Thanks for the update. New driver installed nicely.

 

You're welcome.

Do you hear any difference or see any difference in the Realtek Audio Manager?

Seems like Realtek is releasing new drivers almost every week now. It was about
every two weeks earlier. It's hard to keep up with all these driver updates from
these vendors.

 

Ok.

How do you install the darn things so that you don't get the "Elevation" / "Blocked program" prompt when
logging on as a standard user?

I've tried every way possible with no success.

 

1. Right click on the downloaded file before installing and press the Unblock
button and the Apply button.

2. Even installing when logged on as an administrator, a UAC approval prompt is
required. (Note the shield on the icon.) I believe this is required for all
device driver installs.

 

Did that.
Still got the blocked program prompt when logging on as a standard user.

I'll uninstall and try again.

 

Try right clicking and set to always run as administrator.

 

Hey Cal Bear,
I downloaded the new driver from the link above, and installed it. When
it was done installing the machine rebooted and I received a notice that
it was ready to use, but it wasn't there. The realtek audio manager was
gone, and a check of the driver showed that windows had installed a
generic driver. I didn't even have the option to roll back because the
install file first uninstalls the original driver. A system restore made
me all warm and fuzzy again, but what do you suppose happened there?

Vista Home premium, 32 bit...

The first time you run the installer, if removers the Realtek driver, and
restarts your computer. In the meantime Windows will try to install it's
generic driver; just let Windows do it's thing (it may fail or "succeed", it
doesn't really matter. Should it "succeed", the generic driver won't
work). You then have to run the Realtek installer one more time, and reboot
one more time. Then the new driver will be installed.

 

What driver did restore roll you back to ? 6.0.5 ?

 

It went back to 6.0.1.5361. Yeh, it dawns on me that I was told to
install the driver a second time by the install dialog box, but the
message saying that it was ready to use fooled me. Maybe I'll try again.

Addendum;
A second try succeeded. Thanks to all for the help.

I have to readjust the settings after each update. I have 5.1 speakers and
it keeps reverting back to 2 2.1 by default. The only real sound
difference/improvement I noticed was after the 7/15 update. Have you noticed
any changes?

 

I haven't installed them yet.

Damn, these Realtek driver updates are becoming a full time job -- every two
weeks and now every week!
