    how to get back high definition audio


    After the December 2019 Windows 10 update I can't play .flac files. I can see Realtek High Definition audio in PROGRAMS AND FEATURES, but not in Device Manager. Rollback driver option is greyed out for Sound drivers so I can't rollback to before the Win10 update when Realtek High Definition audio used to be under SOUND and also under AUDIO INPUT OUTPUTS.

    My entire music library of +5000 files is .flac and I can't play any of it. (YouTube audio is OK). Can anyone help, please?

    :)

    how to get back high definition audio

    High Definition Audio Device drivers missing

    Hi Davide

    The High Definition Audio drivers are built into Windows already

    Right click that device in Device Manager, choose 'Update Driver

    Then choose 'Browse my computer for Driver Software' - 'Let me pick from a list of available drivers'

    If you do not see the default High Definition Audio device, untick 'Show Compatible Hardware'

    On the left, select Microsoft, then on the right scroll down to find 'High Definition Audio Device Version 10.0. . . . .
