This switched my audio driver back to Microsoft's. I then rebooted and uninstalled the Realtek driver. In order to get the Microsoft High Definition Audio Device to install and work properly, I had to install the Realtek driver from Dell's website for my machine. Note: this step may be specific to Dell machines. You should see the Realtek updates in the troubleshooter.Run the Microsoft “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter:.It will complain that it cannot update the drivers because of permissions Go into each folder and delete all of the files inside them.realtekservice.inf_amd64_fcea3531959f3bc4įor each of these folders, follow the instructions by on the original post to change the inherited permissions: Keep the Realtek application off my computer in Windows 10 (note: I also had to change ownership to my user).hdx_dellcsmbext_waves.inf_amd64_de3d27adc6ebf608.dellaudioextwaves.inf_amd64_a8fc1a4f86ac4fa9.Sort by Date modified, and you should see multiple folders modified very recently (there may be non-audio-related files here, so be careful)įind all of the relevant folders for the audio drivers.Open Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository (this is where Windows 10 keeps the driver update files).Let Windows install the drivers automatically from Windows update (to verify this, you should see your audio device working and showing up as Realtek).Use Add/Remove programs to uninstall the Realtek driver (if it exists).Note: I am on a Dell G7 and these steps may be slightly different for your machine. The problem lies with that one, so disabling ALL automated installation isn't really what I wanted. Is there a way to do one of those two things?Įdit: I actually like the automated installation of most drivers on the system. Another way to help me would be to figure out how to avoid Windows reinstalling that application every time without asking me. Is there a way to work around the Audio Manager screwing up my sound management. I tried uninstalling the the Audio Manager, and that works for a short time, but apparently Windows reinstalls it every time. I have to use the Audio Manager in an annoying way. I can now no longer switch devices in the Playback devices, both front and back connectors are the same "device". When switching to Windows 10, the updater/setup automatically installed a "Realktek HD Audio Manager" (which is the manufacturer), however that driver removed the ability to do that. I used to use the "Playback Devices" menu to switch the default playback device depending on what I needed. In Windows 7 I used to have my Sound set up that I had my Headset plugged in at my front audio ports, and my speakers plugged in in the rear.
