Okay, I'm about to lose it.

I installed the HD Realtek Driver (rebooted) and went to set it as Default, but can't find it. It's definitely installed... see...

So, I went to CP > Sounds > Recording .. and made sure to look for Hidden Devices.. so I could set it as Default.

Not there!

Hi Christina and welcome to Vista Forums :party:

What are the specs of your system? Are you sure that it uses Realtek drivers? Judging from your screenshot, I would say not. It looks as though your audio device is IDT (Integrated Device Technology). You can only obtain these drivers from the motherboard manufacturer.

ChristinaE:

I don't know on the Realtek/IDT question. I think you're looking for Device
Manager, then expand Sound,video and game controllers, right-click the Audio
and choose Properties.

Control Panel > Device Manager.

ChristinaE:

Your initial post shows you following this trail, CP > Sounds > Recording,
which takes you to the second screenshot on my PC, too.

CP > Device Manager

Edit: CP > Classic View (left pane, top ) > Device Manager

Which eventually goes to:
