  1. I uninstalled Realtek a while back and my audio has never worked since


    When I first got this pc I was annoyed at the audio settings that didn't fit for me, so I deleted Realtek. What I didn't know was that it was needed on my computer.Whenever I tried to reinstall it; it'd put me through the process even make me restart my computer and never install. I've redone the process almost 30 times and everytime i go to my device manager, the driver is never in there. Is there any way I can fix this?

    :)

    The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

    I had the realtek error when using the installer, so I did these step and It Worked

    1.Go Open up device manager
    2. Go under sound,video, and game controllers
    3. Find Realtek High Definition Audio
    4. Right click and hit update driver
    5. Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    7. Click Have Disk and hit browse
    8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
    9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
    10. Click Next and Yes
    After it is done, restart the PC

    You should be good then and also make sure before doing these steps that you have driver enforcement disabled.

    I need a new audio driver that works with Windows 10 that is not Realtek.

    My computer just underwent the recent Windows update and with it the updated Realtek audio driver. I don't know if I had been using a Realtek driver before that point, I never had a reason to pay attention to it. My audio input through any mic I connect
    since the update is horrible and I need a new driver that is not Realtek, as I have updated it again, un and reinstalled it and followed all the steps listed in other similar questions such as:

    "I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    I suggest you to run the Audio troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    If the issue persists, then try to uninstall and re-install the audio driver.

    1. Press Windows Logo Key+X. Click on Device Manager.
    2. In the list of hardware categories, look for the device that you want to update, and then right-click on it to Uninstall.
    3. Follow onscreen instructions to uninstall it.
    4. To re-install, either you can restart the system or install the driver from the manufacturer’s website (recommended as they will have updated drivers).
    For reference:

    Try all the steps provided in the link below and check if it helps.

    This has not worked for me; I need an option that is either a guaranteed fix which I don't think is available, or a new compatible driver.
