Updated my Vaio VGC-RC110G operating system from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7 Professional a few days back. The installation itself went smoothly but was disappointed that there were no suitable drivers for my on-board audio and the TV tuner (Conexant) that went with the computer. I searched the Internet for solutions to the sound problem but the suggested fixes didn't work at all. The Vaio support site has a Vista driver but it's packaged in an executable. When ran, the executable checks what OS is running and exits if it's not Windows 7. Sony should immediately update this executable to check for Windows 7 and allow the Vista drivers to be installed. A stand-alone Vista driver available as a download would make it even better.
Anyway, I finally gave up waiting for Sony Support to give me something that will fix the
on-board audio driver problem and went ahead and bought a
Riviera PCI Sound Card from Turtle Beach. After turning off the on-board audio from the BIOS. I opened the computer case and slid the card right on the only available slot. I then proceeded to install the software that came along including the Vista drivers and was soon listening to awesome music.
I love this sound card.
