I Am Now Sure That Realtek Sound Codecs Suck. They Slow Ur Computer Down, And They Are Found On Gigabyte Motherboards. The Motherboards Themselves Are Fin, Fabulouse, But The Audio Chips Gigabyte Use From Realtek Have This ****iest Drivers I Have Ever Scene. Some Gigabyte Motherboards Have C-media Chips. Go With Them, They Dont Slow Your Pc Down. Just Wanted People To Know As I Have Toi Computers At Home With The Realtek 880 Codec And One With The 882 Codec, And Both Ran Slow When Opening Programs, Compared To When I Put A Pci C-media Car In, It All Speeded Up. Amazing Ayyy

Thanks for the information there Granto, always good to find out this type of things from 'personal experiences'

I have to admit I agree about the whole "Realtek Sound Codecs Suck", I much prefer adding in an additional sound card e.g Creative Sound Blaster.
