Hello everyone.

One question please:
How can it be that Realtek hasn't updated the drivers in their official site from July 26th 2017?

Why does this happen even though high definition audio drivers are so commonly used?

Probably because they send their latest drivers out to motherboard manufacturers and Microsoft regularly and don't feel the need to update update their homepage.

Thank you for the reply.

The driver (for example 6.0.1.8409) applies for all realtek IC chipsets?
Actually, are all chipsets the same or each manufacturer customizes their own?

*Update:
The 64-bit option for 6.0.1.8412 that worked for most users are no longer visible on MUC, but they are still available (direct download).

OK, I see that the 32-bit option is available again, but earlier it wasn't.
Still, the 64-bit (139.3 MB) option that worked for most is no longer there...
this is what I see at the moment.

I'm using 6.0.1.8412 and so far it sounds good on my system here.

Hi,

Whichever way you turn it it's always going to be a simple opamp using el cheapo semi-conductors, right ?

Cheers and just feeling a tad naughty tonight,
