  1. Realtek High Definition Audio driver causing stereo sound to leak through microphone


    Hello all,


    My Realtek High Definition Audio driver is causing my stereo sound to leak through the microphone of my headset when using Discord.


    A quick hack I came up with to fix this temporarily:

    - Exit any Discord voice channel.

    - Close Discord and close all other open program windows.

    - Go to the Device Manager.

    - Under "Sound, video and game controller", right click Realtek High Definition Audio.

    - Select Disable Device, then wait for a few seconds.

    - Enter a Discord voice channel.

    - Right click Realtek High Definition Audio to now select Enable Device, then wait for a few seconds.



    After following that procedure, usually the leaking of sound through my microphone stops until I restart my PC.

    As you can see from the images, when Realtek High Definition Audio is enabled, "Nahimic mirroring device" always disabled by default appears in the list as well, even though I have never seen it in the Device Manager before.


    Things I have tried:

    - Search Google for solutions for people with similar problems have not been able to find anything that works for me

    - Update the driver

    - Reinstall the driver I have not yet been able to fix the issue.


    I suspect it has something to do with the loading order of my drivers, but I have no idea what to do about it or where I can find a solution to this problem. I would love to get some assistance.


    Thanks in advance for any help,


    BravoDeltaBD

    :)

    NOT WORKING-Realtek audio drivers and Microsoft High Definition device

    I've seen some videos which just tell you to update Realtek HD driver to the Microsoft driver. Sometimes it works for a while then it stops working. I just go into Device Manager>Sound, video and game controllers> Realtek High Definition audio (right click)>
    Update driver software> Browse from my computer> Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer> High Definition audio device. It should update.
