Realtek ALC882D, Asus P5WD2-Prem.
Downloaded beta driver from Realtek, installed ok.
Did anyone get it to work???

I extracted the 5127 version from the ASUS site(5 parts) which I was using on
the XP partition. Ran the part 1 exe, after expanding all 5 parts to a single
directory, which deposited a gaggle of files in a C: Realtek directory. I
then went to the system level and expanded the sound devices and chose to
update driver from a specific location. Choosing the realtek directory, I
selected:
C:\<yourpathhere>\realtek\wdm\hdxrt.inf (process of elimination, hdart.inf
failed) this completed installation, but I got no sound, played with some
stuff, still nothing, gave up. Computer went into a deep sleep and when I
awoke it several hours later, BLARING SOUND, need to turn down the volume.

I had no luck getting the VISTA beta driver from the realtek site to
install. Figured what the *I**, I will try the package from ASUS, and now I
have sound. Can't vouch for the quality as I have not really played with it,
but at least I can hear.

Ok, now that my posts work, I will retype everything MS just threw away.
I had absolutely no success with the beta drivers from Realtek, could not
even get them to completely install.

I had earlier pulled the 5127 version from ASUS, for installation on my XP
side of my dual boot, so I went ahead and tried that. Execution of the
Part1.exe file deposited a group of files on C:\realtek..... . I then went to
the system(classic view) and chose sound devices, and then update driver from
specific location.

Tried to update to ...\...51005127-part1\realtek\wdm\hdart.inf { no success }
Tried to update to ...\...51005127-part1\realtek\wdm\hdxrt.inf { update
success }

Smiles all around, but still got no sound. grrrr. Played with volume levels,
nothing. Went about life for a few hours, came back and woke up the machine
from "sleep", and HELLLO SOUND!!!, had the volume up just a tad to high.

Anyway seems to be working fine.
