    Realtek HD audio cab not installing


    Downloaded the cab file from the link in the sticky for 64 bit, downloaded reg file to put install on context menu. Right clicked cab file and clicked install, DISM came back with error 2 file not found. Path too long?

    Downloaded from realtek.tw and seemed to install ok with lots of reboots.

    :)

    How to stop Realtek Audio drivers from installing on Windows 10?

    Most likely Realtek audio is designated audio per mfg.'s motherboard.

    Are you uninstalling Realtek driver from device manager & choosing to remove audio software too?

    After uninstalling it & reboot, does it re-appear?

    If yes, you should use troubleshooting cab file that Microsoft makes available to hide updates. I use this cab file everyday to find out what updates are on my laptop but have not been installed yet.

    Here is Microsoft website to get that cab file from:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...driver-update-from-reinstalling-in-windows-10

    If you still need to uninstall Realtek audio I would use cab file first and see if there is Realtek update available for install. Use cab file's hide feature to keep it from installing.

    Now when you remove Mfg. audio driver-Realtek, it will be replaced with Microsoft's High Definition Audio Device driver.

    Are you trying to install another audio driver that is not Realtek?

    How can I download Realtek HD Audio Manager

    Try downloading the .cab file from MS which should have the realtek audio manager.

    Microsoft Update Catalog

    How to install a .cab file.

    I lost the audio manager when installing from the Realtek website, the .cab file brought it back for me.

    Realtek HD audio cab not installing

    I use the version from Realtek. Haven't had any issues.

    How I've seen it work, if you have Realtek installed, it will uninstall that. Have you restart the PC. Install Realtek and finally have you restart again.

    I've tried the cab file versions posted and never got them to install.
