Hey gang, just built my new system (specs in sig) a few days ago and I am having problems getting my microphone working properly.

I am a wow player and our guild uses ventrilo for voice communication, now whever I speak they are telling me that I sound muffled and that there is a buzzing sound eminating when I try and talk. I installed the 5.10.1:4530 drivers off my mobo cd and have tried every possible setting in the soundmax and windows control panel to try and remedy this. I also tried everything I know of in ventrilo to root out the problem, all to no avail. I know the issue is not with my mic as it worked flawlessly just a few days ago on my pc that used and audigy 2 zs.

After searching the net I only found 1 updated driver for the audio device on the p5b wich is located here http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SO...oundMAX-AD1988-Driver-6-10-01-6030-WHQL.shtml
however after unzipping the files it looks like it is for windows vista only as it has folders for vista and vista 64, but mentions nothing of winxp.

I guess I'm wondering if any of you have a similar problem or might know what I can try to fix it with? if not am I just better off ditching the onboard sound and using my old audigy 2 zs?.

Haven't tried the Mic yet, but I do get an annoying popping sound when an MP3 or WAV file first opens.

The Audigy? Use it man!
 
Have you tried the latest one AD1988B_2KXP_510014580_DTS.zip at Asus ftp site ? -> HERE

It supposed to be lot of serious bug fixes at this release.
 
My mistake for not spotting its not a P5B-D mobo !

Btw, if plain P5B has the same audio chip, it should be no problem !
