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.

 

EXTERNAL SPEAKERS REALTEC NECESSARY?

Dave

Thanks for the reply. I think understand this a little better now. Its a driver to connect the soundbar to the system. When I open up the sound section there are 4 things listed:

- Intel (R) Display Audio

- Realtec Audio

- SAKOBS Hands Free AG Audio

- SAKOBS Stereo

I can go in there and disable, see properties, drivers etc.

In my settings I even saw "headphones' which I have not connected at all and I disabled that section. I did see a place to "boost bass" and the sounds is quite good for a mini bar.

So am I correct to assume that the computer needs all 4 of the above?

By the way it is labeled as "blue tooth enumerator" since I connected with USB to the computer tower and micro to soundbar.

The only thing I don't hear are the normal sounds that windows made when opening or closing a program or any default. I tried to customize those sounds but it makes too many, so I left it in "windows default" mode since I becomes quite annoying.

Any suggestions, please let me know and thanks again for the reply

Happy Holidays!
