Tip: One way to obtain a compatible driver is to download it from the Win 7 driver downloads for your model notebook. But there are also a couple of versions after mine that are compatible as well. Otherwise, you can kiss SB Cinema 'goodbye'.Īs for the Realtek HD audio driver, you need to use an older one that is compatible with SB Cinema. If you did, you'll need to get the older BIOS from MSI Support and reinstall it. These changes killed compatibility with SB Cinema. When they did this, they made changes to the system BIOS and Realtek HD audio driver for many of their notebooks. They switched to A-Volute's Nahimic for sound effects. MSI abandoned Creative's SoundBlaster (SB) Cinema sound effects software over a year ago.
This is an area where it is very easy to 'break' your computer and the details are not documented well by MSI. You need to carefully research the sound drivers and effects software before you make changes. You may have made your notebook quicker again, but you also may have ruined its sound.
