Well-known for its Audio chipsets (and more), Realtek has made available a new version of its High Definition Audio package, namely 6.0.1.7815, which might include small improvements regarding stability, performance, as well as sound quality.

However, since there is no official changelog available, you must apply the new version on your computer to find out what the changes are.

In terms of compatibility, the present driver is valid for both 32- and 64-bit architectures of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 operating systems, and it is recommended to be used only on these OSes.

Trying to apply this package on other platforms can lead to various malfunctions, even though it might seem to work at first. In this case, to get rid of any problems you must remove the package and re-install the appropriate driver for your OS.

Therefore, if all requirements are met, save and unzip the downloadable archive, locate and run the available setup.exe file, and follow all instructions displayed on-screen for a complete and successful upgrade. Also, make sure not to interrupt this process in any way so that any possible problems are avoided.

Last but not least, once finished, take the time and perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually.

That said, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7815, follow all instructions to install the new version, and constantly check our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
