Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [2]

Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.8757.1 (FF00 = Generic) WHQL now available for download.

" 8751 is better in my opinion "................do you have a link to 8751 UAD Nahimic .............??!

8757 UAD worked Perfectly fine on my systems!
its a insane difference in sound between UAD / HDA or it placebo?

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?)

I'm really not hearing any difference in 8648 running in 1809 or 1903. But I may give Realtek HD 8703.1 a try anyway.

larc919 - Did you end up trying 8703, how do they compare to 8648?

well Damon8, you could install & use FF00 drivers but the downside of doing that is that the X-Fi MB3 software will not recognize your Realtek audio device because the mbapo232.dll & mbapo264.dll files are missing and proper Creative registry entries are not there.

In the following section of the HDXMB3H.inf file:

the entries highlighted in bold letters are only included in FF10 drivers and are left out in other FFxx driver versions like FF00, FF01 & so on.

Yes, I did and am not hearing much difference, if any. OTOH, I'm not detecting that 8703 is running any better on 19H1 than 8648 did.
