Hi Jen,

You will need to install KB888111 (High Definition Audio Driver Package)  
first, then the realtek drivers. I put kb888111.exe in my cmndlines.txt  
and put the Realtek drives in my drivers path and let Windows autodetect  
the realtek drivers.


If you need KB888111.exe let me know.

my cmdlines.txt

[commands]

"kb888111.exe /quiet /norestart /overwiteoem"
"noexec.cmd"
----snip----


Thanks
Paul
