- I have three questions for the site administrator: How to install a sound driver? Second question: Where to download Realtek Manager? Third question: (there is a separate article) on the system unit? All this I had and worked before reinstalling the system. A few days ago Windows 7 had to be reinstalled and now there is no sound, realtek manager is gone and the front soundbar is not working. I can't find the driver CD. You can, of course, call the master, but the prices are expensive, and I study at school, and I want to figure it out myself, because to install operating system I did it myself. Edik.
Letter No. 2. I have a problem: I reinstalled the operating system and immediately the question arose how to install driver for sound, all other devices were found by the Windows 7 operating system and the drivers were installed automatically, this can be seen in the device manager, but instead of my sound device, it was written Audio device on the High Definition Audio bus and that's it. According to your article, I determined - The device instance code (equipment ID) went to www.devid.info, inserted it into the search field
HDAUDIO \\ FUNC_01 & VEN_10EC & DEV_0883 & SUBSYS_1043829F & REV_1000 and clicked Search, after a few seconds the following result was received:
Realtek High Definition Audio
Vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Operating system: Windows XP, Vista
I decided to call the wizard anyway and he very simply installed a driver for sound from his disk, but the Realtek manager did not appear for me and we could not turn on the front soundbar with it, although it worked before reinstalling the system and I connected it to it headphones. Tell me how to do everything right, you are also a master. Ilya.
How to install a sound driver
Note: Friends, in general there is a rule, immediately after installing the operating system, go to the website of your motherboard and download all the drivers (sound, network, and so on) from there, we even have a detailed article on this topic. If for some reason you did not succeed, you can download the sound driver directly from the manufacturer's website built into your motherboard sound card, in most cases, it will be a Realtek sound card, that is, we read everything that is written below.
We take a computer with the same Realtek sound card integrated (built-in) into the motherboard in the form of a microcircuit as our reader and the newly installed operating system and Windows 7 without sound drivers (I deliberately did not install the driver on a sound device, we will install together with you).
In the device manager I have an item Sound, video and game devices and under it there is a Device with High Definition Audio support, indicating that the system contains a new generation audio device that supports the HD Audio standard, but there is no sound in the system, since on this device driver is not installed.
Note: On old motherboards, instead of High Definition Audio, there may be AC'97 - an outdated standard audio codec developed by by Intel in 1997 But the sound subsystem built into our motherboard operates according to a newer standard - High Definition Audio or HD Audio. Intel High Definition Audio is a relatively new specification for audio codecs developed by Intel in 2004, featuring improved digital audio quality, more channels, and a higher bandwidth than AC "97.
- We determine the exact name of our sound card and which driver we need exactly.
- We find the driver on the official website of our sound card, download it and install, if it is a realtek sound card driver, together with official driver necessarily realtek manager will be installed (you don't need to download it separately).
- In order for the front soundbar to work, we have to configure realtek dispatcher, it is not difficult and in most cases is sufficient for the front soundbar to function properly. If we fail, we will have to enter the BIOS and set the Front Panel Type parameter - from HD Audio to AC-97 (more details below).
During the existence of the site, question How to install the driver for sound, was asked to me an uncountable number of times, in addition, before writing an article, I specifically observed how a simple user searches for drivers on the Internet and came to the conclusion. People want to find drivers anywhere, but not on the official website of the device manufacturer. Why it happens?
If the case is, for example, with drivers for a video card, then it is relatively simple here, everyone knows about the existence of a Russian-language site, where everything is very simple and understandable and even has its own program, by running which you can easily find out the exact name of your video card and pick it up there required driver... Naturally, on such a site it is not difficult for a simple user to download the required driver, this is undoubtedly a big plus for the creators of this site.
The situation is different with sound drivers, although there are also only a few major manufacturers here and the most important one in my opinion is Realtek, personally I most often have to deal with finding and installing drivers from this particular manufacturer. Indeed, the site www.realtek.com periodically freezes, does not have support for the Russian language, but you can still download drivers from it, personally I have always succeeded.
Of course, first of all you need to know the name of your sound card. To accurately determine the name of almost any device connected to the motherboard, including built-in and discrete sound cards, you can use a simple but nevertheless irreplaceable (for example, in my work) program called AIDA64, or you can use the exact same utility Everest ...
More exotic methods for determining the name of devices and searching for drivers for them by the hardware ID code, using the site pcidatabase.com and www.devid.info, are given in our article How to find a driver by device code (link to the article above), we will not repeat ourselves, if everything that is written below does not help, you can read it.
So we go to the official website of the AIDA64 program, being free in the recent past, it recently became paid, but you don't need to buy it right away. For the first 30 days, the developer gives us the opportunity to use the program without any restrictions. It seems to me that this time is more than enough for us to determine the name of the device we need. If you like the program, then of course you can buy it.
On the official website of our program http://www.aida64.com/ click on the Download button,
You can download the program in the installer or in the archive, let's download it in the archive, click on AIDA64 Extreme Edition Trial version, ZIP package, Download.
Downloaded, now unzip our program into some folder,
go to this folder, then run the aida64.exe file and our program starts
In the main window of the program, click Computer,
then Summary Information
and we see everything that we have installed inside system unit: the name of the motherboard and its chipset, as well as the name of the processor, video adapter, BIOS type, and so on.
Half of the work is done, we go to the official website of Realtek - www.realtek.com. Many users complain that the Realtek website does not support the Russian language, you can get out of the situation using a browser Google chrome, he will easily translate everything for you.
Click Downloads

Read our next article -. Very convenient, I recommend!
Hello dear readers.
Each stationary computer or the laptop has sound card... It is through her that users can play music, watch a movie and perform all the appropriate actions. This component can be built into the motherboard or connected as an additional one to it. Regardless of the form of use, such elements require the placement of an appropriate software... Later in the article I will tell you how to install sound driver on Windows 7 in several ways.
general information
Like any other computer components, the above ones also require full placement. Fortunately for many, Microsoft developers have provided the necessary distributions right away in the operating system. True, sometimes there are situations when the OS does not find a suitable entry in its collection.
Automatically
The easiest way is that the system automatically installs all the necessary elements. Users just need to place on their computer desired device and turn it on. After that, Windows will find suitable software and will do everything automatically for free. Unfortunately, this trick does not always work. Therefore, users need to perform the appropriate actions on their own.
Disk
If you purchased new computer or a laptop, often a plastic disc is supplied with the kit, which contains drivers for the main components of the equipment, for example, for the MP 775 Socket or any others. For everything to work for you, you need to place it in the drive. After that, the autorun menu will appear, in which we select the desired one. If this did not happen, we go to " Computer”, And then switch to portable memory. Here we are already looking for the corresponding component and launch it.
Sometimes it happens that after that nothing happens. In this case, we try the second way:
At the end of the process, you may need to restart your computer.
Official site
We go to the official resource of the component manufacturer. Go to the tab responsible for the drivers. We find a suitable one, select the bitness of the operating system (32 bit or 64). Then the download will start. If the file is offered in the archive, unpack it. Next, we find the element with the extension * .exe and launch it. We agree with everything and install.
device Manager
For installation, you can refer to " Device Manager". Where is the solution? This was discussed a few points earlier. Only now we will try to perform the action we need in automatic mode.
So, again, go to the appropriate section, call the context menu on the component and select “ Update drivers". A window will appear in which it is necessary to mark the item with automatic installation. As a result, the operating system independently turn to the Web to find software for free. If she manages to do this, then the process of placing on the device will start.
Updates
Another good way is to use the built-in tool to find and install updates. To do this, we perform a number of movements:
If it does not work, you can try to do the same, only in safe mode with support for network parameters.
Program
One of the most effective solutions is to use software third party developer... It makes it as easy as possible to connect any component to the system. In this case, there is no need to do any important steps through command line or registry.
One of the most convenient and quick decisions in this segment is considered Driver booster... We go to official resource or the same torrent. We download the appropriate software and place it in the operating system. We launch it. Next, click search.
As a result, the solution will offer a list of drivers that need to be updated or installed. We just have to choose the right ones and agree.
In the end, you will most likely need to reboot the device.
It should be noted that this solution is perfect for any OS assemblies from Microsoft, be it home or maximum.
If after the article you suddenly have questions, you can always watch the video, which shows more and more substantively.
Hope you can solve the problem of no sound on your computer.
