Version: Realtek AC'97 Driver (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003) A4.06 (10/01/2008)
"Worked to fix Fujitsu Nseries Lifebook headphone issues"
Pros: Worked well, i did go through the extra step of uninstalling the sound card before installing the drivers. restarted the computer and went surfing to test. Plays videos with correct (intelligible) sound. Headphones did not work before this.
Cons: None yet just installed and tested. Also, if there are cons I may never know, working on Mom and Dads laptop.
Summary: Easy Peesy.

Summary: I was experiencing severe sound distortion in Skype, and installation of this updated driver fixed the problem.
