Hi. I currently have Nvidia audio driver + Microsoft ones only. Is there any benefit to installing this software?
Hey everyone,
I followed the guide on installing the UAD version of Realtek's drivers. I installed them successfully, however when I went to the Microsoft Store to download the Realtek Audio Control software I received an error. It states that it can't install this program - 0x803FB005.
Tried downloading a few times to no avail, anyone know of a fix? I just installed Windows 10 1809 via a fresh .iso from Microsoft's own website.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might help!
P.S.
I want to mention that other apps from the Microsoft Store install perfectly fine. I just tested with a few. The Realtek one appears to be the culprit. Also, the Review section for the app is filled with comments outlining my experience.

Yup, ended up resolving it by doing the following:
1- Uninstall all Realtek Audio drivers until it shows as High Definition Audio driver on device manager.
2- Manually install realtek_uad_8591 through device manager.
3- Reboot twice.
4- Install Realtek Console Windows app
Get Realtek Audio Control - Microsoft Store
That managed to get me the EQ and all the other settings through the Realtek app finally.
The only issue that I'm having right now is that Forza Horizon 4 seems to ignore the custom EQ that I set, for some reason it disables all enhancements but maybe that's something to do with Windows 10 18xx updates because on 1709 it was not happening.
Thanks @DooGie! My goal is to inform. It is most emphatically NOT to persuade folks to do an "out with the old, in with the new" maneuver. I'm a firm believer in telling people about their options, and then letting them decide which one(s) are best for them. Glad you took things in the spirit in which I intended them. Happy New Year, too!

Is anyone able to answer my question, please? Here it is again:
