RE: REALTEK High Definition Audio 1.48 (beta) for Vista x86/x64

I'm assuming "km" is a messenger from Realtek. This is the latest Vista
driver (x86/x64) from Realtek for their High Definition Audio. I've just
installed the driver, and in Device Manager the driver date is 11/1/2006, and
the driver version is 6.0.1.5317. I believe that this is the first time
(from Realtek, that is, not Windows Update) that all the driver files are now
digitally signed by Microsoft. The download hasn't been posted on Realtek's
http download page yet. The auto-installation file, however, is here:

ftp://202.65.194.18/pc/audio/Vista_R148.exe

The DACs (with a highest sampling frequency of 192kHz) and Realtek proprietary hardware content protection are applicable for DVD-Audio, previously only implemented in high-end consumer electronics, but now achieved by PCs with the ALC880(D) inside. The ALC880(D) is also the only High Definition Audio codec to integrate three stereo ADCs that can support a microphone array with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) technology simultaneously, significantly improving recording quality for conference calls. With this unique feature (3 stereo ADCs), the ALC880(D) can provide high-quality audio using S/PDIF to output analog data, or for multiple-source recording applications.

THANKS!! Downloaded it and it installed perfectly in RC1 and my sound card is
now working perfectly!! What a difference, and BETTER then with XP. The guys
at Realtek have done a super job. They deserve a medal and for getting it up
on their site before anyone else. All I can say is GREAT WORK, and thank's
for letting me know. I'm really pleased!
