To tackle the pesky audio issues plaguing the MSI Claw 8 handheld, Intel has introduced a new graphics driver that’s turning heads. The driver update, specifically designed for Core Ultra Series 2 processors, brings relief to users of the Claw 8 AI+ and Claw 7 AI+ by rectifying the audio glitch introduced with the previous Arc Graphics driver 32.0.101.6874.
Users across the board were facing frustrating audio disruptions, impacting both sound quality and overall performance. Intel initially recommended rolling back to the 6795 driver as a temporary solution, and some users found success by disabling Intel AI Boost. However, many continued to experience problems, including 100% CPU usage and extended loading times.
Intel’s recent graphics driver update, Arc Graphics 32.0.101.6877, aims to deliver a permanent fix. According to the release notes, the update targets handheld devices like the MSI Claw 8 AI+, ensuring a smoother audio experience without performance hitches.
This update is particularly crucial for Claw 7/8 users, who should promptly download the latest driver to resolve any lingering issues. Notably, users of the earlier Claw 7 with Meteor Lake processors are unaffected, as the issue is isolated to the Core Ultra Series 2.
