Realtek High Definition Audio Driver is the official release from Realtek, bringing together the driver files needed to activate the audio hardware on your computer. Keeping this driver up-to-date means enjoying the maximum capabilities of the integrated hardware. However, you may need to consult the motherboard’s instructions for the original software on your audio product, as that may include further customization settings than the standard one presented here.
The installation procedure is simple, but a system restart may be required to make the hardware work properly.
