Windows 10: windows 10 realtek disapears.

like many others i have no sound after windows upgrade 1909. I have tried all of the fixes including doing all of the drivers. I have gone thru the entire device manager route,The problem is Realtek is completely gone from my PC. I vant go to the drop down menu and do anything with Realtek because it isnt on my PC anymore. The PC says all of my drivers are current and working properly. Im very frustrated. I have tried virtually every fix that all of the problem solving sites have offered, bottom line is nothing has worked. I even Did a system restore and downloaded windows 10 overagai, trying to go to an earlier time when it worked. I think when i did the upgrade, Realtek was dumped with the other files thtr got dumped during the upgrade. Please HELP, ive tried going stright to realtek to see if i could download realtek from them,and all there was , is a driver download which i did and it didnt work. I need the Realtek manager. The real tek was on there and now its just gone.

For those who just need to enable Dolby Digital Live 5.1 for your realtek sound card here is complete manual. Works for me in Win 10 Creators update (1703). Easy installation if you do not need these Dolby things just allow DDL 5.1

Here is the post #27

You also need to enable Test mode before installation of the driver.

Enable Test mode:

Step 1. Open the Windows command promt as "Run as Administrator".

Step 2. Run "bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" (without the "").

Step 3. To finalize the process run "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON" (without the "").

Step 4. Reboot and you're done.

To disable it do step 1 and run these commands on step 2 and 3:

Step 2. "bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" (without the "")

Step 3. "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF" (without the "")

Then do step 4 and you're done.

Then you can continue to installation of the driver.

I hope I helped you, if any questions, ask here I'll try to answer you if I'll be able.
