You can listen to your favorite music and get immersed in the best PC games all over again. Now that you’ve verified everything is running smoothly, go ahead and pat yourself on the back – you’ve successfully re-installed your Realtek HD Audio Codec driver. You are looking for the named device, for example, Logitech Pro X Gaming Headset, or Logitech G560 Gaming Speaker. Look for your device in the list and expand it. Click on View at the top and select View devices by container. If issues persist: Go to Device Manager (WIN+PAUSEBREAK). If it’s still not working, check out our guide on how to fix audio issues in Windows 10 to help you troubleshoot what’s going on. Click Next to update to the latest audio driver. Once you’ve verified that the driver is actually there, go ahead and fire up a YouTube video or play your favorite song on Spotify to ensure that the driver is functioning properly.
Go ahead and find the driver in your downloads folder and run it again. If it’s there, great! If not, the installation didn’t work for some reason. However, we here at TechRadar like to make sure software takes before we trust it.įirst, go back to Device Manager, and make sure that “Realtek High Definition Audio” shows up under “Sound, video and game controllers”. In lower right of screen right click the speaker icon and select 'Recording devices'. After you restart your computer, the driver should be installed.
