I tryit but for some reason realtek audio console will not install error on downloading

I'm experiencing an annoying issue when selecting "playback two different audio streams simultaneously" from advanced settings in Realtek Audio Console. Every time i plug/unplug headphones Amplify Level goes automatically back to Extreme, even though I set it to Performance both for Speakers and for Headphones. First time I noticed this it scared the hell out of me because at maximum volume sound coming from my speakers was too loud and distorted. How can I fix this? I followed scrupoulously the cleanup and install processes, both with latest and second to last drivers, but nothing changed. Motherboard is Maximus XII Extreme.

EDIT Ok, this happens even when "playback two different audio streams simultaneously" is NOT selected, but randomly and only when I unplug headphones! This is really irritating, if I revert to ASUS website Drivers for my mobo can I hope the issue will disappear?

EDIT 2: so, it looks like the impedance sensor automatically sets the amplify level according to the device characteristics in terms of impedance, indeed. Isn't there a way to fix what a user wants to be set?

Is this normal or not? Anybody with a z490 ROG board and latest drivers experiencing automatic Amplify level switching to match impedance sensor's readings regardless of what it is manually selected in Realtek Audio Console after plugging/unplugging headphones?

Thank you for your prompt reply. May I ask for a quick clarification?

One of the instructions in your cleanup process is to uninstall "Realtek Audio Control." I do not have a program called exactly that, but I do have one called "Realtek Audio Console." (Please see the included screenshot.) Are they the same? Should I remove the Console as part of the cleanup?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, it is indeed the same thing, the app in the Microsoft Store is called Realtek Audio Control, and once installed on your PC, it is called Realtek Audio Console.
However, to avoid any ambiguity in the future, I edited all the processes of my threads in order to show the two names (Realtek Audio Control > Realtek Audio Control/Console).

hello and many thanks for your work, i have a B350F and no sound on 5.1 only LR speakers on 2.1 whitout subwoofer sound, already installed the UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF but can't install the Realtek Audio Control error 0x803FB005 should install sound studio instead?

Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.

Which one do i need for x570-e

Hi,

Yes this is normal, I have already spoken about this :

Hi,

When you plug (unplug then plug if already plugged) the jack 3.5 mm of a headphone, the automatic impedance detection will automatically choose the appropriate level of amplification for you (depending on the impedance of the headphone), but you can force it to, Powerful or Extreme manually.

On the other hand, when you use jack 3.5mm to connect audio active/powered equipment (like powered speakers), the automatic impedance detection does not distinguish between passive (like a headphone) and active equipment (like powered speakers) and therefore will wrongly try to detect the impedance audio active/powered equipment, and wrongly adjust the amplification level to Extreme while a audio active/powered equipment should not receive amplified audio stream (to avoid reducing the lifespan of your equipment and not to saturate the sound spectrum).

So, in order to avoid reducing the lifespan of your equipment and not to saturate the sound spectrum, I advise all people who use jack 3.5mm to connect audio active/powered equipment (headsets jack 3.5 mm are not concerned because they are passive/not powered equipment) to set this parameter on Performance, whatever the result of the automatic impedance detection.

If you want to avoid this automatic impedance detection, buy an jack 3.5 mm extension (male - female), connect the jack 3.5 mm extension (male side) to your motherboard, and plug/unplug your headphones at the female side of your jack 3.5 mm extension, the automatic impedance detection will not be done.

Hi MokiChU, thanks for the answer.

If I understood correctly what you suggested (but I'm not sure about that) it can certainly be considered a workaround, at least in part. The point is (but maybe I could be wrong) that you can bypass, in a sense, the sensor check on headphones impedance by occupying the jack port with the extension cable prior to connecting them to it, and by doing vice versa when unplugging them (first you unplug the headphones from the extension, and only then you unplug the extension cable itself from the jack port), so that no variation in impedance reading can change the Amplify level you set. But this works (at least for me) only if you hadn't enable before "Make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously", otherwise as soon as the jack port is occupied (even by the extension cable alone) and "Realtek HD Audio 2nd output" appears in the Console the Amplify level is set back to "Extreme" for both devices. Not to mention the fact that in this way you retain the "Performance" Amplify level for the speakers at the cost of having to manually change the parameter if you want a different Amplify level for your headphones (in my case "Extreme").

Another (pseudo-)solution I found is to activate, in Advanced Settings, "Disable front panel popup dialog", deactivate "Enable Jack detection when device is plugged in", and check "Make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously". By doing this every device remains always active (even 2nd output and microphone), so that whatever Amplify level you set stays like that for each device, no matter what you plug/unplug, since jack detection is disabled. But you have to manually switch between playback devices when you want to listen to headphones or speakers respectively, because after plugging/unplugging jack the switch won't be automatic anymore.

Am i missing something? I hope I didn't write anything too silly, and sorry for being a nuisance, but I just want to understand if I did something wrong. If I didn't, what I'm asking is: wouldn't it be possible to make user values simply override sensor readings no matter what?

Thread updated.

I assume this means that your advice, "You need Realtek Audio Drivers (XXX) from the first post of this thread" should now be understood to refer to the drivers you just posted, correct?

Thanks.

on my way to test. so far was being perfect.

Hi,

Absolutely. You can directly follow your UPDATE process.

One more thing, Apps & Features shows I also have "Realtek Card Reader" Installed. I assume that'd OK to leave alone--no need to uninstall?

Thread updated.

Hi MoKiChU, if I got the previous 9013 UAD driver installed, do I need to do a cleanup and install or straight go for update the newest 9018 driver?

[Melchior]

Hi MoKiChU, thx for the Realtek audio driver updates..
yes I can finally post... Huwayy!

[MrAgapiGC]

just a advance.
After 2 solid drivers, the SS3 hahimic start to crash again. going back to 6.0.9013.1 since was the best so far
