Improving your onboard sound quality without spending more. You guys should try it out!
*Do note that this modded drivers is only for Realtek HD.

I've personally tried it, right before i attempt to install Realtek HD R2.19 *phew*. After installing the modded drivers (Realtek X-Fi), the sound quality is indeed much clearer. However, the mids seems to be quite engaging and the sound is a little grainy. Hardware still plays a big part in sound quality still. :)

I'm pretty sure you guys will need this.

Are you looking for a software mod or modding of the components?

I'm looking at a better driver set than the one currently offered on the Envy24 website. The original driver that come with the soundcard was plenty good but after an upgrade to the latest version, I lost bass and sound stage narrowed..I'm not able to roll back to the original driver despite removing manually from registry and removing all installed files.

Hmm, I tried searching but found none.

Have you looked at the settings?
