Windows 10: Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [archive]

Hey guys, no matter what version of the driver I install, when I click once on the Realtek Manager in tray, I get this:





Is that normal? The Manager opens when I double click the icon instead, my audio also works, just the above error concerns me.

 

Version 6.0.1.7576 (8/4/2015) from Microsoft Update Catalog (32bit) (64bit)
WHQL for Windows from Vista to Ten

 

Thank you Erpster. First post updated. *Smile

 

Right speaker volume still almost non-existent. Another update where I need to go +10db under Room Correction. *Sad

 

is it just me that really has to use internet explorer to access the Microsoft catalog ? chrome or edge don't work, they want me to install explorer 6+ *Smile there is probably a trick i dont know ! *Smile ty trying latest version

EDIT: also i can'T seem to do the proper method to update the drivers.
i DO NOT have the option to "delete driver files" when i right click the driver in device manager/uninstall.

asa i do a hardware change check, they just pop back up.
If i do an uninstall using the realtek installer and reboot, they just pop pack up again.

auto install drivers is turned off in device manager settings.

halpp !
*cry

 

How often do they usually update these drivers? unsure if I want to keep updating manually if they bring out a new one every week.

 

Can someone please provide a direct link to the driver's last version (6.0.1.7576x64)?

I'm not able to access the Microsoft Update Catalog, even using IE.

I hope the update will fix the really boring issue "no audio output device is installed" on my ASUS U36SG laptop.

 

Hello,

I have a question, I have downloaded the .cab file from the catalog, have it extracted, which inf file you choose?(there is a big list of inf there)

I have tried the HDXRT it gives 2 choices(with same name) to pick and the first gave me a warning of not suitable, the second just installed correctly, it does work but I picked the inf file just randomly, do you have any tip/advice/tutorial for that?

Thank you.

 

Don't point it at specific .inf file but only at the folder they are in.

 

cool thank you, its easier then I thought, I just tried and it used a different inf, gonna check it out *Biggrin

 

Thank you for this thread ! I now have my Audio quality back to being wonderful !

 

Two of my officemates and myself are having an issue where Windows 10 is making our internal speaker be the "left" and our external speakers (with a headphone plugged into them) have become the "right" speaker. There are no other audio options on the playback devices list besides "Speakers/Headphones - RealTek High Definition Audio Default Device" (no other devices are disabled or disconnected in the list). I've upgraded my RealTek drivers to the latest (8/4 version) and still have had no change. The only way I've managed to get around it is by setting the level on the left speaker to 0.

I've tried uninstalling RealTek and attempting to reinstall without rebooting, this worked ONCE and I got two separate playback devices (one for internal and one for my plugged in speakers) but as soon as I rebooted it goes back and reinstalls itself and the problem resurfaces.

 

Hello, I have a problem with any Realtek driver since I updated from Windows 8.1 to 10 (x64).
On every boot, I have no sound on the rear speakers : the black pin switches automaticaly from "rear" to "side". I have to reconfigure every time !





Did someone had a similar issue ?

Here's my config if it helps : Asus Sabertooth Mark 2 and Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers.

 

Awesome thread.

By the way, version 6.0.1.7580 is available, last updated 8/10/2015. Interestingly, I am only able to find the 64-bit on there as of now. However, that is no problem for me.

Something that allowed me to install when other methods were failing was to:

• Run devmgmt.msc and disable current Realtek High Definition Audio driver (not 100% sure if necessary)
• Kill the running Realtek HD Audio Manager task (RAVCpl64.exe on my system)
• Extract the updated driver .cab file to a folder of your choice
• Open Device Manager again and Enable and Update the Realtek High Definition Audio driver
  • I had to choose "Browse my computer for driver software"
  • Then, under "Search for driver software in this location", again put the same folder you chose earlier and hit next.
  • Drivers install successfully

I didn't even have to reboot and it's noticeably better than the version I had been running prior (which was R2.79 aka driver 6.0.1.7541).
Also, took me a couple minutes to realize that Windows Edge is not simply an IE upgrade. IE is still on your system, which is why you have to use that to download. Haha *Redface

 

Hey, I have exactly the same thing and I don't know what to do. Although I can hear sounds from the first minute I upgraded and so on I'm still concerned about this because I also get KERNEL-SECURITY-CHECK-FAILURE which as I read is the problem that occurs due to the outdated drivers. Thanks for help.
