Ok, so basically, same as before... Just that I need to use this display driver uninstaller in safe mode. then the 327.23 driver modded with your inf file like before?

J95, I don't know if you saw my other post on another thread, but I was saying that I got my IDT sound card working again with the 780m GTX installed in my M17x R3 without the use of an external USB sound card. Another person tried what I did and it worked for him. Hopefully this will save some people the money from upgrading to the R4 mobo just to get another sound card.

- - - Updated - - -

I wanted to make a separate thread to discuss this, but idk how to do that. Is that sound issue still the same or am i really late?

[J95]

Mine is still disabled, tried many workarounds...guide updated http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m17x-aw-17/4132-alienware-m17x-r3-upgrading-gtx-780m-post57970.html#post57970 yeah you could start a thread discussing the issue.
