Hello you all. I'd like to ask you a question. I have an old ASUS motheboard, a P5Q-EM which uses ALC1200 as Realtek audio interface. Can I install UAD drivers? I know I won't have any working Realtek control panel, but at least these would fix the inputs (microphones, line in, stereo mix, cd ...) and outputs (front headphones ...) ?
Or it would be better to install the old 2.82 or 2.81 (which by the way are the only ones that make the realtek panel work.)
Thanks in advance!!
Pretty sure UAD wont work but I have an older ALC889 on a HDA driver 6.0.8934.1 pumping 7.1 with all the inputs and effects. I have yet to find any newer drivers with all the bells and whistles.
@erpster4: the 9045 didn't work on my Extreme7+/Z170 rig. I did, however, find a 9079 version at Station Drivers that worked quite nicely. Even updated the Realtek Hardware Support Application under Software Components (along with the more typical Realtek Asio component, Realtek Audio Effects component, and Realtek Universal Audio Service) as well as the obligatory Realtek(R) Audio driver. Good stuff. See my tale of woe in recovering from unwanted 9045 side effects at Restore Point Failure Forces Strategy Change.
Best wishes and happy New Year.

All you have done is save 10 seconds of your time by downloading from an unofficial source like station-drivers.com.
After you see station-drivers.com has an asrock realtek driver, it literally only takes you 10 seconds to do a google search for asrock drivers. The first google result has link to the asrock's latest driver update page --- which contains the official asrock 9079 driver.

Somehow saving that 10 seconds is worth it for you to download your drivers from an unofficial source.
@Less It was a 169 MB zip I found a while back on GitHub (Realtek_HDA_Driver_6.0.8934.1.7z) you should be able to google it. I also had success with some earlier versions and I can only verify this driver works for me on an ASUS P6X58D with a ALC889 Codec.
According to erpster4 a few posts back you can download the newer cab files on MUC, but I have not tried them yet. It's pretty much a good rule with older boards and codecs if it works just leave it alone. I recommend when you get it like you want it back it up and experiment with newer drivers.
Really thanks Hemimax! I've installed 6.0.8934.1 from MUC, 149 mb package, it works really well. I was afraid to install a too much new version because of the "panel don't open" bug, and sorry for my (maybe stupid) questions, but after this 3-4 years (since i've installing Win10 first time), automatic update strangely don't load anything but standard MS driver for my alc1200, and i found myself a little in trouble with this new approachings on Realtek drivers. ;-)
