  1. Wont let me have audio in 2 windows at once or mutes the audio from other window


    I am unable to have audio in 2 windows at once but only in certain applications, so I can have 2 youtube tabs open at once playing music but if I pause one the other tab goes mute but still plays the video and un-mutes when I go back into the tab. When I'm playing a game and on discord at the same time the game mutes and I can only hear discord, but if I am in discord and chrome discord gets muted. I anyone able to help me fix this problem.

  2. Windows Wont Let Me Update Driver

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks so much for the quick reply. Yes, I am using a free version of driver easy. Your instructions helped.

    Previously, I was just providing the location and clicking next here:

    As you suggested, I clicked on "let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" and "Have disk" and that helped.

    I did get a nice warning but I ignored it and clicked next.

    Audio seems okay, except "Realtek Audio Console" app doesn't work on my windows 10 anymore. I will probably uninstall this driver. But thanks heaps for your help.

    Cheers

    The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

    Everyone that post ids, need just do these steps and you will be good. I kinda tired of keep on uploading the inf. file

    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
    additional if you want dts audio and others, install it now before next step.
    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.
