Oh, that one, I thought you were talking about speaker icon for volume. If you want access to Mixer, that hack for Old Type Speaker icon can help. You can get to Speaker properties from it, just like in ye olde times.

Well, did another update and saw something which then I tried again and saw another strange thing, but the icons are there now.
On a Windows 7 laptop I own, I installed the 6.0.1.7806. My process is uninstall, reboot, CCleaner and then install, reboot. But my laptop has a colored keyboard which is controlled by a program. When I rebooted after the uninstall I had an error message saying that the lit keyboard control had an error and will not work which the keyboard was not lit. That program was not even running. What did that have to do with the audio driver I just removed? Who knows, but I proceeded my process and after I installed the new driver and rebooted the keyboard was lit again and the program that controls that was running at startup.
So I thought maybe something on these Windows 10 machines had some sort of similar issue and sure enough I saw it. After uninstalling the older driver and then rebooting I saw all my jpgs and video files on my desktop did not have that preview of what it was as the icon. Here is an example of what the icons do after the uninstall and reboot
As you can see even my folders with pictures have no preview.
Now I have rebooted twice and so this time I went ahead and installed 6.0.1.7806, rebooted and all is well. I see the speaker now in the tray, the program is in the control panel and my previews are back on my icons.
What is the correlation? Not sure, but everything is working now. Sorry for the lengthy post, but hopefully if some one else has this problem they can follow this process to fix it.
Thanks again CountMikeLast edited by AirPower4ever; 01 May 2016 at 11:31. Reason: wrong gramar

Strange are the paths MS takes. Keep in mind that many drivers and programs use some correlating features like .Net, Dx etc. Ccleaner and stuff like that could clean icon cache and cause default icons until cache is rebuilt. I use Revo for some driver uninstallations. Cleans up registry of tails without touching anything else.

After installing this latest driver on my ASUS P8P67-M board with windows 10 (on board sound), there
is a DEFINITE sound improvement. Mind you I was using ASUS OEM drivers
from 2012 before in windows 7.
So I'd say if your coming from oldie drivers this may help!

AirPower4ever. After you've uninstalled the Realtek HD driver and rebooted, do you run the CCleaner Registry Cleaner?
I've found I have to run the Registry Cleaner twice, the first pass identifies around 159 Realtek entries, after deleting these I have to run it again and around another180 Realtek entries are found. I get rid of these which seems to do the job.
Don't know if this will help with your problem but it's worth a try.

Hi all. I've an Asus Z97-A motherboard that has a Realtek® ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC featuring Crystal Sound 2
The problem I have is that every time I reboot the mapping for the rear speakers in a 5.1 setup (using the black, green and orange/red ports), keep getting reset to "Side Speaker Out" rather than "Rear Speaker Out". Is there a away to force the driver to stick with my assigned values? (When I dual boot the machine into OSX my settings work every time, no fiddling required).
I've tried using the stock drivers from Asus and the latest drivers linked to in this thread but it makes absolutely no difference.
