Windows 7 - Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

Whoa, already? You beat me to it..

Lol.

Where do you get the update history info Shawn, I can't seem to find it anywhere on their site..

Any news for drivers for the AC97? This is weird, but on my old old old Pentium 4 system (3.2 Ghz, 2GB Ram, Ati HD2600xt AGP) the sound is working completely fine, and it is an older realtek sound device, the AC 97. I think the driver I am using is a mix of Vista/XP drivers, since I see the same old Sound Management program from 2004, and not the new redesigned sound management which I see on the Alienware m15x with Realtek HD Audio. It is better though, because even though it looks dated, I can still apply global equalizer settings adjusted by me and not just some presets. In the other hand, I have to let you know that after upgrading the Bios on the Alienware m15x and finding a process that was taking almost all CPU power and memory, I no longer experience sound issues. The process was the power management from Alienware.

Hi israeljamesbond,

You're in luck. There is a new driver available, version 6302_Vista_Win7_PG537.zip available here: Realtek

some busy busy busy bees they have been this month!

Hi Aaron,

It was in the readme.txt file included in the ZIP download.

Ahh, I'm so used to seeing it displayed somewhere on the sites, I didn't think of that. Thanks..

You're welcome Aaron.

Though it is the latest version, my PC still have no sound. Actually, I have to install the audio driver from the original mainboard driver CD and of course it works perfectly@!
