Hi,
Yes, I have realtek and the bin files. Not sure what the problem is though
or why I would want to delete them, they are fine where they are :-)

Because I'm OCD. And I hate poorly written software.
I am in the habit of regularly cleaning up the system - deleting temp files,
clearing caches, defragging. Even more when I'm loading 20 or 30 progs on a
new machine. Old school, like back in the days when doing so made a huge
difference in system performance. It still applies today, but not as
critical as then (to some).
Thanks for your help.

| As I was installing new software I noticed that my local Settings TEMP
| folder was filled with foreign language .bin files. Delete them and they
| keep coming back after every reboot. I did a bit of research and found a
| possible reason: The Realtek HD Audio Manager. If you open it you will see
| an " i " in the lower left corner | down list. It is LANGUAGE and it is set to AUTO. A user noted in a forum
| that if he set this to ENGLISH and OK then the file did not reappear (right
| away). It works until you restart. I've checked it but I am not sure. I'd
| like to see if there is anything to this theory.

| If you have a Realtek Audio driver, or even if you don't, could you please
| check: C: \Documents & Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp and see if you have
| foreign language .bin files and post back here?
| Thanks

I just checked my second computer that I'm using the onboard Realtek sound on.
There were lots of files in that Temp folder since I've been going through a new
install, but no .bin files at all. I checked Realtek settings and languages was
set on "Auto." I changed it to English and rebooted. It was still set on
English and there were still no .bin files.
No .bin files in Temp on my main computer either, but I'm using an M-Audio sound
card on that.

Then maybe it is not the Realtek software. A red herring perhaps. Thanks for

Happy to do it. I admit to being a bit of a fanatic about such things myself
and actually have batch files triggered to clean some temp folders each time I
start XP. Since I haven't yet got around to setting up any on my second
computer after the recent reinstall of everything, any .bin files would have
still been there.

Yes, the built-in sound system on my ASUS motherboard is Realtek, and I

You're using the motherboard video? That might explain why I don't have the
.bin files although I'm using motherboard Realtek audio. I have a video card in
that computer and the onboard video drivers aren't even installed.

Hey Larc- I'm running an Asus P6T motherboard with onboard Realtek Sound
ACL1200 but I have a GeForce video card. The P6T does not have onboard
video. So that's probably a dead end too.
Nil - You might be on to something here. Could it be that the legacy AC97
driver be the culprit? I'm running the digital ACL1200 but I recall seeing
the AC97 drivers flash before my eyes.
I'm on it!

| An Update:
| My Motherboard uses an analog audio chip from Asus. The ALC1200 is NOT an
| official Realtek codec. It uses the driver (v5.10.0.5657), which is an Asus
| Driver for Realtek Audio Manager (huh?).
| See here:
| http://www.driverheaven.net/motherboards-networking-misc-forum/169002-realtek-a lc1200-confusion-questions-answered.html
| So I guess the question now is: Do you have Realtek Audio and an Asus
| mainboard?
I have the ALC655 chip on an ASUS board. Realtek claims the 655.

Cancel that! I just opened up one of the .bin files with a text editor,
and it's clearly been created by the Realtek AC97 driver. The first few
lines are:
[Program]
Caption=AC97 Audio Configuration
IconName=Sound Effect Manager
IconDesc=AC97 Audio Control Panel
I still don't know how to get rid of them. I've tried two or three
versions of the drivers but it made no difference.

Then I'm wondering why I don't have them (not that I feel slighted or anything).
I'm definitely using AC'97 (ALC655), but the drivers are rather old (5.10.0.5870
dated 6/20/2005).
My board is also ASUS (P5P800-VM).

My AC97 audio system seems to be ALC883. I'm using driver version
5.10.0.5591 (3/26/2008). I may have found these on the Realtek site,
because the latest ones for my P5L-VM 1394 motherboard on the ASUS site
are 5.10.0.5324 (from 2007). I guess the version numbering isn't
consistent.
One of my other computers also has an AC97 system built in ("Realtek
AC'97 for VIA). I forget what motherboard it has (maybe MSI). It uses
driver version 5.10.6090. It does NOT litter .bin files in the temp
directory.

Make a batch file that deletes them, and stick it in your startup folder.
That way, every time you boot the computer, they will be deleted.

If you are determined enough to find the offending software,
one trick is to make a directorys of the same name(s), to block
generating new files.
Thats the way I blocked a recurring virus infection in the past.
After having done that, check the log files for complaints about
not being able to open a bin file.
