14 DAY TRIAL // Well known for its Audio chipsets and more, Realtek has made available a new version of its High Definition Audio package, namely 6.0.1.7959, which should include some small improvements in terms of stability, performance, as well as sound quality.
Regarding compatibility, the present driver release is suitable for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 operating systems, including Windows 10 Threshold and Redstone anniversary editions.
However, since different OSes might also seem valid at first, installing Realtek’s update on other OSes isn’t recommended and should not be performed. Doing so might lead to malfunctions that would require you to remove and apply the appropriate driver.
Therefore, to upgrade to this release correctly, save and unzip the downloadable archive on an accessible location (such as your desktop), locate and run the available “setup.exe” file, and follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete and successful upgrade.
In addition to that, make sure to give the wizard permission to perform a restart so that changes can take effect properly; if not requested automatically, carry out this step manually.
With this in mind, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7959, install it and check our website as often as possible to be aware when a newer version is available for your device.
