[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx)

Hello,
Since two days the effects of Sonic studio aren't working anymore. Until now I couldn't get them back. I already deinstalled and reinstalled the drivers and Sonic studio 3 - no success. Hope someone can help me with this. I am using Windows 11 - my Mainboard is X470-F Gaming.
My last choice wood be a new installation of Windows. But without knowing how to solve that problem it seem to be likely to run into this issue again.

Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the audio enhancements on the audio device, i know it sounds silly and that reinstalling would have fixed it, but that caught me out two driver releases ago. Do it in the realtek audio console, sound settings in the settings app and in the "more sound settings" options in the sound settings sections of settings app (they all do the same thing i just can't recall which one i specifically used).

I hope it helps

That does seem strange that it would of been removed.

I suggest you follow the cleanup instructions and do a clean install.

Unfortunately it seems to have been removed, already tried the full clean-up and it's simply there on older drivers but not on the newer ones. It's a very niche feature so I'm not surprised, I just hope that it was done for an important reason and not just a careless shrug.

No complaints to Mokichu though, just for clarity. I get that Realtek makes these drivers and to be honest I have no idea where I'd even begin to leave a comment on a thing like this.

I'll eventually get an external audio interface that will render this obsolete, but it's a surprisingly killer feature to have directly on the motherboard for anyone getting into podcasting, streaming, etc. The older drivers work fine though and with something like audio it's not like a GPU driver where you can't necessarily just go without updates.

All in all, I wanted to make sure it was known and that I wasn't having a weird error on my end and to not just shrug and assume it gone only to find out that there was an easy fix had I only asked, you know?

Cheers though, appreciate it

Activating sound enhancement worked. Thank you very much

I got the ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING a couple of days ago and it's been working great. However, when I install the Realtek Drivers the audio from the front-panel speakers becomes noisy and starts crackling a lot, especially with short sounds such as notifications (Windows, Discord, etc); back-panel speakers seem to work fine. I tried installing the drivers in this thread but it still had the crackling sound, maybe I used the wrong one? Or maybe I missed changing some setting somewhere...

Here are my specs:

- MOBO: ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING
- Front-panel plug type: unified speaker and mic
- Case: Ncase M1 V6.1

The front-speaker seems to work fine when using the default Windows Driver (not Realtek).

By any chance are there updated realtek drivers for the x570 boards (C8 Dark Hero in particular)?

Hello skrybe,
See this reply from MoKiChU https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthrea...116#post854047

Thanks Jimbo93, and thanks MoKiChU. Must have missed seeing that. I'll give it a whirl.

Well I followed cleanup (uninstall) process and did the install, and the headphones work fine but nothing I do gets my Mic working. I did another cleanup and reinstalled the last set of drivers I know were good (8960.1) and same problem can hear, but Mic flat out doesn't work. Checked Mic's physical mute button, the realtek and windows mic settings, the windows privacy settings, tried in both front and rear connectors, even tried uninstalling the Sonic Studio apps and it just flat out won't work. And I know the Mic is good.

I assume there has to be some component from the newest drivers still lurking on the PC that's causing the problem. But I can't find it

edit: I did another full clean using the routine outlined in MoKiChU's post and reinstalled again and it's now working. I guess I missed something the last time somehow. But it's working so far.

Hi guys, I have an Asus H510M-E of the 10th and 11th generation intel, which audio driver should I install? I'm lost. I am currently using version 9254.1 but would like to install the latest 9300.1.
