When Acer will put an audio driver for windows 8.1 ? Now I use audio driver from windows 8 but is not full compatible with windows 8.1 because dolby home theater v4 works only in windows 8.

 

 

Sorry for my bad ENGLISH ....

    Same for me. Been looking around I can't find a solution for this, seems like dolby home theater v4 don't work in 8.1.

    I got an Aspire S5-391 and I installed 8.1 yesterday and installed all of the 8.1 drivers found on the Drivers and Manuals page. I found the dolby home theater v4 driver in the realtek audio driver folder and I managed to install it, but it just sits there and does nothing. Heres hoping for a fix.

    Dont know if this helps but I have had exactly the same problem with my Aspire 7720G now running the windows 8.1 pro preview evaluation copy build 9431, tried everything under the sun to get the Realtek HD audio working properly and ended up useing the asus realtek driver for windows 8 64 bit and as soon as I did everything including dolby and the external jacks came back to life as they should, now I have the problem that my crystal eye webcam wont work! device manager can see it and reports it is working ok, drivers load (tried 6 so far) but webcam just wont work? think Acer is getting a bit lazy when it comes to updates and drivers, I spent a lot of money on this Vista laptop when it was new and recomended it to many friends who purchased the same machine and now they are all looking at other makes due to driver problems after upgrading to windows 7 or 8, come on Acer catch up!

    This happens to me when I plug my headphone the sound disappear but when I unplug it the sound come backs.

     

    and if this problem happens even without plugging your headphones or other speakers than the laptop speakers try this.

     

    Control Panel > Sounds > Playback > Speakers Properties > Enhancements > Disable all Enchancements apply and click ok.

     

    and hope this helps you Smiley Happy until Acer fix it or Dobly release a driver for Windows 8.1

     

    Cheers!.

    Got an almost identical problem on my Aspire V3-371 after updating to Windows 8.1: I used the latest offiaicl driver package from the acer support website (Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.7027_W8.1x64), sound is OK, but Dolby Home Theater 4 isn't working right: It is supposed to be on, but equalizer etc. don't do anything.

    I tried installing, deinstalling, even the Realtek HD Audio reference drivers - but to no avail.  So this is an Windows 8.1 compatibility issue?

    Hi Guys,

     

    I was looking for Dolby Home Theatre 4 Presets and came across this thread.

     

    I have Windows 8.1 installed; I did a clean install instead of that Store Upgrade nonsense. I am using Windows 8 drivers for hardware that don't have a Windows 8.1 version yet. One of them is my audio driver (Realtek HD Audio) which also installs Dolby Home Theatre 4 and so far everything seems fine; the same as it was when I installed Windows 8.

     

    I guess I'm lucky or maybe it's because I did a clean install instead of an upgrade.

    Ok here is what I did and it worked for me Smiley Happy
    1.Go to Device Manager and uninstal realtek high deff driver
    2.Download the newest audio driver for windows 8 not 8.1 x64 or x82
    3.Install It and reboot notebook
    You should see the dolby driver working correctly now,If you still dont go to the  folder where you downloaded the driver and install The Dolby driver from folder named "PCEE4" Smiley Happy

    I tried a similar method, but had to go back to the Windows 7 drivers für my Aspire V3-731 (Windows 8.1). Now Dolby Home Theatre is working. I'd prefer properly working drivers for Windows 8.1 64, though.
