IS7 Audio Quality Poll
Are you satisfied w/ the Audio on your IS7??
[Please ID your board model; mine is a straight IS7, no G, no E].

------

I have read several folks complain about the IS7's audio. Personally,
mine sound pretty good. I have a large collection of well ripped
mp3's, and good speakers (monsoon planars, tho only 2 channel w/ sub).
It sounds fine, no background noise, no noticable distortion. It will
play loud w/o problem too. Microphone input is ok, tho I don't use it
really.

Now, I have a rev 1.2 board, circa Jan 04. I understand they made some
improvements for that rev. I also have the latest drivers from
RealTek, 3.58. [Aside: the sound effects util/tool is not great, tho
again I prefer to not use an environment. But why can't you save/load
your own hand-made environment? You can only mod and overwrite an existing
one. dumb...]

So, could others chime in w/ their opinions, good or bad: are these
complaints just a few bad boards, or is it really just a bad
implimentation?

Just curious, and it might help future buyers...

The other half has an IS7G that I built for her.
Its got to be one of the first ones.
There is bad digital noise pickup. If you listen carefully, you can
'hear' stuff like web pages scrolling !!
Its not so bad that its unusable. For everyday use its fine, in fact,
I'm pretty sure we've digitised some VCR and DVD clips for some project
work on it and nobody's complained about the audio.
That said, I don't think I could listen to music through headphones from
the thing :-(
