How to reinstall Realtec HD Audio card?

Windows 10 problem:

Not sure why it has disabled my Realtec HD Audio Manager in January - but I still had generic system sounds.

Have downloaded and installed the new driver v 6.0.1.8198 Feb 2018.

In about 2 weeks all my Windows sounds disappeared - NO YouTube Video sound, No Music files sound, No sound in PPS, and no System sounds.

I was not able to find a cause - all hardware worked fine, Realtec HD Audio Manager displayed correctly, has perfect sound on rear output speakers and front earphones - Right and Left perfectly. Same for SKYPE - good sound.

And yes, my computer was turned on and all sound volumes were 100% with all Audio Player progress bars advancing - silently.

It was recommended as a fix that I uninstall the Realtec audio driver from Device manager .

Here comes the BIG Windows problem:

After rebooting the computer - yes I do have sound that Microsoft highjacked to generic onboard Audio chips.

The Realtec HD Audio device is no longer listed in Device manager, and can not be re-discovered by hardware search even though is still plugged in as always in the MOBO.

I see that there is a major and wide spread confusion between Drivers and Devices.

I have no access to my Realtec HD Audio device(hardware card) to reinstall the Driver that was working all peachy until deleted.

Any search on the web becomes useless as it always directs to Device manager and Realtec HD Audio that is supposed to be in there to update/reinstall the Driver (software).

Again - is there anyone who can help me to reinstall the not-missing missing hardware?

Many thanks in advance

Realtec Audio/Sound Issues

Anyone having issues with the latest Realtec audio driver? Just got a laptop - Windows 10-64 bit came installed. Trying everything, but still has a crackly and underwater sound on iTunes and youtube vids.... Tried to uninstall/reinstall, and rollback...
but the reinstall had no change. The rollback won't go back to a previous driver, it just shutsdown Realtec and goes to the default HD audio device. With that, my vids sound fine now...but iTunes won't play. Just wondering if a bug with the latest driver
or something else I can try. Also - I checked sound with headphone in case it was the laptop's speakers....same issue.

 

How to reinstall Realtec HD Audio card?

Hi Andre,

thanks for your help.

Have downloaded the zip, unzipped and run installation.

Did not work - an error 5009: 0x8002802b occurred while running setup.

Looked it up and there is no Installation shield in c:/Program Files/common Files/ where the installation is looking for it. Well this is a Installation for Windows 7-8.

Suggested fix of reinstalling Windows is these days not doable for me, as I never got any disks with new computer.

Took the computer apart and found that the High Definition device is actually on the MOBO.

It is not on the separate card - was going to pull the card out and again reinsert it after cycling reboot and shut down. Computer would then rediscover 'new" hardware.

Tried to reinstall the Realtec HD Audio Manager again to this High Definition Audio Device without success.

So unfortunately nothing worked so far.

My best regards

Tony
