Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [archive]

I spoke to a tech guy who has contacts with Realtek. At this point he doesn't know the status of their FTP server.
But, he did email me with their latest update (sent as a zip file). I decided to upload it & share it here.

*UPDATE*
Realtek HD Audio build 7962 WHQL

Package version PG452

7962_PG452_Win10_TH_RS_Win8.1_Win8_Win7_WHQL

Thanks asturias7. The rate of these updates is ridiculous. I can only assume the changes are minor compatibility changes for MB OEMs.

Company line is the updates supposedly provide “minor improvements in sound quality”....
don't shoot the messenger, lol.

I wasn't shooting the messenger. The comment was about Realtek. Thanks for the info.

Try shortening the path by renaming the cab file to: Realtek.cab

You can also use this method which always works:

Extract the cab file to a folder. In device manager, under Sound, Video and Game Controls, Right Click on Realtek High Definition Audio, Select Update Driver Software and Browse to the extracted cab folder. The driver will install.

Hi,

I'm not surprised by that that's why I suggested expand.exe to extract the files.
There is a setup.exe inside the cab file too..

Cheers,

I know, was just passing on what was told to me. :)

Build 7962 was originally released to ASUS a few days after build 7960 was released.

I didn't know.
