Serves me right for trying to do a fresh install after a belly full of beer.
#Install realtek hd audio driver failure reddit drivers#
I can't believe i spent so long trying to get HD sound and all i needed to do was update the mysterious audio device with ATI drivers (which windows could do automatically once i'd installed the ATI gfx drivers). I also found an audio device in Device manager that i could not find any drivers for.Īnyway, the answer was that the device i needed was the nought to do with my MSI motherboard, but the audio output that goes through the HDMI cable on my gfx card. (YOu might have already guessed now what silly mistake i was making). Normal sound through the stereo jack was working, just not the sound through the HDMI cable into my TV. Looking on google and this forum it seemed there was some problem with SP3 and the realtek HD drivers, so i spent ages playing around install and uninstalling the audio drivers in different orders to try and get the damn sound to come out through my HD TV. Admittedly though it was my own lack of thinking (aka 'beer') that was the problem in the end.Īll went smoothly except i could not get HD sound. Double-click on the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers option, right-click on the Realtek audio device, and/or select Update Driver from the text menu. Select Device Manager from the list of options provided. Just thought i would add my experience to this thread on th eoff chance that it saves someone the headache i've just been through. Right-click the Start icon on the taskbar or Windows+X to open the Quick Access menu. I can also get into Properties and there is no drivers. Solution Win + R Type : devmgmt.msc Find the Sound Driver Right Click on the device and press uninstall Press Scan for hardware. So it only shows up when I enable it in the BIOS, and yet I cannot install a new driver or uninstall it, though I can "disable" it. When I disable the HD Audio from the BIOS, it leaves me with no Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. So now I'm left with only the Audio Device on HD Audio Bus.

Restarted the computer hoping windows will try to reinstall, nope, cannot find anything. (KB888111)įinally I found a way to uninstall all of the Legacy codecs etc except the Auido Device on HD thing. I got the latest setup driver from Realtek and tried to run it, it gives me the "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure" everytime. Install new driver, it won't allow that either. All the Leagcy stuff has no uninstall option, the High Definition Audio Bus does have an uninstall option, but it does absolutely nothing. Funny thing is, I cannot uninstall any one of them. None of them has any drivers associated with it. After windows installation, it's got the typical Legacy codecs etc and "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus" with a yellow exclamation mark.

TL DR: Headset mic didn't work, tried to upgrade sound driver and got the error message on title.I'm running into a big problem with my Realtek HD Audio setup. This is obviously my last resort, so if anyone has any suggestions, please do tell me !! Right now, I'm in the process of backing up some stuff, so I can do a factory reset.

Select 'Browser my computer for driver software'. So now I have no sound, and I'm worse off. Right-click on the device and select 'Update Driver'. could not perform requested operation."). All the others I couldn't follow completely (I don't have or can't find the UAA driver on device manager) or got more errors (sfc /scannow returns ". I googled that and the only fix that actually solved it for the original poster was reinstalling the OS. After rebooting, the installation continued, but during the process, I got the error message in the post title. During the installation process, it required me to uninstall the version I had and reboot the pc. I tried updating my sound driver by dling the latest driver from the Realtek website. After trying some suggestions from the internet, I started plugging and unplugging in frustration and got a bsod. Yesterday I bought a headset and the mic wouldn't work.

I can't even install updates anymore, because I got an error that I couldn't figure out how to fix, but my computer was still running, so I ignored it.

Ever since I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Prem (that's what it says on the label) to Windows 10, I've been getting a lot of problems (program compatibility issues, a lot of bsod, etc).
