Re: New Realtek HD audio driver update

**Dwarf** · 27 Dec 2008

I have finally managed to get through to the download page on the Realtek website, and am currently downloading the current driver.

This is the current transfer rate from Realtek. Pretty diabolical, don't you think? Particularly when you compare the rate to my download speed, shown in the image below (test performed by MySpeed PC). This test was performed whilst the file was downloading.

Footnote: As I submit this thread, it has only completed 33% of the download.

Additional footnote: I have forwarded the details from this post to the Webmaster at Realtek. Will be interesting to see what the reply will be.

Hi Brian,

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I will reply and post back if and when I hear back from them. It could be a long wait, though.

P.S. The download is still continuing, now currently at 86% (at the original time of submitting this post).

Footnote: The download has now finished. Here is the dialogue box:

this didnt work for me... i formated my pc a couple of days ago, installed the original realtek drivers, (i got 4 speakers) did quad, speaker fill.. etc.. i cant get stereo sound from the rear (mp3's) the rear does work.. cuz i can do the testing. im downloading the newest drivers from realtek (2.13) to try them.
using winamp and PC DJ (the only things i care about having on all 4 speakers)
so, i tried also the winamp sorround thing in the playback section of its preferences... i can get some sound in the rear.. but barely

R2.13= same problem since R2.08: front panel output doesn't work!

**ferjero989** · 31 Dec 2008

my front panel works perfectly, try checking "disable front panel detection". old cases without hd front panel wont be able to detect the headphones.

I tried it and it does'nt change nothing. My case has the hd audio/azalia intel connector for the MB, and before the driver r2.08 it works perfectly.. I must use R2.07 version and Realtek didn't answer my mails!
