Vista - Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

I tried setting that in the realtek audio management screen and it did not result in it picking up anything more then stereo.

Any other ideas?

contacting the maker of you're computer if it's HP Dell Compac ASUS what they Install is a Low grade default sound card uselly in the Mother Board if you're not happy with the sound card and the setting the updates uselly work but in vistas case people are haveing a lot of problem Solution is getting a PCI or Pci e sound card creative lab has a few good one I like My XFI Gammer card there's another guy here who has it as well my friend used for war of war craft and likes it
he's tryed a few other sound cards other people have recommend here and they crapped out Ventrilo he kept on resetting his USB Mic and thats no Good wher you're a raid Team leader and TechSupport person where you're voice comes though a lot better then trying to type it to keep up with other chatters and Players for the Price Of the Creative Blaster XFi Gammer and it's Demo CD you can't go wrong when a lot of Online gammers use thease higer more advanced sound do not know how to propperly set them up reson why i like creative lab sound card the set ups easy and I can Minipulate it to work with Vista and By Pass all Vistas Protocals and setups vista wan'ts yea have or you're gonna drive you're self nuts in trying to figoure thease thing's out .
from personal speaking i had a lot of problems configou'reing and mastering Vista by the time I figour're how to by pass a lot of it's fetres Vista works the way I wan't it to not according to the people who manifacturned it cause there is a lot a flaws in the Origonal version I have Sp1 installed and haven't gotten any poblems yet but a lot of Invalid paths left behind tha wern't cleaned up and that might lead to system crashes and system failours now this should be told so people will understand it really doesn't take a brainiac to figoure out there's something wrong with you're computer one day it works fine and next it craps out .

but Investing in a PCi Or if you're system has a PCi e slot then even better. and it's easy to install the more you're learn about you're computer the better trying to have some else always fix it is not always the case other people love to get there hands on other peoples computers and start screwing it up so better yet alway's a good thing to keep on top of i know went a bit off topic here but it's accurit and to the point

um ok that giant run on post aside, I built the computer, and am very comfortable with the hardware software etc.

This is just an odd problem where in vista 32 bit with the same driver everything worked fine when running a 5.1 source out through s/pdif and now it stays in stereo mode even when running a 5.1 source.

It is a common problem if you bounce around and read various sites and thats what we are looking to resolve, not to run out to buy another card because we cannot figure this odd situation out...

Got it working, had to get Cyberlink PowerDvd 7 and turn on s/pdif and everything was great, apparantly its windvd 8 under vista x64 that couldnt handle it.

Glad I didn't run out and buy another soundcard

Hi,

My analog speaker and microphone are no longer available in realtek HD audio manager (think it was after a windows update). I have downloaded all the latest drivers/patches - both windows, bios and realtek, deleted driver, removed device, reinstalled and so on, but in the realtek HD audio manager I can only see the digital in- and output.

Could you please give me som ideas to get this fixed.

Thanks

I had the same problem if you have an HP computer go into the HP PC Help & Tool and reinstall the driver just the setting for the driver cause if you don't you might re-install restore the whole computer right back to factory setting's/

it's right there in the manual i had to call hp for this the New driver wipes out all the HD drivers there nothing wrong with the drivers that came with the computer Plus
if he /she uses the Green stereo out to an External source by going through an an amp through the stereo it will light up plus keep the setting's to 5.1 sourround setting's or in my case it came with 7.1 souround sound setting i posted a message on this already it's like the vista driver for creative lab is crap sorry guys i have tryed them all gonna stick with the drivers that came with the sound card or th e computer for some reason the taken all the feature out we need and it sounds like tinny cheap speakers.

to prove a point I down Load a song Paul Parker Desire.mp3 it's a male synthasizer Band from the 80"s yyou hear what I'm hearing if yea have a good Quality stereo.

I'm checking this out myself. Not having any problems with the 1.80 release, but I'm keeping an eye on mfpmp.exe's average cpu load when playing non-DRM'ed mp3's. I'm at 5% now and I'd like to know if newer versions are improving rendering efficiency in Vista.

I called HP here in Canada Like I said if you're computer from HPS a few months old stick with the driver that came with it cause the min you install this New 1.87 Driver it wipes out the Realtech driver and all the feature you're restore has suggestion please don't down load it i had to take it off and put the mine back from the back on the hard drive HP has already created for us it's right there in HP PC Help & Tool Guys if you have problem's going through the Installation i can help you i will post the set up here step by step to bring you're Audio back no point in downloading the new 1.87 driver its crap take it from experience here you guys are waisting you're time trying it dosn't work.


its how you go through the set up you have to tweak the realtech driver and setting's in order for it to work it's better to play around and do a propper set up for the driver then screw trying to find a new driver when the Origonal works fine.


and I not the Only that readys thease late at night hehehhe cause i read all as much as i can then i go try some stuff listed here if i can't find the answer from the manifacture or microsoft web site but most of this i know by heart so know where I'm comming from in thease sittuations.



please Make Me an Adnin Tech here cause I do know what I'm talking about Played with computer before some of you's where born yes i'm that Old lol

One nice improvement between 1.8 and 1.87a is that my ALC889A now shows up in the realtek software as such. With 1.8 it always thought it was a 885. Very strange, but seems to be fixed now.

I have great sound and no problems with the uninstall and installation of this driver. Even after removing the old driver, I didn't lose any of my settings; everything was setup just the way I like it. I recommend this update. I'll look into cpu loading during audio rendering tomorrow.

Thanks for the notice Brink, it's already made my computer a little better.
