    The only way then, is to try the manufacturer's site again.
    And if nothing found, then maybe you could post a question to their support forum requesting help for the exact issue you experience.
    Your next alternative, which is extremely time consuming, is to get in here and start installing drivers, hoping to find the working one. Just look for drivers with size larger than 100MB, as the smaller ones are UAD drivers.
    I will just go with no driver, or should I say the one that gets installed by Microsoft before you put in the right driver. It works find and sounds good. MSI, the manufacturer of the motherboard, only posts the latest version and doesn't keep older versions.

    It was an older one than that one. I updated to that from my manufacturer's website, which caused no sound. I remember I had this issue, but I kept the old one around to revert to. Unfortunately, I must have removed the very old working driver installation from my computer.

    Well, how about that! I completely overlooked that! And what do you know, it works. Thank you very much! I wonder why that is the only Realtek driver that produces sound for me? Either way, good show!

    Try posting over at Laptop2GoVideo on the Realtek Thread , a couple of the guys over there like erp-ster7n, are a great help to Users finding the right drivers for laptops in particular, I quite often pick up the HDA drivers over there too.

    I understand, then to avoid those problems, it is better to use HDA FFO3 driver? Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for warm welcome Cliff
    Hmm.
    I have tried Sound BlasterX 720° with HDA drivers and unfortunately no luck. But with UAD driver Creative Sound BlasterX 720° works quite well. Still UWP infrastructure is still like on "Beta" stage.

    Why I prefer the UAD driver


    This is just my setup, so not for everyone).
    In my case the UAD drivers from ASUS ROG are much better than the HDA ones.
    They integrate better with the UWP Realtek Audio Console and SonicStudio from ROG.
    Also the sound better, probably because ROG also updates their SonicSuite very often, adjusting the defaults, and effects(like different headphones or sounds).

    Also the update experience is much better.
    With HDA, it was quite often I would get stuck in an uninstall loop if I let the new driver uninstall it, meaning after every reboot it would keep trying to uninstall the old drive that was uninstalled.
    I would then have to use Geek Uninstaller to nuke the old driver, then install the new one.

    With the UAD one, I have only had good experience(once I finally got it installed the first time)

    Also uninstalling the HDA ones resets all your EQ settings
    And there is no way to save them to reapply

    With UAD SonicSuite and Realtek console are separate UWP items and all my settings are there after a driver update.
    If for some reason, they are not, SonicStudio lets me reapply from a saved file

    A friend who's, also a sound and PC enthusiast, came over today to visit, and I was showing him my current setup for sound.
    I asked him if he had installed the 8648 drivers I'd sent him through Skype yet, and he said no.

    Well I was running the 8694 drivers, and he was impressed.
    That's when I asked if he installed 48.
    So I thought I would show him the difference and installed 8648.

    It blew his mind, and mine too, as I have just been updating along and not going back.

    Damn it, they are the best!
    And I'm sticking with them

    They are just perfectly balanced, and the bass has the most kick(kick drum) and punch(drop bass).
    The mids are perfect, and the highs?
    Well the highs are just crispier than; the early morning snow in your driveway, under foot, when the night was 20° below zero.
