Well known for its Audio chipsets and more, Realtek has made available a new version of its High Definition Audio package, namely 6.0.1.8098, which should include some small improvements in terms of stability, performance, as well as sound quality.

When it comes to compatibility, this package is suitable for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating systems, including the Redstone (RS) and Threshold (TH) anniversary editions of Windows 10.

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, as this might lead to malfunctions that would require you to remove it and apply the previous driver.

Therefore, save and extract the package, go to Device Manager, right-click on “High Definition Audio Device,” select “Update Driver Software,” browse and select the newly-created folder, and agree with the installation by pressing the “Next” button.

Afterward, simply follow all instructions displayed on the screen, and wait patiently during the upgrade. Once finished, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow the changes to take effect properly.

That said, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.8098 for your appropriate system configuration, apply it to your computer, and constantly check our website to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
