Realtek HD Audio Driver Version old post

Realtek HD Audio v6.0.1.8059 (64-bit) has just been released:
Microsoft Update Catalog

Thank you. First post updated. :)

I did my very last Realtek update 2 weeks ago(got the driver for my mobo at MSI).
On Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 8.1 Update, and now 10, I have at least once got stuck in a uninstall loop.
They have a really sloppy uninstaller/installer.
Even when I uninstall it my self, delete, any known folder, and do a tour in Regedit, it still will try to uninstall first, reboot, try to uninstall again, reboot, on & on.

The need a simple installer, that's it. I have never, ever had a uninstall loop from any other driver, except from those sloppy coders at Realtek

Note: I finally was able to install and escape the loop, but shutting down my PC, turning the power switch off(some might need to unplug the PC, and doing a power cycle(also called a "proper power reset), by pusing the start button on the front, to drain every last bit of juice from the PC.

When doing a clean install of Realtek drivers I uninstall them using Revo and don't let it restart until Revo cleaned up all tails.

I doo the same with Geek Uninstaller.
Still this should not be happening at all, it is sloppy coding, plus I doubt any more newer drivers will offer me anything I need, these work just fine for my use.

I've just learned from the station drivers forum that there was a v8053 driver available from Gigabyte (for GA-Z270MX Gaming 5 rev 1.0 motherboard) that was released on Feb. 10, 2017. Driver date of 8053 is 1/25/2017. the package contains not only the drivers but also asio drivers and is about 227Mb in size.

by the way, MSI has a v8034 driver with Nahimic audio enhancement software included. MSI recommends using realtek audio drivers only from MSI, not from other sources or manufacturers as MSI packages special config files (and certain audio enhancement applications) along with the realtek audio drivers.

I always just use the OEM drivers, but thanks for giving me a real good reason @erpster4 :)

Just downloaded and installed them although my has Alc889, nothing different than ordinary 8053. Going to download that on from MSI.
P.S.
MSI drivers didn't do any better for me either but they are 8034.
