Underwater audio on Win7

Hi

I followed a guide here on how to get audio working on a win7 guest (Fedora13 host), and it works to a degree, but unlike where the OP said after the legacy drives were installed it sounded great, mine sounds like it's underwater with a lot of static too.

Any ideas if which side I should be looking at to fix this? Any other ideas?

For Windows 7 32 bit, the driver is in Windows Update, for 64 bit you need to grab it from the realtek site (you can do that too for the 32 bit system though). However, there are some issues with sound in Windows 7 (and probably Vista too) because of the drivers/hardware combination along side the virtual environment. This is not that easy to solve, it needs to be done by the VB devs. It requires a new piece of emulated hardware and building that can be a bit of a problem as I'm sure lots of bugs will appear with it.

Hi,

I installed the drivers from the realtek site, and I do have audio, it's just very garbled, do I need different drivers or is something else the problem? I I'm running 32 bit Fedora 13 as the host and 23 bit win7 as the guest.
