Well, all that I can say now is, enjoy the **** out of it!

So does it work now?

I'm using the latest version of firefox, and it worked first time for me, so I'm not too sure why the plugins aren't working, sorry man Have a Google search to see what gives!

Nice man!!! Did you fire it up? I think it's amazing for an Alpha, I was expecting there to be a lot more things wrong with it, but it has to be said that the game is off to an excellent start.

I've just come off BC2 after a big session haha. Been on BF3 Alpha all day too :O
T88 sights are a bastard. I prefer to use that at mid-range, but anything else I prefer to use the GOL or the M24. Sometimes the 50.cal, but I don't find it as accurate as the GOL.

The bars in the volume controls work because the software is ok. And since external stuff works, then the only thing that could be wrong is the audio card itself within the motherboard.

Do you see the audio device active when the unknown device is there? If it's not there when the unknown is there, then it just didn't auto recognize. But if the audio is there, then the system is recognizing the device but something within the device is bad, it's not transmitting as it should.

Well it's one or the other right now. Either the audio portion of the motherboard is bad or the speakers themselves are bad.

What you could do is, uninstall the audio drivers manually, and reboot the computer and let it auto detect the sound card. It might work, but no guarantee.

Let me know how it works on your old laptop.

Do the speakers work on another computer? And is it USB connection?

And are you using an add on audio card or the motherboard's one?

I can only assume it's a hardware issue (with the sound card) if all the software is up to date and if the speakers work elsewhere.
