Windows 7: Realtek Sound Drivers

Hi,



I am trying to install Realtek HD Sound drivers; I have been unable to find any drivers that are written for Windows 7. So I have been downloading the Vista ones without success. I have tried loading them in compatibility mode and under windows vista and xp but each time it just says error during installation or OS not supported.

Does anybody know where I can find Realtek sound drivers for windows 7?



Many thanks,

Wizkid

Here you go sir

Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

Hope this helps

Scott

P.s. It is listed at the top of the Sound and Audio Forum.

The latest version (from my devise manager) from MS is:

Dated: 4/21/2009
Driver Version: 6.1.7100.0
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows

The version "Webadict" is directing you to is:

RELEASE DATE: June 22nd 2009
DRIVER VERSION: R 2.27
Driver Version In Device Manager: 6.0.1.5874

As you can see the first is the newest release from MS.

Did a Google search and came up this one: Realtek HD Driver 2.27 (the newest release) Not sure how this will coincide with the latest MS release, however, you might want to give it a go.

I find that peculiar, when did an "Update Driver" search from Device Manager it showed the Realtek R2.27 version as the latest update available. When I googled it, it v6.1.7100.0 did not show. Also, why would a driver dated 4-20-09 show a new build than one dated 6-22-09?

Just curious is all.

Whizkid, Realtek website shows the R2.27 driver as this: Vista, Windows7 Driver(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file)
