The SRS is just an enhancer, it can't work without the sound driver, so saying you don't have the original driver is a lie

nope.. i dun really install the via hd codec cause when i format my lappy for win 7 the driver for sound device is already there. correct me if i'm wrong besides when i install via hd codec that comes with the drivers cd, after restart it always bring a popup stating that 'srs premium sound had no sound card supported in your laptop'. dont know why though.... icon_question.gif

I know how you feel, I have used Realtek ALC888 before, its not that good, its worse than anything onboard I tested (Analog Device AD1988B, and this VIA chip). In games too it have borked EAX that sound very wrong.

Actually I quite surprised how well this VIA sound when I plug my headphone (Koss KSC-75), its totally listenable and rather nice even compared to my desktop

Windows 7 already have the driver ready for it, but it lacks some stuff that the real driver have, that is why you can use SRS without problem. The driver provided in CD have some problem, I don't use them, download from ASUS site on the link I give above

What you plan to use it for? Both are pretty similar, maybe the IN have better performance and battery saving because of Intel CPU, but don't quote me for that. For gaming HD 4570 is better, not by a mile, but definitely better, both are low end laptop anyway
