Vista - Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

Sorry Sean
The manager is installed however since I am using SPDIF the options such as speaker choice are not available and only appear if a device is pluged in. I do have digital output and line in tabs though which are all I need. All I had to do was go into sound in control panel and set DTS and frequency options.

Wild,

Glad to hear you got it resolved. Thank you for the feedback on how you did it.

Hi there
Ive been reading for a while on different sound issues but still cant resolve mine. My problem is similar to the first guy in this thread. I have a "quadraphonic" speakers setup but can only hear the front left/right. I have the latest realtek drivers. I have a brand new vista ultimate installation. My rear speakers ARE plugged in the "Rear speaker out". Also, its set to quadraphonic configuration and speakers are checked. If i check Speaker Fill, I do hear sound from my rear speakers but its very very very poor with no bass. Btw, the sound and everythings fine if I do the auto surround sound test thing. It just wont work in windows media player, games, etc
I dunno what to do anymore =/
Thanks

Thanks a lot!

Attached is a picture of the R1.85 driver installed. You should see this after the install on your Vista box. To see this:

Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Manage Audio Devices

Click on Speakers (or whichever one appears enabled and in-use). This should take you to the speakers property screen. Hit Properties (button) and click on the Driver tab.

Hi i just installed this update and am having troubles with running the realtek program and am also not able to use camtasia screen capture software sound recording other apps are also suffering just need some help please.

Hi Maccaro,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Did you install the drivers twice?

You may need to adjust the settings in the Camtasia Screen Capture and other programs again to.

Shawn

nah im fairly sure i only installed it once but if i did install it twice how would i go about fixing it?

Maccaro,

That's the thing. You will need to install it twice. Once to remove the old audio driver, then twice to install the new one. You will need to restart the computer between each install. Check in Device Manager to make sure that you have the version 6.0.1.5548 listed under the Driver tab for the audio device.

I just wanted to let you know Shawn that I have installed this latest driver three times now and each time it has installed everything on the first run, and running it a second time does nothing. This may be just a coincidence because the only driver existing was the Vista default driver but I distinctly remember the 2nd install being absent from the install process on this driver.

I will verify this later...
