I wish I could shed some light on it, but I methodically worked on the 3
driver issues separately, and found that SP1 didn't show up until all 3
were updated (UPEK, Intel video, and Realtek audio). At least version
of realtek doesn't create the awful distortion my laptop was plagued
with last summer. It wasn't until about 3 versions later, from
Realtek, that the distortion cleared up. When I bought my Toshiba in
the late spring, sound was ok. Along the way an update goofed it up big
time and there was no solution for me until Realtek went through several
iterations.
