[SOLVED]Realtek Audio Driver

(1/3) > >>

Xas1953NC:
Hello All, I bought a new desktop early part of last year which came with W10 installed. It only has three sound connections, these being pink for mic, green for speakers and a blue one. I have a Cambridge DTT 2020 sound system with 5.1 speaker units. There are three sound input leads on the sub woofer  unit, one for Speakers front, one for speakers rear and one for the sub woofer. The computer came with a Realtek audio driver which would have allowed me to reconfigure the rear mic socket and the rear blue sockets for the rear speakers and the sub woofer unit. I think it was the install of the W10 anniversary update that caused the driver to be replaced with the Microsoft HD audio driver and this will not allow me to reconfigure the two audio connections. Is it possible to replace the MS HD audio driver with the Realtek audio driver on the MSI disc that came with the computer. Thanks.

Samson:
Open the Realtek UI,  and in the speaker tab, you have to check "Speaker fill" to enable the rear speakers.

NB In windows 10 this will be "Full-range Speakers"

Hello Samson, I do not have that function on the computer. I am assuming it is part of the Realtek driver functions but that driver was replaced by the Microsoft HD Audio driver automatically by the W10 anniversary update.

Boggin:
Open Device Manager/View/Show hidden devices and expand Sound, video and game controllers.

If your Realtek adapter is still listed, right click on it and select Update Driver Software > Browse my computer > Let me pick....

In the ensuing window should list both the MS and the Realtek drivers.

Click on the Realtek one then on Next where it will install and then see if you can do what you want to do.

Xas1953NC:
This all it shows, Samson. I also ran Speccy and that did not show anything to do with Realtek.
