U810 Review

So as I had mentioned in my overview of the U810, the audio on the U810 could really use some work. It isn’t a powerful audio processing device and I find that it stutters a lot especially when trying to use the webcam or even a high quality video or audio file.

That being said there is hope an as I suspected it does seem to be driver related. So I don’t believe it to be completely Fujitsu’s fault (even though they did put the audio device in the unit to begin with). The issue is with the Realtek audio drivers. If you go to Realtek’s website, you can download an updated version of the drivers that come pre-installed on the U810. Keep that page bookmarked in your browser and stop at it frequently to check and make sure that your audio drivers are always up to date. If there is ever an improvement in performance for audio on the U810, it will most likely come in the form of a driver update.
