Title: Gigabyte z78 Audio problems
Post by: albert_ender on April 21, 2017, 07:32:02 pm
Hi
I have long time audio issues with my g1.sniper.m5 socket 1150 z78 chipset
I am using intel i7 4790k for this with bios (latest version F10)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
All drivers last updated

My problem sometimes no audio or sometimes serious sound distortion.

From this forum I say a lot unsolved audio issue with gigabye boards using
Sound Blaster Recon3Di

On board installed TI OPA2134 and in the box I got additional chip called by TI 4562na

So , I am asking If I replace the TI OPA2134 with TI 4562na can solve the issue?

Thanks

In second opinion if I remove the op-amp chip from board and replacing nothing
Is it Ok too?

I believe the problem is with the Creative Recon 3D software.  I think the optional chip you have changes the frequency response.  Have only done a small amount of research on it.  Won't hurt to try.

Additional thing is I am using Windows7 64bit
In Gigabyte site for this motherboard release a new audio driver for windows10 64bit
called by Creative Audio driver [RC1.11] by date 2015/09/01
Could be the solution still my OS is win7?

My feeling still it is not a driver but hardware problem.
My reason for that if it was software (driver) problem after restart may work but never works.
Only after I cut the power (AC Current to PS) then resupply power and restarting PC it works.

What happens if you uninstall the recon 3d software and use windows sound drivers?  If that works, its the software.
