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.
