Thanks man ! Will wait for it ...............

send me a personal message [PM]. I have 8751 uad nahimic posted privately and I will give the link only thru a PM.

meanwhile, I'll try out 8757 FF00 HDA on some of my family's computers (my bro's Sony laptop & my dad's Toshiba C55Dt laptop which both have 8742). But I'll also try out 8757 UAD Gigabyte version on my custom built PC with the Gigabyte board + Nahimic 3 uwp app [current Nahimic partners listed here - ASUS, MSI & Gigabyte].

One word to describe how 8757 sounds on my system and with my setup: Awful.
Everything is muffled up. Rolled back to 8750 which was just fine for me.

One question, these drivers support 5.1 mixing? AKA Speakers fill

Does anyone have Unofficial Realtek UAD Generic 6.0.8734.1 whit non Custom installer

" Rolled back to 8750 which was just fine "..................yes, 8751 even much better !

i like 8757 better than 8750! best sorround sound ever

Hi everyone,

I have an Acer laptop with Realtek ALC283 chip. Officially, the latest driver from Acer's website is 7553 (from 2015). Now I have installed the generic HDA 8750 driver from alanfox2000's github releases and it has seemingly installed fine (driver version is displayed 8750 in both the device manager and Realtek's control panel). Sound etc. is also fine. I guess my question is, should I even bother installing new drivers on this 5 year old laptop? I just saw 8757 released. Does upgrading at this point gives any noticeable difference in audio quality? Or will there be no difference because no changes are being shipped for this old chip?

Note that I'm only able to install the generic FF00 drivers, not any other ones.

Thanks.

For me it's not about audio quality, it's about bug fixes.

Also Microsoft has prevented some computers from getting 1903 updates because of certain old drivers --- whether they be old intel graphics drivers, QUALCOMM Bluetooth driver, realtek sd card driver...

So I ended up installing the 8648 HDA FF10 drivers first, as a good starting point.. they sound good! Probably bit better overall than what it was. Not sure if it's worth upgrading to 8703? (Latest FF10 driver and since it's certified for 1903/19H1). Or am I able to install 8750 HDA FF00 drivers and does that just not let me use the Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 software? (which I can probably live without) (Am I able to install FF00 drivers or am I Iimited to just FF10 drivers?)

@Damon8, a follow-up - I was able to obtain this 8756 HDA "test" driver from Realtek's secret ftp site a few days ago that has many different integration files included (no "FFxx" designation - feels like a full PG473 pack with Conexant, Fortemedia, Intel SST apo, Nahimic, Maxxaudio and Creative integration files similar to the old R2.82 pack). since this 8756 driver is signed by Realtek themselves and not by MS, it's technically non-whql - a prompt will be displayed to install the realtek audio device software [click on the Install button when prompted to install 8756 HDA]. I'm using the 8756 HDA test driver on a relative's old Dell Inspiron 580 machine with Creative X-FI MB2 and with Realtek sound effect EQ & environment options available in the Realtek HD Audio manager control panel (current OS on there is Windows 7 but will be upgraded to Windows 10 later this year).

But unless RealTek actually were to post an advertised bugfix driver, you never would know about it being a bugfix driver.

yup, he makes a very good point.

sometimes Realtek releases customized audio drivers to certain OEMs like Dell, Lenovo & MSI and they're the ones that mention the bugfixes
