Can't install realtek drivers

[Matley07]

Hi, so i've got a really frustrating problem, 2 days ago i upgraded my motherboard, cpu and ram and now i can't get the realtek drivers to install or even show up in device manager.

the only way i can get sound is by hooking my pc up to the tv with the hdmi cable.

specs are:
gigabyte ab350n
amd ryzen 5 1600
amd r9 380
4gb ram

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

gotcha
My Side/Rear outputs were still outta whack between the 2 drivers though, which is why i mentioned such issues as being a possibility.

Any port can be set to whatever you want when using a desktop motherboard with Realtek hd. All via the Realtek audio manager. As its all software logic. I always just ensure everything is on the correct port based on labeling. Because you always want a analog mic on the Mic In and not Line In for example. As Mic In is the only port with any kind of Amp Boost tied to it.

having a similar issue rn , suddenly realtek disappeared , i tried installing it again , everytime i do and reboot , it doesn't install as if i didn't do anything , i ininstall it using DDU . i deleted evety driver i had to at least use the windows built in driver but no use . and my headset doesn't even show up anymore.

ddu is for gpu drivers, not audio

just grab the correct driver from the mobo mfg or oem sites
they often are custom for the board

windows generic driver works, but never for all of the boards specific features
some of those do not include the realtek control panel, that you need to get from the ms store

Its also been for cleaning Audio drivers for some time now.

A quick troubleshooting step would be to boot up a live linux usb like ubuntu and see if the on-board audio shows up, if not it might be fried (rare but happens) - if so a usb sound card might be a quick solution.

check in bios to make sure the onboard audio is enabled

if using gpus hdmi for sound, or anther device, then it will not use the onboard realtek sound card

[andreasaspenberg575]

some onboard sound cards requires that you manually install the drivers. you should be able to get them from the manufacturer`s website. just search for your motherboard. i found the drivers easily myself by doing that. on the gigabyte website, click on support. i would recommend using more ram however, as 4 gigabytes is barely enough for basic tasks.

The only Installation blockers possible are AV (even MS Defender) and WHQL signature check service (Software "Protection" Service).

I did a reset to my laptop and installed Win11 (went from an issue to another lol) and the sound system is fine now .
