Violinists Turned Conductors

Posted by Nathan Weiss on June 6, 2024 at 11:05am 0 Comments

As the orchestra concertmaster is always a violinist, it seems natural that great conductors are often great violinists. Here we list some of the most notable.





When a feature writer for Great British Life magazine interviewed Sir Neville Marriner, the English violinist who founded and conducted the orchestra at the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, in 2008, he asked the aging virtuoso what he would like written on his tombstone. Pausing for just a moment,…

Realtek ac 97 audio problems - it sounds like mars attack.
After isolating my audio issues, I cannot seem to find the source of the error that is generating a sound that sounds exactly like the phasers from mars attack the movie. I looked at the drivers and all seems to work with wav files that play with the phaser sound in the background.
Anyway, if anyone can help me gain some sanity in this issues would be much appreciated.

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/directdownload.php . (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Try reinstalling your sound drivers from the motherboards website. Is your system clean & free of malware or virus infections?
Hey, I am using Realtek Audio driver in my system cause i want stereo mix does anyone know how to change speakers and headphones drivers to Windows HD audio driver, But still i want stero mix driver.
The Windows High Definition Audio driver is a generic, basic function, sound driver. It does not contain all the "bells and whistles".
What is "bad" about the Realtek audio? Its used in millions of PC's and works fine. I have Realtek on all of my PC's (two desktops and a laptop) and do not have "bad" sound with it.
Also, please fill in the "My System Specs" so we know what you have. It helps use to try and help you.

I've got an HP Pavilion a250n w/a Realtek AC'97 Audio Sound Card running through a Samsung digital LCD Monitor/Speaker combo (SyncMaster 172B), but all the audio is coming out with an echo, like I'm inside of a well! This problem occurs in media player (streaming NPR, playing CD's), internet sites (www.homestarrunner.com), basic Windows sounds, everything! Any ideas for resolving this issue?
Hello I know less about hardware than I do about everything else so please indulge And I have found so many threads re RealTek HD Audio but they don't seem to apply to me Mods please feel free to merge this to another thread as needed Problem Sounds sound effects for SOME RealTek HD in applications Audio sounds - issue but not all rd-party programs do not play Details All of the apps in question played their RealTek HD Audio - sounds in applications issue sounds fine on my XP amp Vista boxes And they all currently play fine on my W laptop However these same sounds plain old WAV files do not play on this W box from within their applications When I try to play them with WMP or MediaMonkey they play fine so there is nothing wrong with the WAV files themselves For example MailwasherPro includes options to play a sound for quot new mail quot The ONLY sound that will play is one chosen from the Windows Media default collection So I currently use quot Windows ding wav quot If I try to use any other of my many WAV files in a different location they don't work If I try to move one of my WAV files to the Windows Media folder they also do not work it is a similar issue for a couple of other programs Another example KIS a b is also configured to play sounds but it does not This may be b c the only sounds option for this program is quot Windows Default quot and I use quot Quirky quot All of the Windows sounds I am currently using Quirky theme play fine as does audio in any media player or web application So the hardware itself seems to be OK And some programs such as Thunderbird DO play their audio According to device manager my RealTek HD audio driver version is dated and this is the most current one offered for my system at the Dell website So Can someone explain what might be causing the problem Is there a fix Thank you very much MM.
I don't have a fix or answer. I've seen other posts about user or custom wav's not playing for windows functions. I've got the new M/W but have all system sounds turned off as I also use this PC for my Recording Studio PC.
I just recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I have always used Realtek HD Audio drivers because they provided the best sound for what I was looking for.
However, with the recent upgrade to Windows 7, the sound is very much different, giving sort of a flat sound to it.
Before upgrading, I would use the Rock equalizer for the best sound in my opinion.
Now in Windows 7 it sounds rather flat, but that is with all settings. I have tried turning the equalizer off but that does not give my favorite sound either.
Is there a way to get my old favorite sound from Windows XP?
Oh and I am still using the same headphones. They are 5.1 Surround Sound, Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA2.
First thought, does your PC vendor (or motherboard) have Vista/Windows 7 drivers for your RealTek sound? You didn't fill in the "My System Specs" so we have to guess or talk in generalities. In many cases you need vendor supplied drivers (especially Dell's) as non-vendor sound drivers may not work or work correctly. I do a lot of support on the Dell forum and we find the Windows "HD Drivers" also leave something to be desired.
Windows 7 64-bit I'm using an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor My audio is working, but I'm getting "popping" noises every 15-30 seconds and it's really bothering me. I updated to the latest driver for Realtek AC'97 and I insalled the Realtek HD Audio drivers, but only the AC'97 shows up in the device manager. When I got to add/remove programs, it shows that HD Audio can be uninstalled, but I don't know if that means it's working. From reading around on the internet, some people said the HD Audio driver solved their problem, but I'm not sure if mine is actually working or not. I don't know much about computers, so please spell things out explicitly for me so I can just follow directions.
Hello all I just got Windows Pro as a gift from a friend and installed it just a few hours ago and I noticed that I am having audio problems Basically put it's sort of random when this happens but it seems to happen when sounds play rapidly as letting a audio que play it's part will play with no popping nosies here ALC662) Audio Problems Realtek Popping Windows (Realtek is an example of me showing this by using the sound that plays when you change audio Vocaroo Voice message The first seconds are me playing the sound slow with no popping Then the sound starts popping when I change volume rapidly I also checked DPC Latency Checker and everything is running smoothly imgur the simple image sharer I have all the latest drivers installed and this happens with with no drivers I just can't seem to figure out what Windows Realtek Audio Popping Problems (Realtek ALC662) the issue is here EDIT I forgot to mention that I've tried disabling drivers removing the USB Keyboard and Mouse as well as setting the audio to CD Quality Thanks in Advance to the person who could help me with this.
What type of speaker system are you using ? Monitor with HDMI, check video card settings ? Could be conflicting driver, possibly Video card. Also mattering to speakers used, check for loose connections, something could be disturbing speakers.
Lots of reasons for popping and stuttering. Integrated card or PCI Slot Card?
i just got a new computer, it has a PM800-M2 motherboard with onboard Realtek AC'97 Audio (ALC655). my problem is that the sound does not come out of the right speaker, i have it set up right and have all the newest codecs (WDM_A380.exe) from realtek. i know for a fact that the speaker works because it works when plugged into a cd player. i dont know what to do from here, any suggestions would be helpfull! please and thankyou.
Maybe the output hole on the souncard is buggered. Or maybe the left/right speaker balance is right over to one side.
I have installed the realtek audio driver, but with the driver the sound in crackly, but when i uninstall it the sound is good but i can't use no headphones for my laptop. The realtek driver was the latest. Please i need some help and really fast.
Latest Realtek drivers worked fine for me 7.
Uninstall the drivers and download Driver Sweeper from Guru3D, install it and run it as admin and clean the Realtek drivers.
Try installing the new drivers again and see if they're better.
Ok, I'm a non-tech newbie with a problem. I have a Dell XPS running XP SP-2. I have installed Nuance's Dragon Naturally Speaking v9.0, which requires use of a headset. Whenever I attempt to use Dragon with an audio input device, my system crashes. The RealTek HD audio is identified as the problem. What must I do to get my RealTek system working so that I can use a headset for audio input/output?
Update XP to SP3, and while your are at it, install any Hardware updates available in Windows Update, after installing SP3.
My Realtek audio has disappeared and no sound is able to be played and I no longer have a Audio Problems Realtek capable sound device to play Realtek Audio Problems sound After a lot of research I found out that my computer has Intel Realtek Audio Problems PROset Bluetooth that caused Dell Quickset to stop working which in turn also killed my Realtek High Definition At least that is what I believe I now how uninstalled the Intel program Re-installed Quickset And I have tried multiple times to re-install Realtek Driver with no luck I then stumbled upon legacy hardware and installed the Realtek software from their and now I am able to find it in my device manager but it has the yellow exclamation point The device will not start or cannot and the Dell audio application is no where to be found I keep troubleshooting with windows and trying to use up to date software but I have had no luck I have sent my computer into Dell once and cannot do it again because of cost issues Hoping someone has a solution for me please Started Realtek Audio Problems with win - gt now upgraded to windows nbsp.
I have Realtek HD audio managing the sound on my computer, and it works fine as long as im just listening to music or other sounds.
however whenever i try to use my micmy computer dos massive feedback and random noises i tested my mic on another computer and it was crisp and nice (steel series 5h v2) but on this i suspect its the wave that screwing it up(when i mute wave it stops, but then so does all other recorded noises. )
i just updated my drivers and restarted my computer but it still dosn't work any idea on how i can get my mic to work(mainly for vent,ts,voip) use.
thank you in advanced.
Check to see if the mic boost is active.
I have integrated audio on my HP Pavilion a1023c computer (Realtek ALC 880 chipset) which appears to be working correctly. All drivers have been updated - when I click on Device Manager I see that the device, Realtek High Definition Audio, is working correctly, etc. yet I have no sound. I have uninstalled it and let the system re-install it - still nothing. I have checked the bios and everything there appears normal - the audio is set to auto. The operating system is Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3. When I insert a music CD it appears to be playing - yet there is no sound. I am now stumped - does anyone have any ideas on how to regain the sound .
I Just bought a GIGABYTE motherboard (GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard) which came with REALTEK AC '97 AUDIO and i can not get any audio sound what so ever. I installed the drivers guide which installed with no problems, but i still can not get anything. I installed the drivers, uninstalled and then reinstalled. nothing seems to be working.. i check my DEVICE MANAGER, and everything says its enabled and working. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is the device chosen as your output device in Sounds in Control Panel?
Where did the driver come from and are you sure it is for your AC'97 chipset?
And the obvious things---is the volume turned up and are you sure the speakers are turned on?
Have you installed the NVidia chipset drivers for the mainboard?
Yesterday afternoon some guy was moving the wires behind my computer to make space to pass by and move out the couch. then my computer shut off.
I reconnected my computer and i know everything is correctly plugged in but my audio isn't working. i can't hear a thing.
I am on Vista Home premium And I'm using Realtek High Definition Audio.
When i check the Sound settings everything is High and maxed out nothing is on mute and it shows that my speakers are emitting noise.
I also did the driver update and it is 3/12/2009 6.0.1.5809.
I think my computer isn't detecting my jacks or w.e. cause when i plug in my Microphone it doesn't work anymore.
If anyone has any idea of why it is not working or how i can fix it please help.
Some images that might help narrow down problems.
Oh yea and when i plug things in the little box doesn't come up anymore. (the one that says you have just plugged in something)
It's been a year since I migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7 which I downloaded Realtek HD Audio Manager R2.70 and audio has been working fine except the only issue it didn't come with 'Stereo Mix' preventing capability to record sound direct from the soundcard. It took me 14 months to restore Stereo Mix as each time I was told to update audio drivers I would update HD Audio Manager so what is the difference between these two Realtek ?
I installed Realtek HD Audio Driver R2.72 last night and it restored Stereo Mix which now enables me to record system sound whilst using screen recorders.

Realtek HD Audio Manager is a software driver used on Windows computers. It handles recording and playback of audio programs. It is required for many audio programs to operate.
While Realtek HD Audio Drivers is a tool that allows you to listen to audio in HD on your PC.
Stereo Mix is used to transfer audio that the PC is playing to recording software such as Audacity, so that you can record what you?re hearing.
When one upgrade their OS like in your case from XP to Win7 with the same motherboard and sound card it is always advised & recommended to download the latest soundcard driver, because the only thing that had changed was the operating system.
The advice is not to go to windows for it, but to go to the motherboard manufacturer, because it would be specialised for the system rather than a generic driver, which might not be as good, or even cause problems.
Dell Studio XPS Intel R Core TM system problems. no audio. No PC sound sounds, i CPU GHz CPUs GHz GIGs of RAM Windows Home Premium -bit Build Service Pack I here as a last resort before formatting my hard drive A couple of weeks ago the sound on my PC up and died for no apparent reason Ran PC sound problems.

Two items are needed to try and help you. A screenshot of the Sound, Playback panel and the Device Manager Sound section. Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums.
Here are mine for an example of what is needed.
Running an Acer laptop with Windows Vista that has Realtek HD Audio. Vista had first installed a generic HD Audio driver that worked the internal speakers, but the headphone jack did not work when it was plugged in (Worked in XP). I've recently updated the driver per Realtek's website that was made for Vista, however I have the same problem; The internal speakers work. When I plug headphones in, the internal speakers turn off of course, but no sound through output though.
I just switched from Windows XP Pro to Vista 64-bit Home Premium a few days ago. Since the change I can no longer get all of my audio to work. My headphone jac seems fine because I can plug my headphones in and hear sound or if I plug my speakers into the headphone jac I can also hear sound through them. I've checked and make sure that nothing is muted and checked to make sure every device is "enabled". My microphone with my headset doesn't work either now.
My only suggestions would be to first go back into Device manager, click on View and enable hidden devices and re-check for red/yellow flags. Then expand the sound tree again, right-click on the Realtek HD audio device and un-install the driver. Then re-boot.
Then go into the Realtek Audio Manager and reset to default settings.
i just had a new pc and ive gone to watch a film on it but it says audio device not installed, so i went thro sound,video and game controlers option in control panel and everything is installed. then i went thro in start menu>all programs>accessories>entertainment>volume control, and its sayin no available sound mixer. and it aint lettin me put my sound card thro the main sound settings. any help will be well appreciated.
What are your complete compter specs? Do you have any yellow marks in the device manager?
I recently ran a windows update and installed a newer version of the realtek high def audio driver. When i restarted my computer it didnt work, theres a little red x in my speaker icon in the right corner. I have tried rolling back the driver, downloading and reinstalling older versions of the driver. I have tried installing the motherboard audio drivers, reinstalling and uninstalling on the device manager, this thing involving subinacl dont really remember what, i found it on the internet somewhere. Please, someone help this is so aggravating. I have tried so many things i cant even remember everything. I am running Vista Premium 64. It is an HP dv6940se laptop with SP1, windows update is not letting me install SP2 for some reason, but im trying to get my sound fixed first.
the sound on my laptop wont work ive gone into device manager under the control panel and went to the current realtek hd audio manager driver and it says its working properly but i cannot hear any sound out of my computer I ve tried putting headphones into the computer and they wont work either i just get a sort of fuzzy sound but cannot hear any sounds of the computer I even replaced the speakers in the laptop only to find out that it was not the problem there are two icons in the toolbar at the bottom -one is a volume symbol and is red in color this just recently came up -the other is a regular white volume symbol where i can adjust the volume i ve looked into the sound manager and none of the volume adjusters are muted or anything so i have no clue what the problem is can any please help me with this nbsp.
I'd first try just reinstalling Realtek using the latest version you find from your system provider or motherboard mfr.
To remove it, first look in Add/Remove programs to see if Realtek listed and remove it there (that should remove applications, control panel applets and drivers). Then check Device Manager and, if still there, uninstall it from there too.
Hi all having some problems,the Realtek HD Audio Manager is my sound program and whenever for my mic i put the green plug in the green plug hole in front of my PC it used to work same as the pink recently my mic hasnt worked the pink in the front is fine the green isnt i have to hold it in for sound and if i let go it disconnects so ive bought a new mic still doesnt work though Pink works fine like before but i notice when my Green Plug is in at the front of my PC it says Rear Audio Output but how do i get my green plug to work fine without me having to hold it in.
All help Very appreciated.
tried any selotape?
it just sounds like u hav got a loose connection sumewhere lol.
I am having problems with "Realtek HD Audio input" My audio input devices (mic, TV tuner and other plug in devices) are not working. In the Realtek Audio Manager they are grayed out. I have tried everything and applied some of the fixes I read on the Internet, but the problem remains. Can you help. Also have pinnacle PCTV pro 5.5 (no audio while watching TV).
I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Version 2002 Service Pack 2 Intel Motherboard Desktop Board DQ35JO 2Duo CPU, E4500 @ 2.20 Mhz Edit/Delete Message.
Update XP to Service Pack 3. Reinstall the motherboards chipset drivers.
I have XP Prof. installed on my pc and the audio is hard wired into the motherboard. I have scanned for new hardware and my op sys isn't detecting it. The drivers are there and working properly but when I went into control panel and open "Sound, Speech, and Audio Devices", it says there's No Audio Device under the volume tab. Under the Audio tab it states that there's no MIDI, Playback, or Recording devices.
How can I force plug & play to detecting this hardware?
Right-click my computer => properties => hardware => device manager. Check that your audio controller is enabled there, if it isn't then right-click and enable it.
If that didn't help, tell us about your motherboard brand and model. Uninstalling/reinstalling the driver might work.
I got a new computer this Christmas and inside it is the RealTek HD audio manager as my sound, and currently when I am in vent or Battlefield 2, people can hear themselves AND my game over my mic even though I'm using a headset and speakers aren't even plugged in to my comp. There is another guy as well who has the same exact problem, is it just that realtek sucks or is there some sort of problem that can be solved? Please help if possible, thanks.
yes this is my problem 2.
does any1 have any solutions.
i have realtek audio output.the sound system works good.when i got to SOUNDS and AUDIO device propeties , a window is displayed it shows an option like -place a volume icon bar in the task bar , but if i try to click the option, its not working.it shows error message like "WINDOWS CANT LOCATE VOLUME CONTROL BAR SO INTSTALL IT IN ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS".when i contacted with computer service person he says like he cant help it becoz it is corrupted or u need to reinstall windows.is it true?kindly help.

That is highly unlikely to be true.
I think you may well find the solution here:
The audio works perfectly fine in Windows XP but not in Windows The problem is I cannot hear anything when I connect my earphones to the front jack I just get VERY quiet audio through my left earphone and nothing at all in the right one I have tried everything - from the stickies to things I've found while browsing this forum but nothing is working ALC Audio Problems x32 Realtek Ultimate - Windows 882, 7 I have integrated audio - Realtek ALC I have installed the latest drivers from both Audio Problems - Realtek ALC 882, Windows 7 Ultimate x32 Realtek sites realtek com tw and realtek cz but they didn't help Audio Problems - Realtek ALC 882, Windows 7 Ultimate x32 I have tried the pin registry hacks Pin Pin and Audio Problems - Realtek ALC 882, Windows 7 Ultimate x32 Pin b to but nothing happened I have fiddled with various settings unticked quot enable jack detection quot set Onboard Audio to Enabled in the bios set Stereo Mixer to default playback device but none of them did anything I am at my wit's end here Really I will appreciate any suggestions even obvious ones at this point I just want the sound to work.
The big problem is compatibility with Vista/Windows 7. HP does not have sound drivers for Vista or Windows 7, thus it is not supported. Non vendor (non HP) drivers may or may not work.
I used to do a lot of support on the Dell users forum and there were Dell's that were the same way - XP systems that Dell did not support for Vista/Windows 7. In those cases users were installing separate PCI sound cards that were Windows 7 compatible. You may have to do the same thing.
Vista/Windows 7 handles some audio functions differently than XP and the reason XP drivers are not compatible.
I Definition Audio problems RealTek High hope this is the right subforum for this I ve just recently gotten a new computer and installed Windows bit on it I m using an ASUS P X D-E motherboard with RealTek High Definition Audio Codec My problem is that my computer seems to only be recognising devices plugged into one audio jack Basically when I started the computer up the speakers which were already plugged in to the green port as normal worked fine and indeed they still work fine now However if I plug headphones or a microphone in to any of the other ports it says you have plugged a device into the audio jack but nothing actually happens - headphones are silent my microphone doesn t receive any sound The front two jacks don t even make that message pop up - nothing happens at all If I unplug my speakers and plug my headphones in to that jack they seem to work - but obviously that s less than ideal So it s as if this one jack works and none of the others do My microphone doesn t work when plugged into that jack of RealTek High Definition Audio problems course I ve tried reinstalling the drivers from CD updating the drivers through windows updating the drivers from the RealTek website reinstalling windows etc No change at all Any ideas nbsp.
Each port has it's own use. Check the motherboard User Manual for specifics.
With that said, the "green" port is the standard audio out port. This is where you would connect your speakers or headphones to hear the audio. It is a standard stereo output or in multi-channel mode, the front left/right.
Did the front panel ports ever work? They need to be connected to the proper outputs on the motherboard.
If they have worked in the past and/or they are properly connected, then you most likely have a driver issue. Several of the Realtek chipsets do not work well with Win7, especially 64bit.
Hey, I'm new to all of this drivers and such. I am currently running a Sony VAIO (VPCEJ190X) with Windows 7 Professional x64. The audio driver came as Conexant SmartAudio HD and I'd really like to get the Realtek HD Audio Driver.
Here is what I've done.
Downloaded and installed (w/ restart) Version R2.69, 64 bit realtek driver from their website.
Programs List. Device Manager. That's what I've done so far. Help please?
Welcome to the 7 Forums, Elite19.
The RealTek Driver doesn't seem to be installed. May be RealTek Audio Drivers are not compatible with your Computer. After you installed the RealTek Driver did the installation go properly?
Hey everyone This onboard soundcard is really getting on my nerves But I'm too lazy at the moment to look for a good new soundcard my x-treme music died - R I P So to the problem I have speakers a microphone and headphones the speakers work fine and the microphone used to work fine But the headphones always got recognised as speakers except when I put them in the front jack a spread like disease Realtek problems - audio HD but there they make terrible cracking like sounds As I have the latest driver I didn't see any hope in getting the front panel to work properly but why shouldn't it accept the backjacks From other forums I learned that it should work I tried fiddeling around so I unplugged all three headphones mic and speakers and suddenly it even stopped accepting my microphone it Realtek HD audio - problems spread like a disease just comes with the message quot This device type is not supported quot How stupid is that I didn't change anything at that point I just unplugged it and plugged it in again So please please tell me How can I get my microphone to work and my headphones as headphones with this Ffff 'different' soundcard.
First, whatever you plug into the rear GREEN "speaker" jack will be detected as "speakers". It doesn't know the difference between a headset and and speaker - just that a device is plugged into it and it assumes it's speakers. The same way with the front Headphone jack. Whatever is plugged in there - headphones or analog speakers it will still be detected as "headphones"
Since it worked once, except for the crackling noise whatever "fiddling around" you did seems to have corrrupted it. Uninstall the RealTek in the Device Manager (do not uninstall the drivers) and then restart the PC and when Windows starts it should detect and reinstall the sound. This may reset it and get things back to the way it was. If that doesn't fix it, reinstall the latest RealTek drivers for your specific system. If you have a "name brand" computer, such as a Dell in many cases non-Dell drivers do not work or work correctly.
If you get it back to everything working, then you can work on the cracking noise. There are several issues, the first one would be to reseat the audio cable from the front panel to the motherboard audio connection. If that does not fix it, there are many posts about "popping and crackling" in audio and it can happen with any sound device including SoundBlasters, RealTek, IDT (SigmaTel), etc. Some general issues that seem to affect this is wi-fi, video card/drivers, cordless phones or cell phones placed close to the PC. There can be other issues, but this is a starting point.
I have an integrated Realtek AC97 soundcard on my Acer Aspire 3000 (motherboard chipset SiSM760GX) laptop running Windows XP. Sometime in the last 3 months, some problems started occuring with the soundcard. When I play any audio (streaming/mp3/etc), the sounds starts to distort and crackle after a few minutes. Eventually, the audio 'slows down' as if the audio is running at half speed. These both happen intermittently. The effect is present on the onboard speakers, headphones, external speakers.
I've updated the audio driver and video driver, tried uninstalling and reinstalling the audio and video card, slowing down hardware acceleration, but nothing seems to work. I have a feeling something happened after a Windows XP update a few months ago.
Here's some info on the AC97 Configuration: Driver Version: 5.10.0.6050 DirectX Version: 9.0c Audio Controller: SiS(7012) AC97 Codec: ALC203 Any ideas.
When you installed the new Drivers, did you uninstall the old ones, reboot, then install the new?
After upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, the realtek HD audio driver lost lots of it's functionality, even to the point that i dare say it sounded better and was more functional in XP.
What's gone is: 3D Sound, Volume Control Tab, Some enviroment presets.
I *can* live without those, but what is bothering me the most now is this nasty thing called Loudness Equalization. Mind you, i listen to Techno, trance, and few rock songs. Each time there is a bass going on, the volume lowers, regardless of LE being enabled or disabled. I've read it somewhere that this is windows 7 / vista thing as. I tried changing drivers, but sadly it won't install my XP driver on 7.
Realtek HD Audio Codec: ALC888 DirectX Version: 11 Audio Driver Version: 6.0.1.6526 (Latest)
And again, NEVER had this problem on XP, hence why i posted this under WIndows 7 section! Please help!
What is the make and model of your machine? You can nto install xp drivers on win7. The changes to get those drivers to work are very slim to none.
hi, i'm having problems with my ac'97 install. when i try to install it from the original motherboard utilities cd. it gives me a error report(don't send) and when i try installing a downloaded version it shows the windows logo error. if i skip it it installs it but it doesn;t work. i tried different vrsions of windows. same end result.. oh and the logo sign error appears . the installation is running the alcupd file. please help.

Before you install any device drivers for that computer, you should first install the chipset driver for it.
The chipset driver allows the computer to detect and properly configure its devices.
Hi everyone! First post on the forums =P.
What the title says. Basically I have had to remove my soundcard (a Creative X-Fi Soundblaster) as it was completely blocking off the fan on my new graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 5850 - and yes there is no space left on my motherboard!). As a result I have to use my onboard sound. My motherboard is a Biostar A760G M2+ but the problem is that with Realtek HD Audio Manager installed my computer just wont play anything but stereo. I have 5.1 speakers but only the far left and far right speakers are playing, regardless of multiple configurations and switches between jack inputs ?_?
Im at a complete loss what to do; I know that my motherboard onboard sound supports 5.1 but its just a pain making it work =/
Are you seeing this?
Do you have the correct drivers installed? ( This is what you need for 5.1 on that board );
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/p. n=4&Prod > After you removed the sound card did you re-enable the on-board sound chip in the BIOS ?
Regards. Mike Connor.
Hello Maybe this should be in the Audio amp V >
Looks like you are trying to configure the sound from an app point of view. What does the hardware look like. Have you set them (apps) to use a specific piece of audio hardware. Start with the hard ware and work your way to the app settings. Not sure about why your settings are being changed sounds like it is going back to a default or an original hardware setting (that the software is picking up..)?
You must be running out of patience!

What am I supposed to hear? I don't hear anything wrong?
I deal with audio every day as I have a recording studio.
Alright interesting problem I have never seen before spilled some water on my laptop and after having some issues with the nvidia graphics card not being recognized I am noticing issues with Realtek Audio will only work if headphones are plugged into the headphone jack and the sound comes from headphones OR something is plugged into the mic jack and sound comes out of the internal speakers If nothing is plugged in no sound When the mic jack is plugged Audio Water Damage Post Realtek Problems in Realtek says that a device was unplugged and when I unplug the mic it says that a device was Realtek Audio Problems Post Water Damage plugged in Tried an uninstall and reinstall of the driver which Realtek Audio Problems Post Water Damage led to no success Laptop ASUS U SD-XA RAM GB Windows Home Premium Bit Realtek Version Any other info needed BTW the first image attached is headphones plugged in then mic plugged in then nothing plugged in EDIT i have no idea what happened but Realtek is freaking out on me going back and forth between working fine and thinking something is plugged in to the headphone jack having the problem I described.
I would suspect a hardware problem due to the water spillage. Hard to tell what was affected by it.

Hello, im Juan from Argentina. Im having a problem that looks like this one :
Trying to resume it: My mic records and plays at a VERY low volume + im sending EVERY SOUND like an output, if im using winamp, and im in a call on MSN, the person thats hearing me hears the music, and its like that with every other sound my pc plays. and aaallso. i can only hear the MIC from the LEFT Speaker.
i have an ASUS P5LD2-X mobo.
i tried everything in the topic i refered. but i dont have the Front or Rear Pink in volume settings. im desperate. Really.
Thnx from Buenos Aires.
I have an asus P5GC-MX, with the same dodgy Realtek HD Audio. I have had the soft microphone issue since the MB was first used.
Today I tried downloading the drivers from Realtek and installing. I also ran the "MicCal.exe" program, as mentioned in the other thread. There seemed to be no effect. I also enabled the "output" microphone control and switched on mic boost. Still nothing.
But then I restarted the pc, and everything works now! Unfortunately I don't know which action fixed it. But keep trying, you will get it!
Regarding the sounds being recorded, you can mute certain sounds using the recording controls in windows mixer. To access these, go to Options -> Properties and change the mixer device to "Realtek HD Audio Input", enable all the controls, and start playing around.
Hello, I recently purchased the Creative T6160 5.1 Multimedia Speaker System for my computer but cannot get the center and sub to work. The other 4 speakers work just fine. My Computer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen. cname=c01612549With Radeon 4650 video cardMy computer has Realtek audio installed, and in the Realtek HD Audio Manager I have set my speaker configuration to 5.1. The audio manager recognizes that my c/sub is connected but they produce no sound when I test them. I have updated all of my audio drivers. All of the speakers are connected into the back of the subwoofer and all 3 cords coming from the sub are connected properly into the back of my computer. Any help as to why these 2 speakers are not working would be appreciated.

Hey Guys I have a brand new motherboard with all the wonderful trimmings of a high-end gaming platform I recently bought a full install of Vista Ultimate and noticed some quot issues quot after the install On a random basis I will get BSOD's and on other occasions my PC will just reboot itself out of nowhere I noticed that this USUALLY not always happens when audio is playing usually again not always through Winamp Windows Media Player The only time my PC ran for hours straight with no issues was when I disabled the audio device completely I have tried multiple versions of the Realtek drivers starting with the latest that was posted on BSOD/Driver Problems Audio 64) (Vista Realtek = Ultimate this forum going back to I think that's the ver number anyway I'm not at my PC at the moment The most stable driver I've had yet was the oldest I could find - - but does not include the Realtek Audio Manager the newer ones Realtek Audio = BSOD/Driver Problems (Vista Ultimate 64) did and I still have a BSOD every couple hours The latest driver allows me to run for almost BSOD-free BUT the audio driver will quot die quot every half hour or so while in use and so far the only solution I have for when that happens is to reboot I can tell the driver dies when I hear the last second of audio repeatedly while the PC continues to respond perfectly fine Winamp Ventrilo Media Center will throw device-driver errors until I reboot Under Windows XP Pro the latest Realtek audio drivers worked perfectly on this motherboard and never had BSODs This leads me to believe it's a driver Vista issue I have looked at many many Realtek issues on this forum and could not find anyone who had a problem similar to mine Also - Does anyone know how to disable DEP Data Execution Prevention completely in Vista This MAY be what's causing the issue but I can't find an Off button anywhere - I can change DEP to work on basic Windows components or on all components except what's listed And yes I tried using wildcards in the exception box When I get home tonight I'm going to try the quot Repair quot install that Brink mentions frequently It seems to work for several people and if it doesn't ruin my personal settings then I guess it won't hurt to try It's very odd because I bought the exact same hardware setup for my father as I have the only difference beeing he purchases Vista Home Premium bit and his audio works just fine after a lot of clean installs He does not remember specifically but he's pretty sure he didn't install any audio drivers on top of what Vista already provided - whereas I had issues right out of the gate with my default driver.
Welcome to Vista Forums.
I do not know if DEP is the cause or not, but this will show you how to disable or enable it for testing.
DEP - Enable or Disable.
Hope it works for you, Shawn.
Hello I have this ready built office pc quot Dell Precision T quot quite nice setup but i have a problem with the sounds ive encountered this problem years ago with the same integrated Realtek HD Audio integrated Realtek problems vocal/bass HD with balance Audio device Realtek HD Audio integrated problems with vocal/bass balance For awile now it has annoyed me alot that the sound levels keep changing from bass say a song where you got strong vocals before the bass kicks in the vocals are loud and clear but when the bass starts kicking the vocals are supressed for atleast - volume when the bass eases up vocals and other background sound volume rises again What i have tried Remove reinstall drivers adjust the bass volume control on the subwoofer change speakers try the same speakers on another pc try the speakers on my mobile phone fiddled with all kinds of settings ive found on windows and realtek hd control returned them back to normal It works great on other pcs with a different sound card and the sound was actually best on my mobile phone My solution is to buy a new good sound card but meanwhile it would be nice to just get it working better This pc only has plugin holes for sound and mic cables might be the problem but it doesnt explain how it works on a laptop with the same holes.
The Precision line is designed to be a business workstation. But, it should sill function properly.
Whether the Realtek hardware is the problem or something else?
Realtek just issued R2.78 drivers. I would give them a try and see how they work. ONLY use the Windows Media Player and on a known good song file. Do not have other media programs running or be on line. Just the basic computer to see how it works.

Help. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 64bit (on my HP Vista 32 machine). Life is grand! My problems started when I tried to listen to the microphone input through my speakers. The front microphone inputs did not work so I downlaed the Realtek HD Audio Drivers (recently updated) from the realtek site. The inputs now work and I can record from the microphone through the Sound Recorder app in Accessories but can not hear the microphone through the speakers while I am recording. After searching the web I noticed a lot of chatter about setting things up in the Realtek HD Audio Manager. This app does not show up in my control panel. Does anyone know where I can get it (if I really need it). The Realtek site only has the driver download (not the manager). Am I missing something, am I confused, or both?

Are u shure you installed realtek audio driver correctly?If you installed it correctly then go to your control panel there you will find Realtek HD sound effect manager open it then click on the i buttton at left corner below then tick the show icon on desktop.think this will help you.
I installed the Realtek HD audio driver from the ASUS download site (P8Z68-V Pro MB) and all was well until I installed an MSI 560TI video card and let it install the Nvidia HD Audio drivers. The problem I have been chasing ever since was the Realtek HD Audio Manager popping up after the system exited extended sleep state (overnight). After much trial and tribulation and several Google Searches I concluded that the Realtek/ASUS HD Audio driver was conflicting with the Nvidia driver(s).
I did what suggested on one of the sites and that was to delete the Realtek HD Audio drivers and just let W7 install the default Microsoft drivers. Problem gone! Now I am curious, what did I give up and if I install the latest Realtek driver for W7 64-bit (v267) from the Realtek site will the Nvidia conflict return?
Generally the Microsoft installed HD Audio Codec does not have all the features the motherboard vendor's sound drivers do. In most cases the actual driver is preferred and should be installed instead of the generic HD Audio Code drivers.
The NVIDIA driver is for the Video and the build in audio for HDMI audio. It should not be interferring with the PC's sound and in this case Realtek. I would uninstall the Microsoft drivers and reinstall the RealTek and see if you still have the problem. Generally a driver causes problems when exiting from sleep mode. Actually on "extended" sleep mode of overnight its really better to just shut down the system and then reboot in the morning. If you want it to be operational when you wake up, the BIOS should have an option for auto power on at whatever time you set.
I just hooked up a Bose Companion 3 system to my compyuer and when I plau songs on my Itunes they sound echo'y. I am running out of things to try and was hoping that someone might have had a similiar problem and be able to help me.
I had my reatek set with the sound effects turned.
i've just bought a new computer that has an onboard soundcard. It's the Realtek HD ALC888 driver that's on the pc and i can't seem to record sounds from the internet with it. I've tried using the various inputs and outputs at the back and on the front panel but nothing works. With my old pc which had an audigy 2 card, i could record any sounds my pc played just with headphones plugged in to the line out at the back.
If anyone has any information on this i would be most grateful.
Check with the manufacturer (of your computer) if the drivers are the most current. Also do you run Vista? If so check with Realtek also.
I get crackling/popping sounds it my games. It's very annoying because it also affect my fps. I tried different driver version and different audio settings but no luck. I notice that it all started after I installed Battlefield Bad Company 2, after I installed my new video card (ATI Radeon HD 5770) the crackling/popping got more worse. I uninstalled BC2 to see if that was the problem but no. The crackling/popping stops when I return to desktop. I have ALC888s.
Maybe a dumb suggestion, but my son had a similar problem. It turned out that he had the volume level on his monitor turned up (he is using integrated sound from his mobo, not the monitor). We found that once we set that to 0 the popping in games and iTunes stopped.
Recently I noticed my sound volume was kind of low even when I raised it to 100%.
When I checked Control Panel . Sounds and also Device Manager, the front left & right work. But the center speaker & side left & right don't work anymore (the subwoofer never has so I assumed it was not installed).
I don't know what to do. I've tried to update the driver but it says I have the most recent one and it's all working.
I have an Acer 6930G 64-bit laptop with Vista Home Premium Version . 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002.
Can someone please help?!
Hello Gia45, Go to Device Manager and un-install the sound driver, reboot and re-install. You will need to go to your makers site for the new drivers, while your there, update the chipset drivers too. Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.
Gigabyte GA-EX38-DQ6 Vista Premium x64.
I was hoping that this new HD-Audio codec would be good enough, as I had too much problem with Creative cards. The HD-Audio sounds okay for music, but Realtek and Gigabyte don't give an equalizer, nor even bass/treble controls. All I have are equalizer "presets" (Rock/Pop/etc. ). There is no way to tweak them to my satifaction. Come on Realtek and Gigabyte! Get your act together!
Coming from an Audigy 2, this on-board audio sounds terrible in games. Games sound very flat, with no acoustics or reverb.
Anyone have advice on a compatible sound card with Vista x64, that has room occlousion and other reverb effects in games?
Realtek does not provide 10-band EQ support for any of their Vista drivers despite having it down on their feature listing. There's probably not enough demand for it in the market. There's nothing you can do about it except dual booting into XP.
Yeah. Sucks, I know.
I'm having a strange problem in my HTPC Audio is coming perfectly fine out from the S PDIF coaxial output and it's normally connected only that way to the receiver but now for other reasons rear Realtek output on from fine nothing S/PDIF, audio, audio ALC889 I also need to connect it using a mm to a small mixer So in the sound manager Realtek ALC889 audio, audio fine on S/PDIF, nothing from rear output I changed the output to the quot Speakers quot and in fact the Realtek sound manager detects Realtek ALC889 audio, audio fine on S/PDIF, nothing from rear output that a cable is plugged into that output and shows me the dialog where it's selected Problem is nothing comes out I know it's not the mm to RCA cable because I plugged in my phone played some music and I can hear it just fine Realtek ALC889 audio, audio fine on S/PDIF, nothing from rear output But the rear speaker green output puts out no sound at all as I also tested it plugging headphones On the Sound Windows panel where you can select the playback device I can see the volume level move up and down when I'm playing any media file as well as in the Volume Mixer If I switch back to the S PDIF output and change the input in my receiver audio is coming just fine I haven't tried the front outputs because they are not connected The motherboard has HD Audio but the case has AC connectors so I never cared to connect them because I don't use them I know the rear green output worked at some point because I remember having a pair of computer speakers connected to it a few years ago This is a Gigabyte GA- FXA-UD rev motherboard with an AMD T and GB of RAM with Windows Home Premium The installation is about two months old with the drivers from back then and the latest audio driver on the Gigabyte website is from so this driver is the latest available I tried rebooting the machine just in case but it didn't help Any idea what this could be Did a power surge selectively fried the analog part of the audio chipset It is connected to a surge protector I built this computer myself and I'm always very careful to tie every cable and not leave them loose inside the case Thanks Sebastian.
I found out after a while. In the popup dialog when a cable is plugged in, I had selected "Rear speaker out" mistakenly thinking it was talking about the rear output, not the rear speakers in a 5.1 speaker setting. Changing to "Front speaker out" solved the problem.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I have a problem with sound. When I plug my speakers in front panel I have output audio, but in back panel I don't.
My Audio Manager looks like this, but front panel is enabled and back panel is disabled. It does not recognize back (ANALOG) jack.
I tried with settings in this manager but without success, I cheked Control Panel > Sound and followed instructions but still no sound if speakers is in back panel. What to do?
P.S Sorry for bad english.
What is set as the Default Playback Device? If "Digital" or "HDMI" is set as default you will not get any sound from rear audio connections. "Speaker" must be set as Default Playback Device/
Hi I finally upgraded from Windows XP to Windows and almost went back shortly after finding out I could no longer organize or manually arrange my own personal files and or folders but luckily I discovered an application called 'Folder Options X' which has re-enabled that feature for me so I'm happy to be upgrading I'm having a few issue's with my audio playback options I'm using an audio application called SRS Audio Sandbox Version which doe's work with Windows because when I first installed it was working perfect for a good few weeks time but recently I downloaded Realtek HD Audio Manager to enable me to playback audio through my monitor speakers but it seems to have changed my audio setup I have a Logitech z speakers which take up green black amp yellow ports and my monitor has a green audio jack which I plugged in green and my Logitech's green jack I've plugged into Blue and used Realtek HD Manager to change Blue port to a Line Out option It appears to work accept when I do Speaker Playback Test clicking on diagram only left amp right speakers playback noise though when I do it with headphones on all speakers playback noise Left Right Center Sub Rear Left amp Rear Right not sure Playback Knocks SRS Realtek) Sandbox Audio Out Device Audio (Default if that's normal Under Sound proprieties my Realtek HD Audio is set as the default playback device in which both my speaker amp monitor playback music but I need it to playback through SRS Audio Sandbox so I can manage and adjust the sound but when I set SRS as default device no music plays Thanks in advance Direct Link http i tinypic com o zr jpg Direct Link http i tinypic com h w jpg Edit I think my sound card is ASUSTeK Tiger Capture Device thanks.
Reading some users comments on the Sandbox "audio enhancement" most comments are negative about this product. SRS Audio Sandbox - CNET Download.com.
If it worked at one time and now does not, have you tried making it the default audio playback device rather than the RealTek? Or have you tried reinstalling it?

Is best to upgrade to SP3 (if only because MS has dropped support for SP2) but can start, for now, looking at your problem while you continue running with SP2.
Let's start with these initial steps 1) List any Problem Devices.
Make sure all your devices are connected and powered on Click Start->Run, enter: msinfo32. Click the + sign next to Components to expand it Click Problem Devices. Anything appear? If yes, click on it, Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy it, Ctrl-V to paste into next post 2) Generate and attach a DirectX report.
click Start->Run, enter dxdiag Notice progress in lower left window corner When done, click Save Information button and save to your Desktop In TechSpot, use the paper clip icon to attach the report. (If you don't see icon you may need to first click Go Advanced) 3) If there were no Problem Devices (step 1 above) then also check on your Windows Audio service if Status=Started and StartupType=Automatic.
I'll have a look and we can take it from there.
Hi, Recently, I started getting problems with my audio on my alienware X51 R2 (I'm on windows 10). After a long time of searching for solutions all over the internet like on forums, I've come to the point where the only possible solution to my problem is using the realtek hd audio manager. The problem is: I can't access it on my alienware device since it is completely replaced by your poor version of it "Alienware Audio" wich does not have any of the options I need. How could I restore the original version of this software or at least disable the alienware audio version?
I have a self-assembled desktop PC - full specs in the signature below but in short it has an AMD Phenom II X T processor on a Gigabyte GA- A-DS P mainboard which uses a Realtek Azalia ALC on-board sound system I have no loudspeakers and listen to the computer sound exclusively through a Microsoft LX- headset I also have a Logitech C HD webcam that has its own microphone My PC has GB RAM a SSD and a large HDD It runs Windows Update with all Windows updates Patch Tuesday was this week but my problems had started before that and I'm sure they're unrelated Everything is working fine except the audio which started behaving strangely a few days ago The problems started suddenly and I can't think of anything that could have caused them There were no hardware changes or any intervention in the hardware nor did I install any new software that could have messed up things When playing music it sounds muffled with strange-sounding not Realtek Gigabyte audio, working mic audio, mobo: the volume very low and the voice and several instruments muted while Realtek audio, Gigabyte mobo: strange-sounding audio, mic not working other instruments in the background arrangement sound louder No graphic equalizer is on and this happens with any player software Realtek audio, Gigabyte mobo: strange-sounding audio, mic not working Windows Media Player VLC Media Player Classic etc and any source MP music audio CDs DVDs videos etc There appears to be no hardware problem with either my headset or the onboard audio when I run both Windows' native and Realtek's driver sound output tests the test tune comes out loud and clear in the tested channels Neither microphone works to record audio either - neither Realtek audio, Gigabyte mobo: strange-sounding audio, mic not working the headset's nor the webcam's with any recording program I have connected the headset both to the PC case's front connectors linked to the mainboard by a cable and to the rear ones which are parts of the mainboard itself no difference YouTube videos are also mute both when played in Chrome or IE using HTML and in Firefox using Adobe Flash all in their latest versions Curiously however the YouTube-hosted videos from a local newspaper's Web site play the audio of their initial vignette which appears to be synthesized or MIDI normally but the rest of the video with the news story is silent I normally use quot No Sounds quot as my Windows sound scheme but I've tested other sound schemes they all work but volume is very low as with the music There is no sign of any abnormality indicated either in Windows' Control Panel or in Realtek's control center window The driver correctly detects when the headset is disconnected or reconnected all tests work fine like I said both Microsoft's and Realtek's speaker tests come out loud and clear through my headset I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek drivers several times both the version supplied by Gigabyte with the mainboard - which in spite of a different numbering system appears to be the penultimate one from Realtek - and the latest generic version from Realtek's Web site no effect I have installed a new codec pack to see if there was any trouble for applications to communicate with the driver no effect I have changed every possible configuration option on both Windows' and Realtek's control panels also to no effect What could be happening and what could be done short of reinstalling Windows which of course I don't want to do It surely looks like a software problem because of the passed hardware tests and the strangely perfect vignette in the newspaper site's videos But which software where As you can see from what I wrote above I've tried everything I could think of Thank you very much for your help.
First thing to do is disable or disconnect the Web Cam. They have been known to cause various sound problems. It may not be the problem, but eliminate it as the problem.
Stereo Mix needs to be set as the Default Recording Device.
Refresh the RealTek by going to the Device Manager, RIGHT click on the RealTek entry in the Sound section then LEFT click "Uninstall". DO NOT uninstall the drivers. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it will reinstall the sound. This usually fixes any Windows/Sound corruptions. If this does not fix it, download and reinstall the RealTek sound drivers.
I am using the trial version of Audio Mid Recorder and when i record anything from like lets say, youtube or even from a radio station it comes out sounding very thin, as if it was recorded from a pair of head phones. All audio devices seem to be in working order. ok, I just found out why it's sounding thin is because it was recording through the mic head set. Now I disabled the headset but still on the recorder the source device on the drop down option for recording device it is not listed.
I thought that this was disable to plug the analog hole, so that people could not record what they are hearing from their sound card. basically going around copy protection.
Analog hole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I think they started it with Vista, I could be wrong.
Here is some more info on it: Ask the Doctor: Pluggin' the Analog Hole | Maximum PC.
i recently bought a new mobo (MSI - p4m900m3) and everything is working fine apart from i cannot get my sound to work. everything seems to be installed correctly in device manager ( no '!' next to any of my audio drivers) i have ALC888 on board sound. on board sound is enabbled in my BIOS. iv been compleatly stumped on this one for quite a while. if you need any more information just ask. any help would be very appretiated.
Hey Guys So here it goes I normally have my Logitech z- speakers connected to the onboard sound output green yellow and black as well Defition sound audio High onboard No Audio) from (Realtek as my Plantronics connected to the front panel USB port I used to be able to play music through any one without any problems just had to select which one I wanted as my default playback device Now my problem is I get audio fine through the but I get no sound what so ever from any of the onboard ports No sound from onboard audio (Realtek High Defition Audio) I have searched online for hours trying all the suggested solutions check below but I'm hoping its not a device failure What's weird is that just like all other posts I've read when I plug anything into the onboard jacks I get the speakers as connected and the audio level moves with sound but I get no output from my speakers What I have tested removing and reinstalling audio drivers from Asus website - no luck trying a headphone in the different jacks to see if any would give audio - no luck went into the BIOS made sure I was up to date and the sound device was enabled - no luck I can post screenshots of anything that may help in trying to resolve this problem and would appreciate anyone assisting me Thank you.
Ravir mate do yourself a favour and install a sound card I have the exact same board and I fitted an Asus Xonar DG after spending a load of time trying to make sense of the Asus site, RealTek site and the Windows feature which are all a crock of crap. The GUI for the Xonar card is great for sound (up to 7:1 support) and effects and mixing. Best of all it is cheap. I have them in three of my machines and would not be bothered with the onboard rubbish. Sound Cards and Digital-to-Analog Converters - Xonar DG - ASUS.
I think my question is this how do I set up VSX- a Pioneer AVR in Control Panel Sound and Hardware Sound so that its driver is Realtek HD Audio and not the Intel Display Audio one In Device Manager under Sound Video and game controllers I have two sound card drivers Realtek High Definition and Intel Display Audio I don't understand Audio Realtek Definition and High Intel Display Audio how Realtek High Definition Audio drivers work in relation to the Intel Display Audio drivers If I go to Control Panel Hardware and Sound Sound then Playback there are four options as you can see from the picture below I'm guessing that if I choose Realtek High Definition Audio and Intel Display Audio the receiver as my default device that I'm using the Intel Display Audio drivers and any of the other three options that I'm using the Realtek drivers Is this correct If the receiver is the default device everything works fine I Realtek High Definition Audio and Intel Display Audio get sound from sites like cnn com and I can listen to internet radio etc However if Speakers are the default device I don't get sound Is this normal If so what's the reason for having Realtek If it isn't normal will I notice a difference if I use the Realtek drivers If I would see hear a difference how do I get them to work.
The RealTek is for the regular PC sound. The Intel Display Audio is for HDMI sound. If an HDMI cable is plugged in Windows will automatically default to the HDMI as the "default playback device". If you have an HDMI cable plugged in and want the PC sound you must manually change the playback device. If you want both HDMI and PC audio, you can't have that as Windows will only allow one default audio playback device.
Does this answer the question?
I have several computers of differents (HP, Toshiba, etc) and It happens the same problem. The audio device has an exclamation mark in Device Manager.
I think this problem is caused by some update windows. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32bits .
Does anyone know what Windows Update should be uninstalled ?

Did you recently install/reinstall the operating system?
Start, control panel, Windows mobility center. Make sure the function row is set for multimedia key.
This is a problem that just started after having my drive wiped and OS re-installed.
Sound plays quite loudly when played through virtually anything; media players, Youtube, Firefox and Internet Explorer, anything. Yet the sounds from certain video games are extremely low in volume, which has never happened to me before.
Also worth noting: At seemingly random intervals, certain sounds in the games would play at full volume.
Attaching my DxDiag.
One thing I noticed is that in the Playback devices, the stereo mix always picks up sounds louder than the speakers play out, unsure if this is related at all.
Also not sure if it's related or relevant, but my original system had the hard drives set on IDE, but now they're both set on AHCI.
EDIT: I think I've solved it. It was just a matter of turning on Loudness Equalization. Leaving it open because I wanna know if this is indeed the issue or just a quickfix.
I doubt that the loudness is the correct "fix" since the sound is OK except in games. Many games have an option for the sound level and can be adjusted in the game setup. Others use MIDI to generate the sounds.
