PLUG IN YOUR MIC INTO THE BACK PANEL! If you have headphones like me, plug it into the back as well. THIS SOLUTION SOLVES THE STATICKY PROBLEM WITH REALTEK HDA AND CERTAIN GAMES (AND MAY SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN APPLICATIONS).įirstly, ditch the front panel mic. (usb and firewall work fine and are not related to this issue)
My setup is a EVGA 680i mobo with Realtek HDA 1.71 (latest drivers as of July 2007) and my case is a Lian Li V1200B Plus II with a front panel mic and head phone jacks as well as USB and firewall. This may be the same problem when people use certain applications! The bigger problem still occurs when I play games. HOWEVER, by doing this I can only enable mic functionality for simple programs such as Microsoft Sound Recorder.
