Thanks for the tip!
about time, so no more robot voice pops and squeeks i hope
(the DP worked ok but from the CP it went a bit mental and was hard/impossible to get working correctly depending on your hardware revision.)

videos does not play smoothly in the developer preview edition.
Is there any solution for it?
Can you provide more information on this like what's your pc configuration and have you installed video codecs?
pc configuration
2 gb ram
2.93 ghz core2 duo cpu
256 mb graphics card
installed k-lite mega codec pack
I am already using windows 7 64 bit without any problem,but videos in windows 8 does not run smoothly.
Are you using intel on board graphic card?
It is possible that you dont have installed drivers properly.
And switch to VLC Player bcoz K-Lite codec pack and other Codec packs uses more Resources.Vlc is best.I'm using it And i'm not facing Any problem.
I have the same issue, a chug every 30seconds or so in all players, wmp, mpc & vlc, klite installed.
I assume its a video driver issue but ive tryed several now.
Intel i5
4gig ddr3
nvidia 420m (laptop)
windows Dev Pre 64bit
Nvidia 285.62 whql driver
Nvidia 290.53 beta driver
And yes I know its an alpha version and i shouldn't expect things to work properly but if anyone else has this problem or knows a solution let us know.
Bring on the beta
*edit
also happens with flash video (iplayer / youtube)
I have also tryed a different soundcard driver but with no luck.
I had the same issue on my CR-48. I fixed it by activating projector mode and popping in an external monitor.
i only experience a 5-10 second stall about every 45-50 minutes.
everything freezes but audio, then it all catches up and goes fine.
and only with win 8. win 7 was fine.
just tryed NVidia 280.26 whql drivers and got the same result
and yes all was fine under windows 7
ah well lm sure something will sort it.
*Edit
Ok just tryed an external monitor but the same problem persists. Doesnt matter if the external display is the only display or if its connected via "extended" mode.
Perhaps it has something to do with the metro ui. Ill try disabling it and see if that has something to do with it, ill also try a differant theme, maybe its like the overlay usage by Microsoft in windows 7. Ill post the results when im done.
*Edit 2
disabling metro ui- No change
changing theme (Non Aero)- No change
out of ideas, I guess in have to wait for Microsoft or Nvidea to catch up. Gah! I hate waiting :E
a small update :-
Turned out that my video problem and the occasional BSOD were all being caused by my WIFI drivers causing a "DPC-Watchdog Violation". As soon as I disabled it, video playback was smooth and no more random BSODs. Shall remain on a wired connection until Beta Release :E
My Wifi adapter is a Broadcom 802.11n.
Hope that helps some of you.
Hi, I'm trying to install Windows 8 64 bits Consumer Preview by DVD driver in my PC, but, it's very, VERY slow to install. I wait 1 hour to select the language. Why is happening this? For install my Windows 7 32 bits Ultimate was the same. Is my HD or DVD Driver? (I burn 2x in the DVD by Power ISO)
Thanks.

That software you mentioned should have died out years ago , but didn't. They propped up sales by seeding torrents that blahblahblah.... rant off.
Anyway, try a md5sum on the images and dvds.
I installed on a vm in less than 15minutes, and even with the annoying reboots it was fairly quick.
Check you bios for odd settings.
Are your floppy disk controller enabled in the bios? Since Windows Vista some Mainboards have problems with setup if the floppy controller is enabled! deactivate it and setup should run at normal speed!
Windows 8 is a big file on its own, if you're trying to install the 64 buy version its even bigger. Be patient or try the 32 bit version

It could also be that your drivers are out of date or that your computer has a slow disc speed

given that you said you had issues on another OS then its likely to be a hardware issue.
first suggestion is to make sure your using 32 bit DMA access in your BIOS, its quite easy to set that to UDMA 0 or even PIO mode by mistake, its also possible the drive or disks your burning from / to might not be as accurate as they should be, its also worth checking your download isn't corrupted, I had that issue on the DP but that failed to install rather than just being slow.
If your using older drives using parallel cables, make sure they are on different channels, ie not connected to the same cable (master slave)
you could try setting up a USB drive install, that would rule out the media drive altogether and limit it to your moby or HDD
Thanks guys, I will format my HD and try again in some days o/
how is your raid set up? Make sure you have ahci , I loaded 64 bit last night , took less than 10 minutes and I had a corrupted drive to begin with (that took me an extra 10 minutes by itself) but install of the OS was the fastest Ive ever had on a windows machine !
Slow DVD install
It sounds like you have a low transfer speed or a low read speed on the DVD drive. Because it took me just over an hour to install Windows 8 CP on HP ZD7249CL. it took about 15 minutes to install on my Home Built desktop (AMD Phenom X4 840 3.2Ghz, 8 GB of ram, SATA III, AMD HD5770). See if you can upgrade to a sata drive if possible.
My older DVD drive is SATA, the new one(from my old PC) is IDE, and the both took the same time.
I will try to make some changes in the BIOS and reinstall the OS.
So I post the results.
Thanks all of you o/
I'm curious....
Does windows allow imaging/installing from disk images for non corporate users ?
On my mac I image disks, and install whatever is needed from the images. Its magnitudes faster than waiting on cd/dvd read times.
Maybe someone here is familiar with how its done on windows ?
Windows has some of the most efficient installation methods of any OS, you can essentially build whatever you like and have a completed automated / unattended install

Any idea as to how to install realtek ac97 sound drivers in windows 8 release preview?
Holy crap I forgot about this thing for a while. I highly doubt you will find any. My old computer that originally had windows 98 (when my dad built it) had huge problems with that driver when upgrading windows, and when I got to vista I couldn't get anything for it.

ac97 is just the codec, its a standard codec used on most motherboards and sound devices since 1997. My motherboard is relatively new and supports the HD Audio codec but often it defaults to ac97 for compatibility reasons.
I may be wrong and misunderstood the OP but I think the OP is meaning that the current ac97 drivers on realtek devices do not work with Win 8, it produces "robot" talk and doesn't function. I have the same issue and have yet to find a solution but I shall admit that ive not looked in to new drivers for a while as I just use HDMI pass through now

Oh ok. All this time I thought the AC'97 was a sound card made in 1997... Since I had a dedi sound card on that computer.

AC'97 is also the most common driver used for sound cards under Linux.
Roland
its a codec standard that the sound card uses to make noise its not a driver as such so yeah Linux will use it as well

Okay.. So were do I find these codecs compatible with win8?

So i have Windows 8 Pro x86 on a tablet i purchased a few months ago. Everything runs perfectly, except for the auto-rotation.
(its not a 'branded' tablet)
Basic Info:
Intel Atom CPU N550 1.5Ghz
2GB DDR3
(this may have to do with it....) its a x64 processor with x86 installed.
Multi-touch points
Device Manager info:
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (MicroSoft Corp WDDM 1.0)
Does anyone know if this is Hardware or Software related? any possible Fixes?

When i flip the tablet, the screen doesn't rotate. Its got the sensors to allow it to do so.

32 bit runs on both 64 and 32. Probably not that. Do you have access to your drivers if the tablet has any. This could be the problem.
Yeah. First advice is to make sure you don't have the orientation lock enabled. Open the Settings charm (anywhere, including desktop, is fine), then click/tap the Screen button in the bottom right (the one used for changing the brightness). Above the slider bar is a button that toggles whether or not the screen orientation is locked.
If that doesn't work, double-check that you've installed the drivers for your tablet. They should be available from the OEM's website. Generally, Win7 drivers will work fine.
I have a HP Pavilion dv6 6c80el that mounts two video cards: an Intel 3000 graphics and a dedicated AMD 7690M XT 2GB . I installed Windows 8.1 and I can not configure the video card to use for each application as I did before with 7. Now with 8.1 when I click with the right button on the desktop and then I click on my switchable graphics cards comes out HydraGrid in the catalyst control center, which has nothing to do. How do I fix this? Using 3D modeling programs like 3dsmax that I run with the intel and work is impossible.
I'm afraid that Windows 8.1 does not support double graphics cards, is that it? Is there a way to solve?
Have you tried installing the OEM drivers and software for your computer? Win8.x should handle Win7 drivers just fine. OEMs (like HP) pre-configure a bunch of software in their Windows images, and when you install a new version you lose a lot of that. You can usually get it back by installing the stuff from the OEM's website, though.
Alternatively, it's probably possible (in the BIOS/UEFI if nowhere else) to disable one GPU in favor of the other. Turning off the Intel graphics entirely will cost a bit of battery life, but will mean that the more powerful chip is always used and therefore you'll be able to run graphics-intensive software.
Thanks for the reply but more or less I was able to solve this way:
I uninstalled drivers and software driver from Device Manager, and then I did a clean with driver sweeper. After that I rebooted and installed the drivers offered by HP (not those of AMD) and so it seems to have solved. I can configure the graphics chip to use for each application; sometimes throws a tantrum when I open the catalyst control center, but I'm happy that it works and is able to use to the maximum the pc.
Glad to hear it. Yeah, you can get better performance if you use the newest AMD drivers, but for weird integrated hardware like a lot of laptops have, you should get your drivers from the laptop OEM unless you're just going to run exclusively on one graphics card or the other.
I tried installing the latest drivers from AMD website (if I'm not mistaken are the 14.4 version and then there is 14.6 which is in beta). The problem is that by installing the official drivers AMD, you do the example of 14.4, after installation if I go into device management I recognize my video card like an AMD Radeon 6700m series; and at that point I can not change most video cards because as I wrote at the beginning of the window appears to me HydraGrid. The only way to be able to smoothly changing video adapters is to make it clear to Windows 8.1 that I have a 7690M XT and not a 6700m Series. Then I'm going to also include information about OEM drivers. Thank you
