Vista - Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

I have always found it best that even if there is a newer version out, if the one you have works and you are happy with it then don't change it. Always read the data file that describes what has been updated so you can see if you want it or not. Please always do a restore before installing a new driver. It is a good practice and will be a headache saver for sure at some point.

New Realtek HD Audio 2.19 driver version release 3/18/2009. See first post for more details.

Hi Everyone,

I just wonder, is it possible to install Realtek goodies on my other machine the M6850FX? Looks like I have SigmaTel driver over there. There is lack of any audio manager. Or maybe, I'm missing something.

Frankly, I can't understand why one machine has Realtek HD Audio Manager and
the other hasn't. Could you explain this? Thank you so much in advance.

Hello Martee,

It depends on what brand audio chip your motherboard manufacturer decided to use on the motherboard.

You can get the latest drivers for the computer in your specs below though.

Gateway Support Drivers & Downloads

Hello Brink,

Thank you Brink for fast replay to my question. I'm really glad.

Looks like PM965 chipset from Intel, but I can't find any information
about audio, so probably my only choice is the SigmaTel driver. I guess,
that I have got the newest audio driver because it was updated via
Windows update, but still there is no way to adjust audio, just Windows
default settings, only. I will have to live with it.
Thanks once more.

Cheers...

Well, for your Gateway P-7811FX Laptop, it shows this as the audio driver to use.

Conexant Audio Driver Version: 4.57.0.50

Hello Brink,


Thank you so much for the Conexant driver. It looks like the newest one from
the current driver I have in lappy. I will try to install it little later.

By the way, I want to thank you for the tutorial...how to make the Vista bootable
flash drive. I just finished it and will try to check if it is working. Also I made the
folder with drivers and applications. The stick is 8GB gib so there is plenty of space, there.

Will let you know in a moment is it working or not. If not, that's my fault for sure.

Once more thanks a lot.

Yeeeeeeaaaaaah...it's working,

it's working,

it's working, yeah, thank you, thank you..




I forgot to thank you....Rep +

You're welcome Martee. I'm happy to hear that it is working now.

Hi everyone,

I just reinstalled my Realtek HD Driver (I mean, I just updated it) and for some reason the levels make no sense anymore (this actually happened the last time I updated, I'm not sure if it was the same version or not because I update from the Toshiba site). Anyway, my speakers are really loud despite being on a low level (16). Of course I can just lower the volume of the programs I use, but that's just a pain. I did actually fix it last time but I can't for the life of me figure out what it was that I did. Also the sound is distorting, despite being on a low level, if that makes sense. I have it right down so it's a "listenable" volume...but still it distorts as though it were very loud.

The version I updated to (according to my device manager) is 6.0.1.5406 (geez was that from 2007??). Guess all I did was reinstall...

Anyway, I'm on a Toshiba laptop satellite A200 with Vista Home Basic. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I also apologise if this problem has been stated by someone else, I really did scour Google along with a good chunk of this thread).
