    This one is the nvidia hd audio. Is it possible the onboard audio is wrong? Because even if there is no drivers isntalled i think i should see it in the device manager.
    The AL1220 is not the Nvidia HD Audio. but it looks like your Nvidia HD Audio is also using the Microsoft Driver , not the Nvidia HD Audio Driver, but I also use the M$ Driver as the Nvidia Driver causes my BenQ Monitor not to wake properly from sleep.

    You are correct the Realtek 1220 HD Chip should be showing in DM even if you don't do anything , Win10 would install Drivers even if you didn't .....if it found a Hardware Device......it's not disabled in the Bios is it? is it set to HD Audio or AC97 in the Bios?

    Perhaps you should contact AsRock T.S. too ....hopefully it is not a faulty Motherboard.

    Have you looked through DM in ALL the sections to see if it is being detected incorrectly and listed in the wrong place ?

    I am sorry I can't think of anything else to try , you should try the AsRock Forums and their Tech. Support ( T.S.) I think.

    I kinda had this problem with an old proprietary HP M2N68-LA Narra board for an HP computer where the Realtek HD Audio device sometimes won't show up in Device Manager. when that happens the "High Definition Audio Controller" device in System Devices section of Device Manager may have also disappeared as well, taking the Realtek audio device with it. Eventually it turned out to be a faulty board and had to be replaced.

    There should be two instances of High Definition Audio Controller device in the System Devices section of Device Manager for the ASRock board, bisko; one for nVidia HD audio and the other for Realtek audio. It was like this with my Gigaybte 78LMT-USB3-R2 board that has AMD HD Audio & Realtek ALC892 audio and has two instances of High Definition Audio Controller devices listed in Device Manager.

    Support for new hardware, CODEC, DAC; and improvements for things like Sonic Radar, Sonic Studio(ASUS) for gamers to hear direction of sound?
    maybe even improve compatibility with the newest Win10 release (1809/RS5)
    need at least 8540 something (or 8550+) when running Windows 10 v1809

    i tried hdxrog.inf but didnt work .. but i installed from station drivers even though i dont like generic drivers because they arent optimized for specific hardware
    but did you uninstall the old Realtek audio drivers first either thru Programs and Features control panel or Device Manager before installing the new ones as I suggested (like in this example)?

    when I remove/uninstall existing Realtek audio drivers thru Device Manager I check the box that says "Delete the driver software for this device" to remove the drivers completely, then I reboot and then attempt to install the newest Realtek audio drivers.

    8551 HDA was recently mentioned in the Station Drivers forum, a few hours ago (at last a new driver version in the 8550s)
    since I didn't try out any of the 854x versions except 8541 on a few machines, I'm updating many of them that have Realtek audio chips to 8551.

    Hey erpster, could you explain why you chose to ignore the 854x updates?
    Anything new re the 855x?

    8551 is a lot more neutral than 854x

    Well if that means better, it certainly is here! I'm leaning towards 8551 being the best driver ever, or at least in quite a while.
