Latest Realtek Sound Driver

(1/5) > >>

Hi,

I am trying to install the latest Realtek sound driver for my motherboard but it will not install as before. Instead it goes around in a loop. The install shield keeps asking do I want to reboot my PC now or later.

I have  uninstalled the previous driver and thought it would be a straight forward install, any ideas folks?

Windows 10 Home
Version 21H1

Update: Realtek HD is showing in Device Manager but the icon does not show in Program & Features for some reason. Nevertheless I now have sound.
Thanks

Have you tried to reboot because it might be like Ati drivers. When windows loads the drivers for most everything. Ati drivers will always ask to reboot before installing the new driver.

I don't worry about drivers on a computer. Since windows 10 does everything for you. Plus if everything is working leave well enough alone. The only driver I will install is the graphics driver. That is most likely when I first installed windows too.

My video driver is 3/2021, sound driver 9/2020, & Network driver 9/2019.

So if you got your sound working that is good. I as always say "If it isn't broke don't fix it" LOL

Hi,
Yes, I have tried to reboot as per instructions on the install shield. It then takes me back to the install shield and then the same options appear for a reboot now or later on.

The driver is for both Windows 10 and 11. Yes it's working but no icon appears in Program & Features.

Thanks for the reply.

For the hell of it I installed the realtek sound driver 9/2019. I had a Microsoft driver and it was really newer 9/2020. It installed with no problem and it does have a icon in the Programs & Features.

I have the Ga-x299x-aorus-master board. I'll have to check my GA-Z490 Vision G and what that has for a driver.

dmdilks:
OK Just check Ga-z490 Vision G and the driver is realtek. But it is a older driver 1/2020. Now the thing is I'm still for some reason running version 2004 on windows 10. LOL

What version windows you running? I tried to install the newest driver and it is telling me to uninstall the old driver and reboot.
