I must say i am NOT realy enjoying my time with the DP45SG, but something keeps me wanting to try fixing it after spending my hard earned money on something I can NO longer return for a full refund.

Audio: IDT 92xx Audio Driver 6224.3 v182 has problems after installing.

Fresh install of windows 7 64bit
windows updates
REBOOT
Install Nvidia driver so i can see better
REBOOT
install audio driver so i can activate the optical spdif output (for some reason the MS driver does give me a working spdif?)
asks me if its ok to restart and i give it permision to
During the restart procedure it tells me the system is hung trying to play the logoff sound. I can force it closed or cancel and wait. Canceling and waiting never works. Force it closed and the computer reboots finally.

Next reboot you can install 6244.3 v182 over itself and it seems to not care this time during the restart and plays the logoff withoug hanging.

Is this a known problem?
Is there a fix for this?
Has anybody else noticed this? (yes i know everyone threw this MB away)
