Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

[RoasterMen]

Realtek servers are real pain in the a**. I didn't bother updating the driver for my ALC662 because the download speed is horribly slow at like 320kbps.

Realtek servers are real pain in the a**. I didn't bother updating the driver for my ALC662 because the download speed is horribly slow at like 320kbps.

320 kbps, slow? (like are u friggin kidding me, RoasterMen?). that's fine for me when downloading thru a wifi connection but nearly not ok with a wired (network cable connection with cable/DSL). There's always download sites like Filehippo or Softpedia to obtain the Realtek HD audio drivers if you don't like getting them from the Realtek FTP servers. I hardly had problems downloading from the Realtek sites.

but thanks NoN for the link to the official Realtek R2.76 [6.0.1.7487] driver package.
though I won't need to update the Realtek audio driver on my computers (whether from the Realtek web site or any well-trusted PC manufacturers site) until Realtek releases version 6.0.1.7500 or higher on either to Microsoft Windows Update or to PC/OEM manufacturers.

Thanks,

To add at your post,

Release Note

Add/Fix:
1.) Driver: 6.0.1.7503
1. Customizations.
2. Support Windows 10

EDIT:
I have tested those last drivers with my 5.1 sound system yesterday, they do works fine and room correction helped quite a lot to enhance the overall sound output. Founded Realtek quite low sounding compare to my PCI-e Soundcard, nearly 40% lower on volume tab but glad they still do some driver...in case!

I downloaded the new R2.78, direct from Realtek 20 minutes ago, but when it installed it was R2.77. Device Manager shows mine as 6.0.1.7503.

I heard some having the same.
It should be ok by now...the time they upload to their server. Did downloaded few hours ago and it was fine.

 

[fireberd]

I was able to get the R2.78 by downloading from the Taiwan site. The first time, I downloaded from the Global site and got the R2.77 instead of R2.78.

Official Realtek HD Audio 6.0.1.7512 WHQL (R278) date: May 21, 2015

Vista, Win7, Win8, Win8.1, Win10 driver for x64 & x86
Driver version: RTKVHD64.sys : 6.0.1.7512
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...=24&level=4&conn=3&downtypeid=3&getdown=false

The RTKVHD64.SYS file is used only under 64bit Windows Vista/7/8/10 systems.
On 32bit Windows OSes the RTKVHDA.SYS file is used instead.

I'll get the R2.78 package tomorrow from either Realtek when their servers aren't busy.
Otherwise I'll get it from either Majorgeeks.com or Softpedia.com.

I can't get it to show in devmgr.

Downloaded from TW site.

 

[erpster4]

PSCO2007, download R2.78 from Majorgeeks, Softpedia or FileHippo if the Realtek TW site doesn't work for you.

BTW, Microsoft did slightly better than Realtek R2.78 (6.0.1.7512). Version 6.0.1.7514 (5/19/2015) available from Microsoft Update Catalog.
(32bit/x86 download) (x64/64bit download)

WHQL for Windows Vista/7/8.x/10.
Extract all the files from the CAB file and use Device Manager & pick the correct INF file to install the Realtek audio driver.

Hey all, need help with something.

I downloaded the 6.0.1.7514 version from MS Update Catalog (link above). Then:
- Opened device manager and r.click update the driver for Realtek High Definition Audio.
- Browsed to the folder and it found the driver
- After installing the driver, it asked for a restart
- I decided I could do it later, and continue using the PC
- Sometime later, for a completely unrelated matter the PC froze and I had to perform a hard reset.
- Now after each log in I get a warning -> Open File - Security Warning - Do you want to run this file? for RAVCpl64.exe.

- Did I fail to install it properly or just a problem from the hard reset?
- Should I just re-install with above method or need to do something else?

Thanks

I feel like an idiot now I had the "always ask when opening" ticked. So simple stuff hehe.

Another question though: do I need this running for transition between headphones (Logitech USB - has own soundcard) and Speakers?
