Nvidia is probably licensing the technology from Realtek and integrating
that into their chipset, using it as a little extra advertisement at the
OS level.
Try something different if you don't make any headway. Go to
http://www.opensound.com/
And get the latest drivers. The sound code is better quality and you
actually get support. Doesn't cost anything. Basically higher quality
for free.
