what you guys got another video here for yet now this one was requested by Mike he said that he's
having trouble with his Realtek HD audio manager and he said it's either not installing or its
installed and it's not working or not not showing up in control panel or any of those places so if
you go to your control panel here and you're not seeing when you go into large icons here up the
top right hand side if you're not seeing Realtek here and it's missing which is this one here and
it's not opening up or anything like this then I'll show you some things that you can do to
try and resolve this issue it's a known issue with Windows 10 and it sometimes happens after
an update a major update or something like that although there are several reasons why it just
disappears and you can't seem to access it so the first thing you want to do is right-click on the
start band here and go to Device Manager and you can see inside here we have some options open to
us which is our sound which is where all your sound stuff should be now if you do see Realtek
HD definition audio inside here or some sort of Realtek inside here what you want to do is
right-click on this and you can try to update your driver know if that's still not working
what you want to do is come down to where it says properties okay so when you come in here you want
to look for the device is working properly and if it says that then that's a good sign then
from here you can go to your driver here and what you want to do is update your driver so go to here
and then this box will open up you want to go to browse my computer for driver software go into
here then let me pick from the list of available drivers for my computer inside here you will see
the realtek high-definition audio here and then click on next and this will then start to install
that on your system ok and give that a try if that doesn't work I'll show some other steps that you
can take it okay to rectify this issue so we're just gonna let that complete and I will be right
back okay that's done it's gonna want to restart your computer and to try and fix and resolve that
issue now also look here at the driver date and the driver version that's important also just to
make sure you got the latest one sometimes if the latest one is not working maybe roll back
a generation and try and get that one to work if it was working before so once to try and restart
here and you want to say yes here and restart your computer now once you've restarted your
computer what you want to do is come here to this link I will put the link in the video description
for you and you can download the actual real tech drivers from here and this is from the Microsoft
Update catalog if you go here and I've put the version up the top you can search for a version
up there if you wish but these are the versions here and you can download them you can see here
these are the very latest versions for Windows 10 full creators update and the latter servicing
drivers for that ok and you can see them here listed down here now also down the bottom here
you can see windows 10 and latter drivers down here as well which is hundred thirty five point
six megabytes so you want to download the ones that suit your computer you can see here there's
a list for anniversary update just in case you're still on the anniversary version of Windows 10 if
you are and you don't want to update to creators update you can then download that version and you
can see here they are they're pretty substantial in size so just download those and you can install
them and here you have your cab file which you've just downloaded and you can see it's
a compressed file inside there if you use 7-zip you can see when you open it up there's loads
of files inside here as you can see here INF files and you've got your files inside here okay and you
can also install them in another way I've made videos how to install CAD files if you want to
see I think I've made a video on that if I haven't done that let me know in a comment section below
and I'll make a video on how to install kept files so what you want to do here once that's
done if that doesn't work we have other options open so you've got your motherboard manufacturer
website now you can see the motherboard for this computer is the GA Z 270 gaming k3 on this one
here and you want to come to the website of your motherboard manufacturer if you don't know what
your motherboard is I've already made a video on how to find you'll make a motherboard number and
you can go to the website and then you want to go into the website here and look at support click
on that and it will then give you an option to choose your operating system on this case
it's Windows 10 and here you can see we have the Realtek HD audio driver this is the one you can
download it from any of these locations depending on where you are in the world and you can see the
version right here you may want to do it this way may be easier to install for you if you don't know
how to install CAD files now another way to get hold of the file is going to the realtek website
you can go to here and you can accept their terms and conditions as you can see click Next this will
take you to their download page here and you can now see it's offering you the driver only
for the Windows 10 here also Windows 8.1 8 and 7 and Vista 64-bit and 32-bit you need to find out
which version of Windows you are using and then you can download the version that you need now
obviously if you don't know how to do this there is videos i've made to show you how to determine
whoever you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit but pretty much nowadays most machines are further
64-bit so with that said once you've got this done you can install this and you can see when I click
on this one here it will start to download an executable file you see it's 252 megabytes in
size pretty hefty in some ways but just download that and install it now if you still don't have
it showing up inside your control panel what you can do is go to down here on I'll show you
where go into your file explorer go into your C Drive inside here which is your Program Files
once you're inside Program Files you want to look for real tech inside here go to audio HDA inside
here you will see all the drivers that have been installed on your system if that is the case and
you do see all these then you're good to go this is the actual files that will run your
actual Realtek HD audio manager so when you click on this you will see it will open up now generally
when you start the service you can see there's a service in here audio service make sure that's
running and you got that service running also this file here which is your Rev Cpl 64-bit once you
click on this this should then put this back into your control panel it's a known glitch and it will
fix it so these are your files you can click on these and this is your update as you can see here
this will update your Realtek and you also have your GUI here which is your grief to activate it
once you've done that you can access from here you can also send this to your desktop if you wish and
put this a shortcut of that on your desktop or pin it to your taskbar or once you've got these files
inside here you can even have this put back into your control panel and I've made videos to show
you how to add items to your control panel it's very simple and that's should hopefully resolve
your issue with the Realtek HD audio problem anyway I hope this one helps you my name is
