I'm still happily plugging away with 8648 on my ancient system, and based upon what I am reading, not...

90FM Trivia WWSP 90FM

Yearly event that happens, this was the 50th anniversary. It's now broadcast over the Internet but the answers are called in still over POTS lines. 341 teams this year,...

I haven't upgraded from 8648 either.

I'm involved with the world's largest trivia contest starting in a couple of hours and lasting the entire weekend - so no testing anything newer until that is...

Indeed!

I've just happened to have repaired over 25 laptops and diagnosed at least another 35-40 (full disassembly), another 50+ (partial disassembly) and hundreds (pure software / no...

I'd have done that myself - but I'm a hardware guy, so....



Cool!



Also cool!

I guess I finally need to upgrade from 8648, then, huh?

Release Realtek High Definition Audio 6.0.1.8673 WHQL · alanfox2000/realtek-hda-release · GitHub

I may get a chance to test 8668 thoroughly this afternoon. I currently don't have a lot on my plate in terms of work to be done (I'm actually caught up, for a change).

I'm still rocking 8648,...

Alan Fox has pre-released 6.0.1.8668

:roflmao::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil:

I guess that frees me from a bunch of testing then lol.

Which is good, because Android Q DP1 is being a major PITA on my phone....I need to spend some time with it tomorrow instead anyway.
