Having not been able to find a reliable download source for new RealTek sound drivers other than those posing as "fuzzbusters" and selling snake oil cures for whatever ails a system, I relented on my older system.

I did find that replacing the standard SHIII with Grey Wolf does eliminate the sound distortion or brown noise phenomenon. However, Grey Wolf is not built for a 2.3Ghz system. It is very slow in loading.

On the newer system with a Intel dual core 3.2Ghz, as well as the Realtek AC97 driver, I obtain NO distortion either on the stock SHIII in STEAM or the much MODed Grey Wolf setup.

I agree that the noise is probably application specific. Yet I would like to update my drivers at a reliable RealTek site. I could find none.
