are you certain you have realtek on your motherboard as it can be a different manufacturer of sound chip?

it's not what you think...
Realtek makes 2 differrent sound cards for computers the good and the bad as we call them.
1. is just regular realtek there drivers are in windows 8 no issues there
2. is a sound card called AC97 it's a realtek sound card with a nasty driver that is only functional in windows vista windows 7 and windows xp there hasn't been a update for windows 8 as of yet because the users are few and far in-between

Update there might be a solution....
users are reporting that if you install the 64 bit version of windows 8 that the realtek driver for windows 7 is functional in windows 8 but the only sound they have gotten out of it was from iTunes

ac97 is an old sound card.you might just have to go out and buy a compatible sound card for win8.one thing puzzles me tho,wont windows install its own high definition sound driver and if so how does that work?

the machine i have got works well with any windows
as its a built in sound card with the bundle I have bought
no need for me 2 rush out an buy a new sound card - as the sound is working fine just now
it just happens occasionally; when it dose it's annoying.
i am not the only with a problem with windows 8 and sound as there is no fix
i have the latest drivers for it
personally just think there is a problem with windows 8 itself
may just go back to windows 7
you'll never walk alone

I had issues with the driver Windows 8 installed for the Realtek (ALC662) on my motherboard I had problems with both the microphone and speakers being about half the level they should. I tried updating with a driver from Realtek's website which gave me the same results.
The 2+ year old Windows 7 driver finally fixed the problem.

said before windows 8 is a major problem with sound

my other question is why do users say upgrade your pc
it basically means they have no clue in what there talking about

Not sure why you would say that. You had a driver issue in a brand new version of Windows. If you want to avoid that sort of thing you should always wait for Service Pack 1. That's not specific to Windows 8 or sound. That's all versions of Windows and drivers.

When Windows thinks it's getting a message from the hardware when it hasn't, the exact problem you mentioned in your first post, in my experience it's a driver problem at least 90% of the time.

u2r1, if it works in win7 & below but not win8 then is a driver problem with win8. all devices in windows whether win8, win7 or whatever needs drivers for that device to work. what is the make & model# of the computer or motherboard to see what you have & if compatible to win8?
