should I install realtek driver for vista 64

[krishcanag]

Hi

I recently un-installed my creative X-Fi sound blaster card and went back to default on board sound.
This is a dual boot PC.
On XP I installed the driver's from the CD supplied with motherboard.
For Vista 64, I seem to have a inbuilt microsoft sound driver that also provides 5.1 speaker output (which the realtek does not provide except on optical).
Is there any benefit in installing the combined driver on the gigabyte web page?

I would leave it alone if you like the sound and have no issues with it as it is. Otherwise just leave that installed and install the RealTek driver direct >>>

Vista 32/64 R2.12 >>>
ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/Vista_R212.zip

2.13 Direct NON FTP >>
