• This package contains the driver for Realtek Audio. Audio driver is the software that helps your operating system to communicate with audio devices such as sound cards and speakers.

Realtek’s onboard sound card device drivers include an Audio Manager that is packaged with the installation of the Codec. The Audio manager gives control of many extra settings that are not in Windows 10 such as speaker configurations, Sound effects and Virtual Surround settings.

Realtek’s own support for the drivers has very little updates, in fact drivers for the Realtek audio drivers and audio manager haven’t been updated since July 2017, leaving us with version R2.82 in 2020. The R2.82 driver is still absolutely fine, however because it isn’t updated often by Realtek, Windows during an upgrade process with remove the driver. Windows 10 has been getting more stringent with things like security and driver signing which will disable drivers and even stop installation drivers opting to install Microsoft’s own generic drivers that don’t include the audio manager. These generic drivers are extremely basic and sometimes simply can’t operate the sound card at all.
