aw EdTittel I'm not sure what's going on at the win10.guru site but I'm recently getting 502 bad gateway errors there
HP is kinda slow in testing the v2004 May 2020 Update on older HP systems
plus the 2004 update in its current state is buggy and has a lot of issues that Microsoft has to fix
I highly recommend staying with 1903 or 1909 and wait a few more months until MS releases a more stable version of 2004
I have a 4.1 PC audio setup (Logitech-560) and cannot get the rear speakers to play (if I put the black plug into the green sound card jack, the rears play), as a minimum play whats on the front speakers, and second as a 4 channel setup. Been a gamer for a long time (3+ decades), built all my systems, was a tech for 15 years repairing motherboards and all peripherals to component level. I stopped gaming 5 years ago and just started a couple months ago, i really prefer sound blaster EAX3.0 for important sound positioning, but seems the games I started playing does not have this option. I have a SB X-fi pcie and the ALC892 onboard sound on my X99-TF MB and neither can be set to play the rears mimicking the fronts (even with speaker fill=ON) or 4ch sound. To be fair, the X-fi is old and creative barely supports this card in win10. Never liked realtek in the past for the lack of position information compared to the X-fi in the past.
I bought the Xeon E5-2678v3 (12c/24t) cpu - 32GB - X99-TF MB for $252, its been a great system paired with rx580 video card and very hard to beat the bang for buck (similar to multi thread preformance of i7-9700). I ran this system for a month trying to get the realtek working, before I added the X-fi card.
Currently I have realtek 6.0.8934.1 driver and the X-fi 6.0.240.26 drivers.
I aM guessing I need the realtek audio control panel to do what i am looking for, but have serious concerns loading this app with very low reviews https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/realtek-audio-control/9p2b8mcsvpln?ocid=AID2000142_aff_7593_1333562&tduid=(ir__3d9ccprhegkftgsnkk0sohzz0e2xlfj30oyiktdu00) (7593)(1333562)()()&irgwc=1&irclickid=_3d9ccprhegkftgsnkk0sohzz0e2xlfj30oyiktdu00&activetab=pivot:re viewstab
Is this the correct driver or am I looking in the wrong place or suggestions?
Any help is appreciated!

HP has not updated the Realtek UAD driver for my bro's newly refurbished HP Spectre x360 15-df1033dx laptop which is still at 8720. I've prevented the Win10 Home OS (still at 1909 and not gonna upgrade to 2004 until either late July or mid-August) from automatically downloading & installing updates and using wushowhide.diagcab tool to hide/block all the updates, including whatever driver updates the Win10 may attempt to install.
I'll keep the Win10 OS on my bro's HP laptop at 1909 a while longer until MS releases a new set of 2004 ISOs with either the July 2020 or Aug. 2020 updates integrated and by then I'll upgrade.
first we need to know the hardware device ID number of the Realtek High Definition Audio device on your Huananzhi X99 board, Ozzy33.
follow the directions on this site on getting the hardware ID number of a device:
How to Find Hardware ID: 9 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow
If the v6.0.8934.1 audio driver is in standard (non-DCH or non-UAD) format, then it does not qualify for using the Realtek Audio Console app from the MS store and will not install nor run. only reason there were a bunch bad reviews of it there is because most of those people don't have the proper audio drivers in the correct format installed. only a properly installed Realtek audio driver in UAD format (and NOT the one found on Realtek's web site which is obviously in the older HDA format) will be able to utilize the Realtek Audio Console app from the MS store.
in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), expand the Sound, video and game controllers section, double-click on the Realtek audio device to view its Properties, click on the Driver tab and click on the Driver Details button. if there are lots of driver files listed, then I know it's the standard HDA (or non-UAD) driver. if only a few driver files are listed, then it could be a UAD driver.
edit - I'm afraid that HWID "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_10EC0892" does not qualify for using the newer UAD drivers because that specific ID is not listed in any of the INF files of the UAD drivers, Ozzy33. only standard HDA (nonUAD) FFxx drivers (like the original Realtek HDA driver from the Huananzhi web site which appears to be an old HDA version from early 2015) and using the generic HDXRT.inf file can officially support the Realtek audio device on the Huananzhi X99 board (btw - X99 chipsets are several years old)
edit2 - open Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) and click on the Details tab there:
a Reatlek HDA (nonUAD) driver has either RAVCpl64.exe, RtkAudioService64.exe or RtkNGUI64.exe loaded at startup.
a Realtek UAD driver has the RtkAudUService64.exe file loaded at startup.
FYI - RAVCpl64.exe or RtkNGUI64.exe in HDA FFxx drivers runs the Realtek HD Audio Manager control panel app bundled with the HDA drivers.
and Realtek Audio Console is a separate app that is a "metro UI" styled version of the Realtek audio manager program but used only with UAD drivers
Thanks for the reply!
This is one reason i never liked realtek, the driver install was a mess and looks to have only gotten worse:
The realtek websight has 3 year old drivers
I have found three newer versions of the driver (two in MS and another forum), but turns out they are the HDA drivers.
Looks like a boat load of drivers are installed, so i have the wrong one, I got this from tenforums here"https://www.tenforums.com/sound-audio/135259-latest-realtek-hd-audio-driver-version-2-a-222.htmlin Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), expand the Sound, video and game controllers section, double-click on the Realtek audio device to view its Properties, click on the Driver tab and click on the Driver Details button. if there are lots of driver files listed, then I know it's the standard HDA (or non-UAD) driver. if only a few driver files are listed, then it could be a UAD driver.

Does the audio console give any more features or is it just a face-lift for the same options in HD audio manager?FYI - RAVCpl64.exe or RtkNGUI64.exe in HDA FFxx drivers runs the Realtek HD Audio Manager control panel app bundled with the HDA drivers.
and Realtek Audio Console is a separate app that is a "metro UI" styled version of the Realtek audio manager program but used only with UAD drivers
Thanks again.
Same features, NOT a face-lift.
The basic building blocks (the c++ libraries) are different, less security vulnerabilities in the new Realtek audio console.
8855 HDA had a security vulnerability, 8855 UAD didn't.
The migration to DCH drivers (which is the formal name Microsoft uses) is a strictly security exercise mandated by Microsoft.
Thanks for the responses everybody and the link.
With realtek being the number one onboard sound solution, whats the reason the drivers are such a mess
Now I need to shop for a sound card thats going to do what I want (hoping for $80 or less, but thats not a showstopper), suggestions or links? TIA!
