Windows 10: Realtek HD Audio manager will not open?

I've tried opening it in Crogram files. I also tried pinning it to task bar and then trying to open but that didn't work either. I uninstalled the Realtek driver through device manager and then reinstalled the drivers on HP. I also downloaded Realtek HD audio manager from Realtek's site but still no luck. When i search for realtek hd audio manager on my laptop the only result is DTS audio control. When i click on sound and then microphone properties the realtek enhancements tab is blank. The only thing you see is "disable all enhancements".

External microphone really quiet (Realtek HD Audio-Manager)

Hello,

I have a problem with the Realtek HD Audio-Manager. I bought a new headset a few days ago. It is working fine on the Playstation, tablet and on my mobile phone. However on my Notebook it is very quiet.

I plugged it in but the I think the Realtek HD Audio-Manager puts the internal microphone and my external microphone into one microphone array (well, that's what at least is showing in the system settings).

So even though I set every audio setting to maximum, the microphone is still very quiet. I also updated the drivers and reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio-Manager.

Once when I deinstalled the Realtek HD Audio-Manager and I tried the troubleshooting it somehow worked fine for a few seconds. But then it reinstalled Realtek HD-Audio-Manager automatically and the microphone was quiet once again.

 

have to reboot with the jack in for my PLANTRONICS AUDIO 355 HEADSET to work on windows 10

Thanks for the prompt response. Its the right solution but for the wrong operating system. I followed the instruction however there is no Realtek HD Audio Manager in my Windows 10 Dell computer. i have realtek audio as the play back device
and microphone but no Realtek HD Audio Manager. Is there another option - i couldn't see an obvious one.
