Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

[Dwarf]

Exactly. It's no good buying a top of the range motherboard only to find that there is a complete lack of support for on-board peripherals. One of the important things to look for when buying motherboards is driver support, either from the manufacturer and/or the component manufacturer. A motherboard may have some great features, but unless the support is there in the form of driver updates to correct any problems, I tend to steer clear.

Reminds me of precisely why I ditched my ASRock X48 board...

Thanks to the OP.
All sound probs have been resolved.

R2.39 is out now: Realtek

Thank you Crispy. First post updated.

The latest incarnation R239, once installed, prevents the microphone working on my Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 within the Logitech Vid IM application (doesn't affect Messenger or other applications I tried...) which isn't all that useful... :huh:

Rolling back to R234 where everything was sweet...

I can't even get the Logitech software (neither v1.0 from CD nor v1.1 LWS110_x64.exe from download) to install on my Win7 Pro 64-bit system.

Seems to get started, asks me to plug in the webcam (a newly purchased QuickCam Orbit/Sphere AF) which I do, the USB actions occur and the drivers get installed, the camera gets recognized and the right name appears, push NEXT, I leave the option checked to install Logitech Vid software and push NEXT, then cement wall!

Message box telling me that "we were not able to install the software, due to any of the following reasons:

1. note enough disk space
2. another install is in progress
3. you do not have permission to install software on this computer
4. your installation media is damaged
You can restart your computer and attempt the software installation again.

Obviously, a problem with the Win7 64-bit installer. Talked with Logitech and they have no idea... never heard of it. I'm still waiting for a call-back from 2nd-level.


However... the drivers for the webcam DID seem to truly get installed, and the device is actually usable with Skype.

Microphone on the camera (as well as speakers) works fine with Skype application, with brand new Realtek 2.39 just installed (ALC883 chip, Supermicro C2SBX board).

v2.39 works perfectly for me... AND THE EQUALIZER IS FINALLY BACK!!!!!!

Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find the equalizer ANYWHERE with 2.39 installed. If someone has found it, please tell me where it is or if it even exists...

Truthfully I really miss the old XP Realtek HD Audio Manager...

cant wait to customized the heck out of that when i am finally able to get my tablet working...

 

[deathand]

Thanks. It turns out I was looking in the speaker area from the taskbar and not in the control panel. This is far better than the MS Drivers!

when i set my volume to 100% the sound starts the crack but once its lowered to 50% its fine... ....i wonder if any1 else is having this issue??

 

[LFB]

Wow... that's really awesome!

Graphic equalizer... great improvement...

when I have mine turned up, moving the mouse will cause crackling some times. No biggie, I have it turned up way to loud anyway!

I am glad they have made so many improvements, and I am sure there is a new version coming out.

 

[LFB]

Ok... I was heaving some... clicks... and others noises.. like lags in the middle of the songs... with this 2.39 version

So I went to the RtHDVCpl.exe and run it in compatibility mode: Vista SP2... and now everything is running smooth now...

You should try it, if having any sound problems...

 

[n8w1ng]

well i still cant get rid of those crackling sounds...n the worst comes when i watch online streams...the sound is lagging,crackling u name it...it actually happens while listenin to normal mp3 as well ,but in a lower degree...ive got no idea what to do, coz i feel no difference by using the latest drivers...


edit: i just noticed a weird thing... when i go o realtek HD audio manager-->info, it shows audio driver: 6.0.1.6000 ....(as ive mentioned above, ive installed the newest drivers) is that normal?

thx

My audio's good again but with a little bit of crackles and pops now and then...

When you're getting the crackles and pops try opening the Realtek Control Panel.

Something I've noticed in the 32-bit version is that there's some kind of an input device loop going on, the control panel keeps reloading as if the user is changing back and forth between mic and line input. Each time this happens the sound is interrupted with a pop.

Have noticed that since installing the latest driver (R239) that the subwoofer on my Acer 6920 no longer works...it worked fine on all other releases of the Realtek driver but with this update there is no sound from it :huh:

You just can't win...there's less snap, crackle and pop with the latest update but the audio now sounds as if it's via a tin bucket on the laptop speakers

On my custom build PC I installed the basic ones as well as the HD ones, I wonder if I can do that on a HP machine.
