Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [archive]

Hi,

Yep. I mentioned this before here.

I also export the drivers to a dedicated folder after every driver update using either:

Command line Admin:

Code:

Dism /online /export-driver /destination:D:\Drivers

Change D:\ to whatever you fancy.

Or Powershell Admin:

Code:

Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination D:\Drivers

Of course you need to create the "Drivers" folder first.

If you do not run the update from setup.exe then a %Windir\Lastgood folder (or Lastgood tmp) gets created. This allows you to rollback the driver to the previous version.
If you're happy with the current latest one you can delete his folder too.


This not only pertains to Realtek updates but to others drivers as well.

Cheers,

Hi,

You're welcome. Code edited, I should pay more attention.

Cheers,

The latest Realtek HD Driver release is also part of their release of version R2.80. It is available at the Realtek site on the first page of this thread.

Realtek site was stucked with the an old version so far . good news

I had no trouble downloading from the Realtek website on first page of this thread.

Hey Guys, can you please explain what is the difference between:
* High Definition Audio Codecs R2.80 (from Realtek site)
* 8004_PG454_Win10_TH_RS_Win8.1_Win8_Win7_WHQL.zip

Is it the same package?

They're the same.

Most important differences:
1. FINALLY Realtek have updated their downloads on their website.
2. Much easier to use the Realtek link, as it is an .exe file. Just download it, click on it, and follow instructions.

P.S. I'm going to use the one from the Realtek website.
