No Realtek HD audio manager on laptop

Hi I was trying to get full features for Realtek, including enhancements and equaliser, and the features you mention too... I ended up downloading the default from their site here:
Realtek

Have a look in the control panel. Is there an applet there?
(e.g. Windows key + X, click Control Panel, search for Realtek).

I dragged and dropped a shortcut into Startup to have it launch on logging on.

Better to use this:
C:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA\RAVBg64.exe

C:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA\
?

This is what I downloaded- zipped folder- extract folder, run Setup.exe
Realtek 7950_PG451_Win10_TH_RS_Win8.1_Win8_Win7_WHQL.zip

Stereo mix is certainly one thing some laptop manufacturers restrict or maybe on some models.

When I installed the Realtek driver from my manufacturer I did not have the HD manager. That's why I got the generic one from Realtek.

Hmm.... I just downloaded from the Realtke site. I downloaded

• Description: 64bits Vista, Windows7, Windows8, Windows8.1, Windows10 Driver only (Executable file) R2.81
• Downloads: filename 0008-64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_Win10_R281.exe

/EDIT/
@dalchina
Did you say your download came from the same Reatek.tw site?
/* end Edit */



The extracted files includes 95 different INF files! That means that "one" Realtek driver download can configure the R2.81 driver any one of 95 different ways depending on which Realtek audio chip it finds. So two people can easily see different driver results.

I'm travelling in the morning, so don't know how much we can get accomplished before leaving but....

1. Are you downloading that same 64-bit driver .exe from Realtek as I did?

2. Generate and attach a DirectX report

• Click Start Orb (in lower left corner), type dxdiag in the search box. Hit Enter
• Notice progress in lower left window corner
• When done, click Save Information button and save as a text file to your Desktop
• Upload the file to your next post

3. Let's see which INF was used to install your driver config
> In sound device right click->Properties, then Details tab. Use pull down to select Inf name. That's called the "Published Name"
> From an admin command prompt, type dism /online /get-drivers. Use that output and tell us the "Original File Name"

When I install R2.81, it uses hdxrt.inf which gives me a very simple Realtek HD Manager

Code:

Published Name : oem4.inf
Original File Name : hdxrt.inf
Inbox : No
Class Name : MEDIA
Provider Name : Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Date : 1/5/2017
Version : 6.0.1.8036

The very simple Realtek HD Audio Manager it installed for me
