For another system I bought a cheap USB DAC to 3.5mm dongle. It works, but I find the sound quality is not as pleasant as the ALC283 on my NUC which can use drivers. On my regular system there is...

By any chance do you guys know what Microsoft Films&TV app (Movies&TV) does with the sound exactly that makes it sound so much louder down-mixing from 6 to 2 channels from the other media players? It...

I've been using 9045 UAD for some time now. It's a good driver and I didn't try anything else since till now. So, I have now tried 9238 and well, I think 9045 was better.

Too many variables are...

It is strange to me how I can hear subtle differences between audio renderers (all to 3.5mm output) on my video player between DirectSound (shared mode, sits on top of wasapi), Wasapi Shared and...

Cliff, out of curiosity, how do you know that the hdmi input/output that you are comparing sound to is actually the ideal presentation? What if it is awful?

On my system, I do have the ability to...

HDA is optimal for Windows 7, but what are the benefits of running HDA on 10 over UAD? UAD seems to work fine on 10..

Sandyt, there are reasons why I use the browser sometimes, such as the fact I sometimes need to change region which I can't do with the app. Also, the app won't deliver dolby digital plus audio, only...

Guys, I want to borrow your ears for a listening test. It's related to how sound outputs with the uad driver. There is an extension for Netflix for New Edge in Windows 10 which will unlock the Dolby...

I have no idea about the non-analog outputs because I only use analog output, but there is nothing for him to send.. you can get the driver from MUC, unzip it and in the device manager you install it...

Probably nobody knows the answer to this, but did anyone ever figure out why exactly Realtek seemingly spits out a new driver every other day? One would think it would be a one and done deal if it's...

I have a NUC5i5RYK. Yeah they're the OEM release from Intel Download Realtek* High Definition Audio Driver for NUC5ixRY

After testing in Windows 7 and 10 and trying different driver version #s for...

Hi,

I discovered today that Intel changed over from the HDA version of the audio drivers for my PC to UAD.

I had been using the Microsoft driver on the Windows 10 partition instead because it...

Thanks, can you clarify what you mean by the signal meter and clipping?

Looking at the stats for nerds in YouTube for the Mandalorian Trailer I get Normalized 100% / 100% (content loudness 0.1dB)....

My PC only has headphone/mic 3.5mm port, not like the older PCs that had a separate port for line-out and headphone-out. My speakers were designed for line-level.

What is recommended here? Just...

Hi, Intel NUC5i5RYK, it uses the Realtek ALC283 codec.

In the Win10 device manager the device is named as: High Definition Audio Device
MS Provider 10.0.19041.264

Under driver details, it...

Set up a dual-boot to add Windows 10 2004 to go along with my daily driver of Windows 7. I haven't yet installed audio drivers into 2004 in part because I was watching to see if MS would install some...

Install 8821 in Win7

What I don't get is, why there are so many builds that need bug fixes or what not? Audio chips have been around for many many years. You'd think at this point they would have their codebase at the...

I figured it out. It's signed for Win10 only, I'm on 7 here. I installed it anyway, and it seems to work and I took a listen. I found the vocals are not as clear as with 8781.1

I then decided to...

Do you care about the fact that it isn't signed? I am not sure if I need to care.

ALC283 HDA versions here, I was on 8750 for the last while and it was pretty ok. Today I tried a handful of versions out.

I will say that I found the currently popular 8781 to have a "harder...

8750 HDA is fine on the ALC283 Windows 7. Seems to have reset volume levels quieter, I had to adjust the volume on the speakers, not specific to Windows because I booted into Linux to verify that it...

Thanks. I looked up this headset because I was curious. From what I can see, you have a fully digital signal delivery path. Seems to give you the choices of USB & optical. With a fully digital path,...

Out of curiosity, why don't you leave it at 67%? My output is 3.5mm to a powered set and I've left it at 67% windows for a long time. I did this because I thought that if it was higher it might...
