    I see an HD Audio controller warning in Device Manager. Should I download 13.1 again and reinstall?

    Looks AMD reloaded the v13.1 drivers on their site because they swapped x64 HD Audio driver from x32 and vice versa...but only x64bits have been corrected at this time of the day. This is mainly for Windows 8

    Great quality control they got going.

    13.1 seems a bit buggy. 12.11b has been trouble free for me. I just downloaded 13.2 beta...

    Hello Juan,

    Looking at your motherboard's specs, it may be the Realtek HD audio driver it's wanting.

    Hope this helps, :)

    Thank you for your answer Shawn.
    I installed the last version of Realtek HD drivers a few days ago when I did a fresh UEFI install.

    For some reason the AMD drivers failed to update on first reboot, but I just rebooted again and they got updated. No more warning in Device Manager.

    Thanks again Shawn.

    I got that too ussually that means either you TV screen flat panel sound wasnt configured correctly i had this because i use two screens once in a while

    i didnt configure the bigger screen with switching then after left yellow caution

    you can delete it and restart the pc and go away if not then update your audio driver files

    Oh i see you fixed it never mind case closed

    On my system I show 2 HD Audio Controllers in Device Manager.

    ID 1002 - is my Radeon HD 6880
    ID 10EC - is my Realtek Audio Chip.

    So you need to look at the hardware ID to see what device was showing bad.
