Vista x86 and Karajan Audio Module (ALC850)

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm really running into some troubles with this. Nvidia does not have any audio drivers for this device on their website. Automatic update has drivers for it, but they have serious crackling issues, and it's limited to stereo only (wouldn't be a problem but I have 5.1, and I really do enjoy it). Also with the stock drivers, there isn't a control panel or equalizer functions (i liked the XP one, i believe it was called the nvmixer).

There's another option for drivers, and that's the Realtek drivers. The problem with them is it sounds very tinny, and it has a buzz to it. Those problems are non-existant with the stock drivers.

Does anyone know of any beta drivers that I could use, or have any suggestions on how to fix the drivers that are out already?
