How to Stop the Echo on an ASUS Eee Netbook
- 1). Hold down the Windows logo key and press "R." Type "devmgmt.msc" into the dialog box and press "Enter" to open Device Manager.
- 2). Click the arrow button next to "Sound, Video and Game Controllers" to view the add-on cards. Double-click the sound card.
- 3). Go to the "Driver" tab. Write down the driver date and driver version. If the echo on the ASUS Eee netbook began after upgrading the driver or running Windows Update, click "Roll Back Driver" and follow the onscreen directions.
- 4). Go to ASUS Support if the driver rollback did not work or if the option is not available. Click "Download," then click "Start" from beneath "Model Automatic Detection." ASUS Support will detect your product model and take you to the download page.
- 5). Expand "AUDIO." Check the date of the driver; if the driver on the website is newer than the driver on the computer, click "Global" and download the file to the computer. Double-click the file when the download is complete. If the driver is not a new release, click "Uninstall" in the driver properties in Device Manager, then restart, to reinstall the sound card.
- 6). Double-click the "ASUS Audio" folder, then double-click the setup.EXE file to run the installer. Follow the on-screen directions to uninstall the current driver.
- 7). Restart when the driver uninstallation is complete, then relaunch setup.EXE to complete the upgrade.
- 8). Check the audio on the ASUS Eee netbook to see if the echo persists. If the sound on the computer still echos, click "Start," then input "SRS" into the search box. Click "SRS Premium Sound."
- 9). Click the On/Off button to turn off SRS Premium Sound. Test the audio. If the echo is gone, a setting in SRS Premium Sound is causing the problem. If the echo still exists, click "Start," then type "sound" into the search box.
