        r2.70 is the same ones found on here

        what you mean by distortion? sometimes you have to set 7.1 audio and disable the side speakers to get 5.1 sound

          Sorry I was a bit unclear, it's only the sound from the microphone that's distorted. Other sounds are ok.

            have you checked in all the microphone settings to try and eliminate the distortion? sorry but I don't know much about this

              I think I've tried all settings.
              Seems like I'm not the only one: GA-X79-UD5 & Windows 8 x64 = Onboard Microphone distorted
              I bought a usb headset now, that one works fine. I have logged a case with Gigabyte, will post their answer.

                Re: Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 distorted sound

                I installed a beta bios F12p, and that helped!

                There is also new 2.71 version drivers out from realtek:

                  I found that increasing the Microphone quality in the sound setup helps... I've that issues on a few other boards now... setting the microphone to 96k usually did the trick.
