Intel's HD Audio lets integrated sound card regardless of performance or sound quality are promoted to a new realm, but at the same time, HD Audio also has some "upgrade" glitch, today we will come to one by one to solve!
\\
Don't forget to install the two-tier drive.
Phenomenon: In the installation of the motherboard with CD-ROM driver, originally thought to be able to experience the extraordinary quality of HD audio, did not think the sound card actually strike!
Cause: In HD audio, the drive is divided into two tiers. Some motherboards have a CD-ROM with the sound card driver is only "feature-driven", and just install it HD Audio sound card is not working, "bus driver" is necessary.
Solve:
In the current Windows XP system, "bus driver" is the Microsoft in the form of a patch package to provide updated drivers, readers can see the specific description at this address:

Let the chassis front interface also hd!
Phenomenon: The mic interface in front of the chassis can not be recorded, but it is normal to plug the mic into the jack on the motherboard.
Reason: In HD audio, each socket can perceive whether a device is plugged in (if there is a pop-up prompt), such a convenient requirement jack has a device for sensing access to the switch circuit, the older chassis of course, the front of the audio panel does not have, so the system does not know you have inserted the mic, nature will not be recorded.
Solve:
If it is Realtek's ALC series sound card, clear the Audio Control Panel software "Disable front panel jack detection" option, turn off the front panel's perceptual function.
If it is Huawei CMI9880 sound card, then in the Control Panel audio and audio device properties in the Voice tab of the recording section set to "C-media Azalia Front panel."
