z97 Gaming 5-First PC build-major/deal breaking sound issue

[kristhenp65]

The sound coming from the Motherboard, front panel audio jack and the audio jack from the IO at the back is EXTREMELY distorted. It is absolutely horrible, the volume is also extremely low, the sound is distorted and cuts out very often. This has rendered my speakers and headphones useless and is a possible deal breaker-if i do not get assistance i will have to replace this motherboard with another version. i have updated realtek drivers, latest bios version etc.

have you tried with different speakers sets?
what os you are running?

have you tried with mainboard out pc case placed over non conductive surface?

Believe it or not, .7293 is indeed the latest RealTek driver for the 892.  Kudos for MSI for getting it posted--first time I've seen the MSI-posted set newer than the set available direct from the RealTek site.
