14 DAY TRIAL // Realtek has just rolled out a new High-Definition Audio driver, namely version 6.0.1.7898, which is compatible with both 32- and 64-bit variants of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 platforms, as well as with the Redstone (RS) and Threshold (TH) anniversary editions of Windows 10.
In terms of changes, since there is no changelog available, I assume the present update might include small improvements regarding stability, performance, as well as sound quality. However, you must apply the new version and find out for yourself what the enhancements really are.
Therefore, if you intend to upgrade to this release, first of all, make sure your system OS is supported, save and unzip the downloadable archive on an accessible location (such as your desktop), and locate and run the available “setup.exe” file.
As a recommendation, do not try installing Realtek’s update on platforms other than the ones mentioned above, as this might lead to malfunctions that would require you to remove it and apply the previous driver.
Afterwards, simply follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete and successful upgrade. Also, don’t forget to give the wizard permission to perform a system reboot so that changes can take effect properly.
With this in mind, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7898, install it and check out our website as often as possible to be aware when a newer version is available for your device.
