I figured it out. It's signed for Win10 only, I'm on 7 here. I installed it anyway, and it seems to work and I took a listen. I found the vocals are not as clear as with 8781.1

I then decided to try this pal1000 version. It didn't work at all. Using the setup.cmd doesn't change the MS driver out for the new one. Stuffing the official installer into the folder and trying that one instead says it cannot do it. I am speculating that it must be a release meant only for W10 systems.

My understanding is that UAD does not support Windows 7 - because you do not have a way to (easily) run UWP apps, IIRC.

I stayed with the famous for it's performance 8648. Does anyone know if 8787 is better?
Or which driver is the best until now.
Thank you!

Hi, guys! I'm trying to set up my 5.1 speakers for gaming and having hard time with bad Realtek software. I've got Realtek ALC1220 on Asrock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard. The problem is I have 5 exact same speakers, but for some reason my side speakers give much quieter sound. I've tried compensating in Realtek Audio Console (screenshot attached), but I don't hear any difference at all. Even the software shows speakers as smaller (wtf?), while they are the same. How can I make my speakers play sound at the same level?

8787 (hda, over 8781)...

'87 seems good, but now the vocals sound back to "normal" to me, compared to '81's more upfront vocals.

To install a Realtek HDA driver from a .cab file without setup.exe have a read of this post.

Install CAB file in Windows 10

note to Brink: generic 8746.1 HDA driver w/ Maxxaudio integration available on MUC (153.0Mb cab X64 download)

Edit: btw folks - both 8787 HDA & UAD drivers are WHQL for Win10 only; 8787 FF00 HDA only WHQL certified for Win10 (not whql for Win7/8.x)

also staying with 8773 HDA on my HP computer since Realtek did release a new FF04 HDA version of 8773 few weeks after 8773 FF00 HDA was released.

pal1000's unofficial Realtek UAD drivers require minimum Win10 x64 build 15063 (v1703/RS2) only, Sunspark.
UAD drivers are also not compatible with pre-RS2 Win10 versions like v1507/RTM to v1607.
you can only use traditional HDA drivers under Win7/8.x & pre-v1703 Win10 releases.

In the HDXRT.inf file of the generic 8787.1 UAD driver, this mentions the following section:
---
[Manufacturer]
%MfgName% = AzaliaManufacturerID, NTamd64.10.0...15063
---
NTamd64.10.0...15063 = Win10 build 15063 or greater

and yes 8787.1 HDA is only WHQL for Win10, unless Realtek decides to quietly release an updated 8787.1 FF00 HDA driver package that adds Win7 WHQL compatibility (I will have to find out from alanfox2000 about that)

about the 8746.1 HDA driver on MUC, Brink - it functions like the FF06 version
