14 DAY TRIAL // Just now, Realtek has made available a new version of its High Definition Audio driver, namely 6.0.1.7960, which comes only one day after the previous Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7959 release.
Since there is no official changelog available, I can only assume that this release might include small improvements regarding stability, performance, as well as sound quality. Therefore, to find out what the changes are, you must install the package on your desktop or notebook.
In terms of compatibility, this package maintains support for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 operating systems, including the Redstone (RS) and Threshold (TH) anniversary editions of Windows 10.
With this in mind, to upgrade to this release correctly, first of all, make sure your system’s OS is supported, save and unzip the downloadable archive on an accessible location (such as your desktop), and locate the available “setup.exe” file.
Afterward, simply close all programs and processes that might interfere with the upgrade, run the executable, and follow all instructions displayed on-screen. Also, don’t forget to give the wizard permission to perform a system reboot so that changes can take effect properly.
That said, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7960, carefully install the new version, and check our website as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
