So I just received my Quad edition envy 15t-j000 CTO in the mail yesterday, and so far I am loving it! However, I am having a little problem with the IDT audio driver that's connected to the Beats audio or whatever on this laptop.
So all I need to work is Skype and music basically, but I can't get seem both to be working correctly.
This is the problem:
When I have the IDT audio driver installed and updated, I have 2 options in my "playback devices", one being "HP/Speakers" and the other being "Communication Headphones". So when I am on Skype talking to someone, and I have the "HP/Speakers" option enabled with the other option disabled, then the other person on skype will have a loud wind sound that gradually increases in volume if he stops talking. It's very annoying, but at this point I can still have music on. So I tried disabling "HP/Speakers" with "Communications headphones" enabled, and then the Skype will sound great - no noise, no increasing wind sound, however I cannot hear the music. And if I have them both enabled, then I will hear my skype thorugh my headphones and the music through the speakers.
I'm not sure how to fix this, I've tried to update the drivers, update my BIOS, and nothing worked. Right now, I uninstalled the whole IDT audio driver and the windows 8 regular drivers came to the rescue and they work. But I really want the Beats Audio control panel and everything to work the way that it's supposed to.
So if anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know!
Thank you!
