  1. Why does audio sound so much worse after updating to the Realtek (R) drivers from Realtek...


    I was running with the normal Realtek HDA drivers for awhile on my PC and now that I updated the drivers today everything sounds empty and dull. On the old drivers I had a full and rich sound with everything that would play but now it's just lifeless. I tried rolling back the drivers but every time I restart Windows just automatically reinstalls the Realtek (R) driver.

    I'm running on an ASUS mobo with supremefx so sonic studio 3 is getting installed alongside the new driver every time too. Is there something wrong with this driver or am I just doing something wrong?

    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.
