Windows 10: Audio Enhancements Tab Missing

Hello, I am brand new to these forums and have been wondering why my Audio Enhancements Tab is missing now that i am using Windows 10. I used to have Windows 7 and it worked fine. I have no clue what sound card i have and it doesn't show up in device manager either, i believe it is whatever is onboard for My motherboard. I Would Appreciate it if someone could point me in the correct direction. Thanks!

Audio-driver memory & cpu leak (audiodg.exe), Windows 10, REAL fix available???????

To get the enhancement-tabs back, try the following:

Uninstall all audio-drivers. The restart your PC.....drivers will probably automatically reinstall. Check for the enhancement-tabs.......if not there, try updating your audio drivers then recheck for the enhancement-tabs.

 

Realtek Audio Enhancement Tab Suddenly Missing

Press “Windows key + X”

Select “Device manager” from the list.

Now go to the “Sound, video and game controllers” section.

Here, you should search for “Realtek High Definition Audio” under the list of audio device drivers. Right click and select “Disable”.

Right click again and this time click on “Update driver software”

Opt for “Browse my computer for driver software”

Now go for “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”

A window asking you to select the driver that you want to install for the device should now appear.

You might see a list of available drivers. Click on “High definition audio device” and then hit “Next”

When asked, select “Yes” and a confirmation window should appear indicating that the process has completed.

When asked to reboot, say yes.

 

Hi, Control Panel, Device Manager and you'll see sthg like this:




Mine's Realtek.

Or rt click the sound icon in your system tray, click Playback Devices. Again I can see Realtek. You may have something else.

Or you can use this freeware program e.g.




If yours is, the way I solved that was to download the driver from Realtek's site.
Realtek

 

According to the ASUS site, this has VIA HD Audio, however there is no Win 10 drivers listed. There are no Win 8.1 drivers listed either.
There are Win 7 drivers listed however, in most cases they are not compatible. Usually you need Win 8.1 drivers to be Win 10 compatible.

I suspect Windows installed the generic, basic function, High Definition Driver. If that is the case, you will not have the Audio Enhancements and probably the best you can do with this older motherboard and Win 10 audio.

 

Well isn't there a way to force Audio Enhancements to enable on my PC? Usually there are workarounds and or Fixes For these types of things. If not, then Thanks for the help.. But i can in no way afford a new motherboard. I hope you guys have a good experience.

 

I don't use any enhancements on my PC, which has Realtek. But if you must have something, look at possibly some free add that will give you what you want. I haven't done any searches but there are probably some things available such as an EQ. Some media program may also have some options.

 

It's quite possible the following approach may not help or create problems. You have been warned.

And see this: beware.

Following the idea of downloading from the manufacturer's site, you can experiment- if you wish to take the risk- thus:

VIA Drivers and Support Packages Download

You might be lucky. But note that they say
we strongly recommend you obtain the system-validated and certified audio drivers directly from your system manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer

You'd also have to check the chip supported by the driver is what you have.
If you want to take the risk, make sure you back up before trying it. Hopefully you use Macrium Reflect or similar to routinely create disk images.

 

Il Just Use an EQ program *Smile Thanks
