Determine the HDA Realtek driver needed for your Audio

The HWID "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0225&SUBSYS_10280884&REV_1000" is listed in the HDXMA7.inf file of the Realtek HDA (non-UAD) driver and the HDXDELLCSMB2018.inf file of a Realtek UAD driver, mik07.

your Dell Inspiron machine can use either HDA or UAD driver. for HDA drivers you have at least 2 choices.

v6.0.8895.1 FF06 HDA A16 customized non-generic from Dell (has HDXMA7.inf file + Maxxaudio application software)
v6.0.8918.1 FF06 HDA from FMWorld.net (includes generic HDXRT.inf file but should install the Maxxaudio integration files)



the 8945 UAD driver is listed for recent Gigabyte boards only, carlcapone (but the 8945 UAD driver should work for older boards provided the HWIDs in older boards are listed in the UAD driver - new Gigabyte mobos like B550M AORUS ELITE 1.0, Z490 AORUS ELITE AC 1.0, H410M S2 1.0 - these are some of the new motherboards made in 2020 that have the 8945 driver listed)

a reminder carlcapone that you need to first uninstall the HDA driver completely and then install the UAD driver (and of course reboot between uninstalling or installing drivers). as for Realtek Audio Console not working on your Gigabyte board, ask either EdTittel (send him a PM) or MoKiChU. it's working on mine usually after a reboot

Thank you. I'll try to ask them. Hopefully I get a response .

P.S I did a clean install of everything realtek wise. Used DDU to remove the drivers and Driver explorer to double check any remnants.

Привет! Hi!

win 10 2004 x64
alc269

I had an 6.0.8881.1 (alanfox) FF00 HDA driver, but I lost it after reinstalling the OS.
Perfectly balanced sound.

6.0.8924.1 (ms update catalog) FF00 HDA
dirty and weak, I don't like

What to choose? alanfox is gone

INF needed for installation: hdxsf3.inf
The device HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0269&SUBSYS_1043107C was found in the file:
6.0.8967.1 FF03 from A-Volute/Nahimic
6.0.8934.1 FF01 from Microsoft Update Catalog
or?

TenForums community the most helpful. I am very glad that I can read this forum
Sorry for my English. Thanks!

Hi,

If you are looking only for v6.0.8881.1 and nothing else, here it is :

Realtek Audio Drivers (HDA - FF00) v6.0.8881.1 WHQL : Link

Is this https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...x?q=6.0.8881.1 and your link not the same?

I would like the same sound but a newer driver

true they're not the same, alexi.

the link to the 8881 HDA FF00 driver MoKiChU mentioned has the drivers + setup.exe installer
the 8881 driver from MS Update Catalog is a cab file with no setup installer - you have to manually install that one thru Device Manager (devmgmt.msc)

edit - you can also try 6.0.8907.1 HDA FF00 X64 from MUC (look for 146.6Mb cab package or get it directly from here; the 149.3Mb cab package is FF01 version)


edit2 - also if you want to contact alanfox, try here or even here

Thanks I will try it
I have an old Asus P6X58D Premium. I just figured I would have to upgrade the sound hardware or wait until someone mods the Realtek driver.

why do you need a modded Realtek driver, Hemimax?
for Win10 20H1 & 20H2 releases, you need at least 8924 or higher HDA FFxx version as those are fully compatible with 20Hx versions

edit - here's the full 8924 HDA FF00 & FF01 package in case the 8967 HDA version does not suit your needs

my recent HDA FFxx driver recap
latest generic FF00 version is 8924
latest generic FF01 version is 8934
latest generic FF03 version is 8967
latest generic FF04 version is 8940
latest generic FF06 version is 8821, although there's an 8918 FF06 version but that one is partially generic
latest generic FF0C version is 8911
