I am having issues with frames per minute dropping down to 5 to 6 frames per minute and traced it to the Realtech HD audio driver. I read the sticky instructions for Audio issues in Frodo and removed the Realtech driver.... The problem is locating the correct HD audio driver for my ASrock A75M board. I have looked high and low and searched (I thought I had seen a link in the past to the correct driver) I just can't find it and its driving me MAD! The stock windows driver only allowes me to output in stereo 2 channel..... Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

This is likely what you want http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pag...river.aspx

Which processor/GPU are you using? If it's an AMD APU, you might be able to find the right driver here.

Edit: This is what you get for not refreshing the page before you post, hah.

Also make sure the setting in system/audio are set properly. For example, If I have AC3 capable receiver checked, I will get only 5-6 frames per second. I believe that is either because my TV isn't really capable to decode the AC3, or the driver will not pass it through properly.

Thanks for the replies, I will try the beta driver but if I am correct this will only cover the graphics part of the APU. I am running the AMD A3400 Llano processor. I have tried un-checking each audio option one at a time with no luck. While reading the audio sticky for Frodo I see that there are known issues with the Realtech HD audio driver and it says to only use the AMD Audio driver. I will try the Beta and see. Thanks again for the quick response.

Must be a Realtek and AMD issue, as I have a Realtek with onboard Intel GPU and it works fine as long as I don't check that one option. For what it's worth though I am just using the default MS drivers for the Realtek audio chip.

No joy..... I tried the Beta driver and that appears to be a graphics driver only. I can not find a driver to replace the windows based driver for the HD audio. Keep the ideas flowing.....

I had the same issue and found an auto detect driver download program on AMD's website. I downloaded and installed it, and it ran the proper driver updates for my board. did you look for that on AMD's website? Here is the direct download link:
