[direct cab download link to 8924 FF01 HDA 64bit - 149.4Mb]
[direct cab download link to 8924 FF01 HDA 32bit - 88.8Mb]

now users with Realtek HD audio can choose to either download a generic 8924 FF00 or FF01 version as MS has both FF00 & FF01 versions available from MUC

FF01 version mostly benefits most Lenovo & some HP brand computers
FF01 > Fortemedia integration or FMAPO

this just came out sometime yesterday May 29 from HP

v6.0.8934.1 FF04 HDA "generic" 32bit & 64bit from Hewlett-Packard (sp103850) [release notes]
WHQL for x86 & x64 Windows from Vista, Win7 to Win10
-for HP Z230/Z240, Z2 Mini G3 Workstation PCs (but can work on non-HP systems with Realtek HD audio)


{note that this is a generic FF04 version not an FF00 version}

[IntcAzAudModelAddReg]
HKR,Settings,EffectComponents,0x00010001,0xFF04

Also, the generic 8934 hdart.inf, hdxrt.inf & hdxsst.inf files have added these new hardware device IDs:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0897
 INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0897

FF04 = Conexant (CXAPO) integration

 

[flavallee]

I installed version 6.0.8934.1 in all of my Dell OptiPlex 9020 minitowers which have Realtek ALC3220 HD Audio.
The sound from the integrated monitor speakers still works fine in Windows 7 and Windows 10.

a generic 6.0.8934.1 FF01 HDA x64 driver is now available from MS Update Catalog on 6/3/2020 - it's a 149.4mb cab size download
WHQL for 64bit Windows from Win7 to Win10


note: this is an FF01 version and not an FF04 version

[IntcAzAudModelAddReg]

I will install this 8934 FF01 version on most of my other PCs that have older HDA versions although my HP computer is already using the 8934 FF04 version

hey erpster4 hope you doing well...

is there any update in FF06 variant?....using Dell Inspiron 3521 // Windows 7 Ultimate x64

no sorry v1j4y, latest FF06 HDA version for Win7 is still 6.0.8821.1 but for Win10 users it's 6.0.8918.1 from Fujitsu, however 8918 HDA is a Win10 only driver as it is digitally signed (aka WHQL'ed) for only Win10 and un-signed for any pre-Win10 version.


what is the hardware ID of the Realtek Audio device on the Inspiron 3521?
use this site below on how to find hardware ID of a device in Device Manager

just in - for all others v6.0.8967.1 FF03 HDA "generic" from Nahimic support (posted 6/18/2020)
for those using older ASUS ROG gaming laptops/motherboards & older MSI gaming boards/laptops w/ either Sonic Studio or Nahimic 2.x apps, this new FF03 version should satisfy them (and is also a security bug fix)


edit - I'm gonna try out the 8967 FF03 HDA driver on my computers that normally use either FF00, FF01 or FF04 HDA drivers.

here's my hardware id

The 6.0.8967.1 HDA drivers seem to work fine in my Dell OptiPlex 9020 minitowers which have Realtek ALC3220 HD Audio and are running Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit and Windows 10 Pro Version 2004 64-bit in dual boot mode.

that's great, flavallee.
I've updated the Realtek HDA drivers on my bro's Sony Vaio Win7 x64 Home laptop to 8967 FF03 several days ago and they worked fine.

here's my hardware id

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0282&SUBSYS_10280597&REV_1000

ok this HWID is listed in the HDXSGMA4.inf file of the Realtek HDA driver, v1j4y.


the only new FF06 HDA driver is 8918 from FMWorld.net but is WHQL certified for Win10 x64 only and un-signed for anything below Win10.
you could take a chance and install it but will require clicking on the "Install this driver software anyway" option (when the "windows cannot verify the publisher of this driver software" prompt appears) to fully install it [do NOT use Device Manager to install the 8918 HDA driver on Win7 x64 as it may reject it and say that the best driver is already installed - use the setup.exe program from the 8918 HDA driver pack to install it]. the HDXSGMA4.inf file is not included in the 8918 HDA driver but does include the generic HDXRT.inf file - 8918 HDA is supposed to be Fujitsu based but the HDXRT.inf file was included to install on much older Fujitsu systems with HWIDs not mentioned in the HDXFJ.inf, HDXFJMA.inf & HDXFTS.inf files.

Thank you erpster4 for your valuable inputs.

EDIT: Installation went smooth and it is working flawlessly on Windows 7 x64... Once again thanks...

you're welcome, v1j4y.


at this point you may as well use whatever new FF06 driver is available (even though it may not be WHQL certified for Win7) since FF06 HDA drivers are almost becoming a rare commodity nowadays unlike in years past


edit - plus 8918 HDA is a security bug fixed version that resolves this security vulnerability that Realtek patched up either by end of 2019 or the start of 2020
