Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

[Dwarf]

Thanks.

I wonder if they've replaced their hamster yet. :sarc:

The download speed is currently into 3 figures...

...1 before the decimal point, and 2 after it....



It's just timed out. :mad2:

I think they use a turtle powered snail stuck in molasses instead of a hamster.

If you don't mind waiting a day or so you can get it from here as well,

download from Guru3D.com

Even waiting a day or so, it would probably still be faster than trying to get it directly from Realtek.

I agree. However, why should we have to put up with this? When a new graphics driver is released by NVidia, I can download it on the same day within 5 minutes of requesting it (and the download is usually twice as big).

You might want to read this thread. I don't think this is a driver problem. Updating the realtek drivers is not going to fix the problem.

Downloaded the zipped version from site #2 in 1hr 15mins. However, when I went to extract it, I got this:





I am NOT amused. :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

I have complained on a previous occasion to Realtek about the poor performance of their download servers, but they haven't replied. :sarc:

Get it from here if you like. I uploaded it from mine.
2.43

Thanks, Aaron.

why did they switch back to the low quality icon?

I am pleased to advise that the crackling issue has been resolved for my Asus Pro61SL notebook. Asus released a BIOS update which resolved all issues. I downloaded Realtek 2.43 and am experiencing no crackling whatsoever.
I hope the guys who are still experiencing this issue get it solved quickly.
Thanks to all for contributing.

Still no 5.1 sound with the new drivers . Changed the jack output from the regedit to have sound without speaker fill. Wait for the next driver then.

ever since early january i do not have realtek as my drivers for my sound card i just have windows high def. drivers

i have tried all the updates as of today and stiil nothing shows
i have d/l the drivers both zip and exe,when i tried zip i can get all the files but when i do exe i have no idea where the files go.

what should i do or could somebody lay out the location for each file and where it should be

or does someone have a better idea

 

[njnitehawk]

after i left the last post

i took it a little further

the zip file i made it audio folder

went into system then device manager

under sound,videoand game controllers

click on that and high def audio came up and click on that
then i click on drivers then update drivers then i clicked let me located the drivers and sub folders

and now i have 6.0.1.6050, sound manager

everything

i just hope the next build i do not have to repeat this

Steve, that is definitely the Microsoft driver, when I installed the realtek driver I disabled the MS HD driver... I just looked at it, it's the same version in your Pic.
The Realtek driver lists Realtek as the provider.

Thx man.

It seems no matter what I try, un-install, disable etc. I can not get the Realtek driver to install, what in the hell am I doing wrong. It always comes back with the Microsoft driver installed help please.

Because it's not a Realtek device. ??

From your specs... this is what you have.

VIA Vinyl VT1708 - 8-channel HD Audio Codec - VIA Technologies, Inc.

Ok I have done some searching around and this is what is on my motherboard

- 5.1 CH Windows® Vista™ Premium Level HD Audio (Realtek ALC662 / VIA® VT1708S / VT1705 Audio Codec)

Any ideas ???

I'm pretty sure you need to install the VIA audio drivers, they may use a Realtek codec but it looks like it's a hybrid audio device.
