Updating Sound Drivers manually for your Acer Aspire laptop can be a tricky thing to do as you do not have exact information about the onboard sound chip or the discrete sound card installed in your Acer Aspire laptop. Installing the wrong sound drivers may make the problem worse. Benefits of VIA Vinyl Envy24. Prosumer audio performance: 24-bit resolution with 96kHz sampling rates, and a 20-channel 36-bit wide digital mixer. Huge range of connection options: 8×2 simultaneous input and output channels with the data sources being analog or digital including 96kHz S/PDIF integrated support. About Sound Card Drivers: Usually, Windows operating systems apply a generic audio driver that allows computers to recognize the sound card component and make use of its basic functions. When enabled by proper files, the characteristics of the sound card (like model, manufacturer, number of channels) are completely available to computers,. Audio professionals rely on sound cards to provide high-quality playback. These devices aren’t strictly necessary to play audio on a PC-the vast majority of systems can output sound good enough for the average listener without requiring dedicated hardware. But for those who do need to listen to something higher quality, a sound card is worth it.

Use in MythTV
DVB-C variants of the HDHomeRun devices are not well supported by MythTV versions prior to 31. That is: prior to v31 DVB-C HDHRs were seen as DVB-T devices which would work on some cable networks (by accident) but not others.
