Looks like Realtek has dramatically slicked-up the new skin when installing 2.70 driver package on a mobo/chip that is very recent.

dsperber... how do you get those interfaces? I've just installed an (original) Intel DZ77GA-70K motherboard and am only getting a very limited interface for the Realtek Audio Manager.

Have tried uninstalling completely, installing an older Gigabyte download, installing from the newer Gigabyte drivers, etc., etc.

No matter what i do, i just keep getting the attached image.

I have a thread here, http://www.sevenforums.com/sound-audio/275431-realtek-audio-intel-dz77ga-70k-no-controls.html where fireberd has tried to help.

But, whatever i do i keep getting the attached screen and not the Audio manger options.

TIA....

Well first, I don't have an Intel Z77 board, nor do I have a Realtek ALC899 chip in my board.

Instead, I have an ASUS P8Z77-V Pro board, which has a Realtek ALC892 chip. And I have a second machine which has an ASUS P5Q3 board which has a Realtek ALC1200 chip.

The HD Audio driver package for my P8Z77 machine came directly from the ASUS site, from the downloads available for the P8Z77-V Pro for "audio". In particular this shows up as 6.0.1.6699 (shown dated 9/26/2012 on the ASUS site) once installed. This download didn't come from the Realtek site but is the one which has the surprising black "skin" you see in my post above for that machine.

The official Realtek site was the source for the 2.70 driver installed on my second P5Q3 machine, and it shows up 6.0.1.6662 (dated 6/22/2012 on the Realtek site) and has the standard "skin" you see in my second set of screenshots in my post above, for that machine.

Interestingly, the latest audio download available from the ASUS downloads for my P5Q3 is only 6.0.1.5859 (dated 7/27/2009 on the ASUS site), which is obviously not close to the latest 2.70 6.0.1.6662 available from the Realtek site. Obviously ASUS has stopped updated the downloads for the old P5Q3 board.

But then the Realtek site does not have the 6.0.1.6699 version dated 9/26 available for this board from ASUS itself. Perhaps ASUS has a pre-release of might be coming out eventually from Realtek itself. Don't know. Nevertheless, there's no question the ASUS driver (which might well work on your Intel Z77 board, but who know) is newer (9/26) than Realtek's (6/22), and a later build version (6699) than the Realtek build (6662).


Otherwise, I find it very odd that you don't show a "sound effects" tab on your SPEAKERS group items.

It is the "sound effects" which supports the graphic 10-band EQ is where you set tone control, which I assumed was available through ALL Realtek chips, so it's a real surprise to me that for some reason you don't have "sound effects" tab and thus also don't have EQ/tone control.

Anyway, that's all I know. I wasn't prepared for the black "skin" in that 6699 driver package from the ASUS download, but there it is.

Thanks for that but where on earth is the link for the download...? Going to Support, identifying the product and clicking on Download, just brings me back to the same page!

Well, you're right! Can't explain.

But this URL seems like it is the exact page for the product's DOWNLOAD tab. Then you can specify your OS, and I think the rest of it should work.

I specified 64-bit Win7. Then expand the AUDIO item and you'll see two links, with the first one being the newer. Click on the "GLOBAL" download method, not the "Global (DLM)" which is "download manager".

 

[jhabrix]

Thanks for that dsperber. Got it, but no luck. Only the driver installs - not the interface.

And yes, completely uninstalled previous drivers and then did a fresh install...

Well, the skin does show the "ASUS" logo. And it's a different build number from the latest Realtek 2.70 driver on their site.

So based on your results it seems like they're also checking the motherboard itself for one of their own, before producing that alternate skin. Would at least seem plausible, since you don't have an ASUS board so it would be inappropriate to show the "ASUS" logo.

I'm tempted to try it on my other ASUS board (P5Q3) with the ALC1200 Realtek chip, currently running official Realtek 2.70.

 

[jhabrix]

Yup... seems like all of them check the mobo. fireberd, in the thread i pointed you too earlier, has also posted various download options. None work. In all cases, just the driver loads with the same interface as the screen shot i posted... Oh well... guess i'll have to live with it.

Well, interestingly it installed successfully on this second machine, but with the standard "skin".

Yes, the driver is definitely now the newer 6.01.6699 as shown on the ASUS site in the audio downloads for the P8Z77-V Pro board instead of 6.0.1.6662 which is the official 2.70 Realtek site driver download. And yes, the logo in the lower-left corner shows ASUS.

But the skin is still the original standard one, not the new sleek black one that showed up on my P8Z77-V Pro board with the ALC892 Realtek chip.

Oh well.
