PC manufacturers get what they pay for and the hardware engineer and manufacturer (Realtek) cripples their audio chips according to the license - as they probably have to pay fees to Dolby/DTS/etc. Long story short: From what the stuff I didn't understand made me think I learned was. As I didn't know which bits/flags to change to enable features like realtime conversion of 5.1 PCM audio to AC3 (Dolby Live I think, which basically should force Windows to use 5.1 audio for everything and via optical TOSLINK/SPDIF). (google it, it looked pretty cool)Īnd the other driver hack had a tool which allowed you to enable some additional features like 24 bit for audio mic input I think. Then there were these other driver hacks ( ) which were able to add feature like Dolby Access and some gamer grade audio stuff. Works fine but strange behaviour.įor the older Realtek there is some hacked(?) driver to allow to use the UWP app. Especially when you have older hardware and are not able/allowed to use UWP app and have to stick with the old WinXP-style program. Long gone are the days of my old laptop with conexant drivers where everything worked just fine for years never having to think about it. I've come to the point where I just want to burn my new laptop so that this stupid realtek shit dies in flamds and every memory of it turns to ash. It is also so completely and utterly useless that you can't even use a headset with a mic because the damn thing doesn't recognize any external mics since the connector retask setting doesn't allow switching (yeah, fuck you Realtek Audio Console). It's always there, just sitting and making audio sound like trash.
I used device manager, dedicated software and nothing. It keeps being installed no matter what you throw at the bastard.
First of all, this thing just doesn't want to go away. I was trying to fix this stupid shitwreck of a driver yesterday and oh my god.
Why can't these morons at realtek produce an actual piece of software that works and is consistent? Why does almost every manfuacturer of motherboards keep including realtek audio chips on them? Why does everything official about realtek and their webpage look like it was made by some incompetent low-grade IT student that wants to fuck with people and include malware in executable files for download? Some allow connector retasking, some don't (LIKE MINE!!!). Some allow you to choose between speaker settings, some don't. There exists this thing called Realtek Audio Console and I was reading about it and looking at screenshots of it from other users and none of them look the same! Some have equalizers, some don't. Not only do Realtek drivers make audio sound like someone called me on the phone (extremely shitty), their programs are so fucking buggy and retarded. I just have to vent my frustration with this god awful product that somehow finds its way into most modern laptops.
