Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

[Tarkus]

You will only get true 5.1 surround when the content you are playing supports it.

Yeah I tried a bunch of 5.1 stuff. I am also failing the MCE 5.1 test. The test tones sound in this sequence. FL, Center, FR, then no sound but a pause for the 2 rear surrounds and then finally the subwoofer.

Hey
I guess it has been posted everywhere, but this thread seemed more active, so I thought that I'd throw a comment.
Word is, that no one has yet found the ALC889A codec drivers for Realtek, but I just wanted to check in here, if anyone should've figured it out.
Thanks.

Hi all! I'm new to the forum, only recently got Windows 7 and am still having problem with the sound...I followed the steps in the first post in this thread but to no avail. My sound card is a Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (is that right? I'm rubbish with computers) and nothing's happening. Any help or advice would really be appreciated.

Thanks for reading

Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7137 installs well on a Presario SR1820NX with Realtek audio. Everything works except the sound.

Device manager showed it to be working fine with 6.0.7137 but it doesn't.

I installed the latest from this thread and it made the sound work but now I have hard crashes during startup and shutdown, sometimes with BSOD.

I rolled back the drivers to fix the problem but now I still have no sound.

The HP/Compaq website recommends 6.0.1.5322 for Vista Ultimate 32-bit on this board so I tried that, but it says I don't meet the requirements.

Any ideas?

just wanted to say thanks for this, finally got 5.1 working again with this driver

Just downloaded R2.26 from the Realtek site #1. Notice the download duration. Is this a speed record for Realtek? It's certainly the quickest I've known for a driver download from them.

Fixed my problem by rolling back, reinstalling from a different mirror. I used the Express mirror the first time.

6.0.1.5864 is this the correct version for the latest driver? Because after i install it the sound still dosent work and the driver is not installed properly it seems....

Hello Hypnotise07,

You may need to install the driver one more time. The first time uninstalls the old version, then the second time actually installs the new driver.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hey guys... I just installed Windows 7 on my Vaio (VGN-FW270J), only thing that's not working are the drivers. I installed from Vista_Win7_R226.exe, and I hear a faint crackle when any audio is supposed to be playing, but no sound. Thanks...!

The only problems i am having with the 64 bit version of this driver, is that it has low mic volume and not picking up correctly. It works in 32bit Vista. Alot of people are having this issue. Maybe, they can fix it before RTM comes out. One could only hope...

 

[Brink]

Hello Trev,

Double check the settings below in the Realtek HD Audio Manager to see if they are set like this. You may need to increase it a bit more to boost the audio level for the microphone.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks Brink, but i turned all that stuff to the highest possible, and i still get low mic. Unlike previous vista versions. Thanks for trying to help tho.

 

[Brink]

You might see if a older driver version may work better instead.

New Realtek HD Audio driver 2.27 released. See first post for more details.

Thanks Shawn. It must not be ready again. Getting that "550" failed to change directory error again.

 

[Brink]

Yeah, I have been getting that as well for the last two days also. I hope they get things fixed soon.

Seriously why do they update the website before the files are on ftp.

 

[Airbot]

it's weird. They did that last time too.
