Realtek has made available a new version of its HD Audio package, namely 6.0.1.7917, which maintains compatibility with Microsoft’s Windows 10 Threshold (TH) and Redstone (RS) anniversary editions.

As for the rest of the supported OSes, besides the platforms mentioned above, this update also includes support for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems, and can be applied to either desktop or notebook configurations.

However, even though other OSes might seem to be compatible, you should know that installing the present update on different platforms isn’t recommended. Doing so might lead to malfunctions that would require you to remove and apply the appropriate driver.

With this in mind, if you consider installing Realtek’s 6.0.1.7917 update, save and unzip the downloadable archive to an accessible location on your computer, and locate and run the available setup file from within the newly created folder.

Afterward, simply follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete and successful upgrade, and make sure not to forget to give the wizard permission to perform a system reboot. If this task isn’t requested automatically, however, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually.

With this in mind, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7917, carefully install the new version, perform a restart upon completion, and check our website as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
