Windows 7 :: Asus M50vm Series Driver

ASUS M50VM-X1 Issues

May 7, 2009

I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Everything went without a hitch and is mostly running smoothly. However, there are a few little things I'd like to get some help on if possible. I've Googled everything thoroughly but can't find much on these issues:

1. As of now, I'm running all stock drivers. Everything seems to be fine, except in my Device Manager, I show an uknown device located on "Intel(R) ICH9M LPC Interface Controller - 2919".

The chipset on my notebook is a Mobile Intel PM45 Express Chipset +ICH9M. I've not attempted to install any Vista chipset drivers, seeing as how everything else seems to be running fine I didn't want to chance screwing something up. I assume it's because I'm running the stock drivers, but just want to make sure.

2. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS. I'm using the latest NVIDIA Forceware 185.81 drivers. In virtually all video that isn't 720p or 1080p, the video appears fairly pixelated (or grainy, blocky, whatever you want to call it.) This is especially apparent in Skype 4.0 video calls when the video is enlarged. I'm using DirectX 11 (although the NVIDIA control panel shows it as DX10.) I do not have any codecs of any sort installed. Anyone else experienced this issue?

3. My audio is onboard Realtek HD, but I'm currently using the stock Windows 7 audio drivers since they seem to be working fine. (I've heard the latest Realtek drivers are Win 7 compatible, but I'm again hesitant to install.) The only hitch is that I plug my laptop into an HDMI flatpanel with built-in audio when at home and use headphones when at work; but Windows doesn't seem to recognize when the HDMI audio is not connected, meaning I have to manually set my headphones (which originally showed up as a separate device but for some reason now operate under 'Speakers') as the default device, then switch it back to HDMI when I get home. On Vista, it of course was automatic.

4. The last question is probably something only other ASUS notebook owners will have experienced, but in case they are any out there: Has anyone got any of the additional functions, such as the multimedia aspect of the touchpad, or the volume, wireless, et al controls on the keyboard to work?
