I'm currently (literally, I spent the whole week end on it) having the hardest time trying to get some decent sound from my Intel powered g62 HP notebook. Is it related to the article? I don't know. Is it a super funny coincidence that I should open LebGeeks and find this topic while working on the issue? Hell yeah :-)

it seems to affect only sata ports on Sandy Bridge motherboards, HP G62 does not have Sandy Bridge cpu
