Realtek has just rolled out a new High-Definition Audio driver, namely version 6.0.1.7954, which is compatible with both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 platforms, as well as with the Redstone (RS) and Threshold (TH) anniversary editions of Windows 10.

Regarding 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 are.

Before moving forward, take into account that trying to apply this package on other OSes can lead to various malfunctions, even though it might seem to work at first. To resolve any problems, you must remove the package and re-install the appropriate driver for your operating system.

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.

Afterward, just follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete and successful upgrade. Also, once finished, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly (if it isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, carry it out manually).

With this in mind, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7954, install it and check out our website as often as possible to be aware when a newer version is available for your device.
