Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

[Andrei10]

I need a strange help with the new driver...
In this new version 6.0.1.7695 and the driver from softpedia is a "stupid bug", the equalizer presets are missing.
Using Dell Audio MAXX Wave.
I wish if anyone who have an older version and have the time and the patience to give me the presets numbers from "Soft Rock" preset.
WARNING: is a squishy operation because sometimes the line is moving +0.10/0.20 up or -0.10/0.20 down from the correct value.

PS: if i rollback driver it will give me the version when the all MAXX Audio presets are totally missing, like not working at all.
Thanks!

Happy New Year 2016!

Realtek HD Audio driver version 6.0.1.7701 (12/22/2015) available from MS Update Catalog for 32bit & 64bit Windows

@Andrei10: You can try rolling back to an older Realtek audio driver on your Dell computer. If that doesn't work, uninstall whatever Realtek audio driver you have, reboot and try installing this v7628 driver from Dell.

Hi, Brink,
Would the xp system, (old computer) that is having no problem with audio with ac 97 audio drivers from realtek (by intel),need to update to the latest driver? I am having no problem in using this audio driver and there is no sound problem.
Ofcourse, the realtek occasionally updating drivers for windows 7, which at present , has OS,but these are not signed nowadays. Please clarify

@jraju: you are using a different set of Realtek audio drivers. AC97 (legacy) audio drivers are NON-HD audio drivers but do work fine under Windows 7. You will need to obtain Win7 specific Realtek AC97 audio codec drivers (NOT the High Definition Audio Codecs) from the Realtek web site and not use the XP-based audio drivers on Win7.

It's okay to use un-signed Realtek AC97 audio drivers on Win7. However, the signed ones (aka. Microsoft WHQL approved drivers) are only available from the Microsoft Update Catalog site and the latest version available from there is v6.0.1.6305.

@brink: v6.0.1.7709 now posted at MS Update Catalog for 32bit & 64bit Windows
WHQL for Windows from Vista to Ten

Hi, erpster
Thank you. But i have purchased every hardware compatible with xp at the time of purchase. Would the same support windows 7 also? For example, windows 7 needs aero drivers, but i did not have those. I have graphic drivers for xp.
Intel has stopped all support for their old system and their update drivers program gives only blank page when auto update drivers option is selected.
Is it not strange that a organisation like intel stopping support to old mother boards. It is unfair. When a system works, it should get all the support it needed. No body wants to change the fridge if it is working correctly or the washing machine if the automated program works correctly for years together. What is your take on it, brink.

Hi, Brink.
I want your recommendation of drivers for the xp hard ware part that i have in my computer. Does the xp hardware audio , would be supported by the msoft or realtek windows 7 drivers. Would not be problem.

 

[Brink]

Hello Jraju,

What model number is?

 

[jraju]

Hi, It is realtek ac 97 audio.
This is the driver i see. It is shown as device name in sound controllers. I do not know the real mark. Because, before change of mobo and cpu , i have used the latest drivers from realtek.com, the full version exe. But this driver does not have any problem.
My question is will the hardware bought under xp, would work correctly on windows 7. I did have the problem, when i had sound problem and it was cured by downloading the latest drivers from realtek com. But came the alert it is not certified device , i went on to donwload.

 

[Brink]

It should work just fine with Windows 7 as long as that model number has Windows 7 drivers for it.

Hi, Brink.
In olden days, i think that even audio device or sound card is a inner part of a mother board. Am i correct? So, it means that i have now the drivers of the card, for windows 7, eventhough the old mother board was bought years ago.
I am really confused with update and rollback on drivers concept, will you please enlighten Brink me on it.

 

[Brink]

Yeah, most motherboards will have a build-in audio chip, but you could also install a sound card to use instead.

It doesn't matter how old the hardware is. It's the drivers for the hardware and if they are compatible with the installed Windows is what matters.

Usually, it's always best to get the latest version of drivers directly from the manufacturer.
