Windows 10: Deleted a Realtk or Realtek speaker...

I accidently deleted my speaker, and now the speakers preinstalled in my laptop are not working, what should i do?

:)

 

Realtek audio manager detect my rear speakers as side speaker.

Realtek can be goofy at times, okay okay, a lot of the time. You have to manually configure your speaker set up (should be a drop down list) despite setting it to auto detect feature that works 3 days a week and never on the weekends. Realtek doesnt like to save settings on reboot, so I'm sure some regedit wizardry is needed here too.

 

Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [2]

I just built a new rig with a ASRock X470 Taichi motherboard and Win 10 64bit 1903. I downloaded the driver from my motherboard's site (Realtek high definition audio driver ver:8668_UAD_WHQL_DTS) and then ran the powershell script to detect the driver type.

Since I couldn't get more than 1 output, I also tried the latest driver in the 1st post (HDA DRIVER VERSION: 6.0.8716.1).

No matter what is plugged in, I only have 1 playback/output device.

• I plug my speakers into rear panel = audio plays out the speakers and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)
• I plug my headphones into front panel = audio plays out my headphones and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)
• I plug my headphones into front panel and speakers into rear panel = audio plays out of front panel and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)

I used to be able to switch between front and rear when both were plugged in. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Problems with Realtek drivers and New build

@MoKiChU So i went through all the steps in your link. I got to the end where i'm supposed to install the realtek audio control, and i keep getting an error code when i try to download it. Error code 0x803FB005. Not sure if i could change this in the realtek audio control app, but my headphones and speakers are still having the same issue. The only things listed in playback devices are Speakers (Realtek high definition audio) & Digital Audio (HDMI) (High definition Audio device). Even with my speakers and headphones plugged in.

Also, i checked in device manager. Under Sound, video, and game controllers > Realtek High definition audio is using 6.0.8947.1. There's also a High definition audio device listed using driver 10.0.18362.356. I'm not sure if this gets automatically installed on restart or if it should be there or not.

In device manager again under Audio inputs and outputs > Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) These have a driver version of 10.0.18362.1
