I like 7 - really I do. But its beginning to irritate me over one issue.

The bugger is solid as all get out - except for an audio problem.

I run onboard sound - its a realtek HD Audio chip. Has run like a champ in xp and Vista. Runs solid on 7 for some things - but others it is as flaky as it comes.

DoW Soulstorm crashes within 2 minutes of gameplay.
Videos from the digital camera are hit and miss in causing crashes due to audio.

Of course I went and updated my drivers - even tried using base manufacturer drivers - still same issue every time. I know its audio because the audio stream hangs right before I BSOD.

Onboard audio is normally as solid (if less than stellar performing) as it comes. For 7 to struggle with a MB standard chipset - and its handling of errors - is disappointing.

Still its a solid os - but I am not happy with it at the moment.
