GT80-2QE / Realtek Audio / Nahimic

Hi,
I downloaded the latest audio drivers for the GT80 from the product page. After installing, I no longer have the system tray Realtek Audio icon... and my SoundBlaster Cinema is no longer working. Also, the Nahimic technology is nowhere in sight.
It is fair enough if these drivers are for the latest GT80 variants... but to REMOVE the old ones from the GT80 web page is a bit of a mess really...
Has anybody else experienced the same? Does the Nahimic technology even work on the 4th-gen Intel GT80's?
Thanks.

I wiped my system. Did a clean install, and updated everything including my BIOS again, just to be sure. Now I have the Nahimic software working but not the SB HC 2 software. I have the same issue as cmplieger where I'm told that "No supported audio device available." I think cmplieger is correct that the BIOS flash which allowed the Nahimic support broke the SB HC 2 support. I haven't tried flashing back to the old BIOS as I already have SoundBlaster E-series software running for use with my headphone. Unlike cmplieger my Nahimic software can modify the sound of my built in speakers. It certainly isn't as feature-rich as the SB HC 2 software, but it can improve the sound experience. Note I say experience and not quality. Anyhow, my guess is if you flashed the new BIOS for your GT80 and SB HC 2 still works, Nahimic won't and vice versa. I hope MSI address the issue and allows a choice or both to work. Also, I agree with the thinking that MSI should clarify their support downloads better. Haswell and Broadwell BIOS downloads on the same page is asking for trouble IMHO. MSI is clear in the instructions that the two chipsets BIOS do not work with the other.
What I'd really like is the benefit I was promised during registration: email updates for new software, BIOS, and drivers. I've yet to see such an email, and it be nice not to worry about actively managing things such as BIOS updates. It be great if I received an email saying something along the lines of "In preparation of Windows 10 we have new downloads available for your MSI GS70 XXXX. These include BIOS and new Nahimic software. Read more about Nahmic at www.Nahimic.com to see all it has to offer. Meanwhile Support for SB HC 2 will be temporally suspendered as we work out how to best bring the experience to you with Windows 10 compatibility." Then the email should include instructions and direct links to what I need to be up to date. Simple, not to hard to implement, and I'm sure greatly appreciated by many... I guess that is to much to expect? Thankfully we do have this forum to come to for support. Thanks guys!

Realtek Audio is not working in Windows 8 x64 and 8.1 x64

I bought MSI x79 gd 65 mainboard with 4930K i7 and GTx780 1 week ago.
I downloaded windows 8 and latest bios, chipset and audio drivers: Audio didnt worked. Then i updated 8.1 still not worked.
I tried to dowload windows 7 its worked but not with 8.
Then i downloded 8.1 again and i started to try oldest versions like 2.72 - 2.71 they couldnt help too.
I saw in one forum i was saying "make your realtek driver, windows 7 compatible" I tried and not worked.
I saw another forum "close your nvidia audio" Not worked :(
I saw another forum " Download oldest bios" Not worked
Nearly i tried everything. I dont want to use windows 7. What can i do to fix that latest Realtek audio driver not working. Realtek manager can see my 2+1 sound system when i put the cable also when i test it sound bar moving but no sound. Please help me. I hope i can find solution in there.

Update to the latest bios: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=163918.msg1260356#msg1260356 (Follow the guide)
>>Clear CMOS<<
Afterwards update the Intel Management Engine Driver in Windows.
Reboot and afterwards install current Realtek drivers: http://www.msi.com/service/download/driver-22481.html

How can I just use a generic Realtek audio driver without "Beats Audio" interfering!?

Beats audio is terrible! I just want to have a flat EQ with no stupid sound effects enabled. The only way I've been able to do this so far, is to uninstall the audio driver, and just use the generic windows one instead. But what I would like to do is use a generic Realtek audio driver, and completely remove Beats Audio from my computer.
After uninstalling the audio driver that comes with my laptop, I tried getting a standard Realtek driver from their website. But when I install that, Beats Audio reappears! This is so frustrating! How can I uninstall Beats Audio? I want it gone forever! I can see from searching these forums that this is a common problem. But none of the solutions have shown how to just use a standard Realtek driver without this Beats Audio rubbish.
Can anyone tell me how this is possible? I'll stick to the generic windows driver if I have to. But it would be nice if I could just use the Realtek drivers as they were meant to be.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. But you've misunderstood the question. I know how to uninstall the sound driver and just use a generic Windows one instead. But what I'm actually looking to do, is install the Realtek audio driver without Beats Audio. Thanks.

Can't Hear Audio - Realtek Audio Device

Hi Guys,
I have an Asus P5Q motherboard with a Realtek Audio Device on board and I can't here any audio. I don't have the tracks muted, I do have the headphones plugged in and I can hear other audio outside of the program. I did have this problem with Premier Pro CS3 but after a reboot one night it just started working...
Is there any particular drivers i need or software or settings to change??
Link to motherboard specs: http://au.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=709&l4=0&model=2164&modelmenu=2
Many Thanks in advanced,
Tim Raphael

Also download http://www.asio4all.com - a free ASIO driver which will work with at least some RealTek devices which I've come across. This driver will dramatically improve latency (reduce it!), and you can actually work realtime in Audition. In Audition's Audio Hardware Settings you will probably see both the RealTek generic driver and Asio4all, as they can coexist on a system. Select Asio4all everywhere you can.
Now, RealTek audio chips aren't exactly high-end hi-fi, so don't expect crystal clear noise free sound - and certainly do not blame Audition when you somehow can't get it ;-)

Dolby Home Theater V4 changed to Dolby Digital Plus after Realtek Audio Driver update Windows 8.1

Hi,I'm now using Ideapad Z510. After upgraded to Windows 8.1. I'd went to the Lenovo website searching for new driver update.
But, after i install the "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7023", the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is not running(audio sound not playing through).And, the "Dolby Digital Plus" is running instead of "Dolby Home Theater V4".
Then, when I try to reinstall the older version "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6954" from Lenovo website, the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is running again.
Truly, the "Dolby Digital Plus"'s sound is crisper and louder than "Dolby Home Theater V4". But the sound of "Dolby Home Theater V4" has more bass and more function (like Graphic Equalizer, more Intelligent Equalizer etc.).
Is this an update or what?
What should I choose?The newer driver (for Windows 8.1) or older driver (for Dolby Home Theater V4)? Thanks. (confused now) @@

Hi all
Could you try out DAA or DHTLightweight from my link and just install the Dolby software without overriding your Realtek Driver? I am not sure whether would it work, but worth a try. I have tried on Y460, W520 and G560 with great experience.
If the older Dolby software does not work with your existing Realtek driver, you could install the DAA or DHTLightweight with their driver to overwrite and see how it goes.
Thank You
Peter

Realtek Audio v 6.0.1.7040 - 5.10.0.7040 - gga109ww

Hi friends,
I m T430 and Win8.1 x64 and after installed this update "Realtek Audio v 6.0.1.7040 - 5.10.0.7040 - gga109ww" I do not see the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 anymore.!
I tried to installed Dolby Advanced Audio v2 manually but it seems not to be working...
Or anything with this update of Realtek?
Thank you for your reply before hand,

In my case, my software update software does not work...it starts and just seats there while the blue bar spins without accessing anything...
have tried downloading directly from the apple download page, the proapps and to my surprise after entering my serial number, just the most recent proapps are available....not the rest...
even if I find, by the grace of god, a link in the download link of Apple's pages.to download, let's say, Proapps 2008 2, the link takes me to the same place, of FCP and the option simply does not exist...just the most recent Proapps and not the one I want to get...
any ideas as to where can I retrieve the other 4 proapps??????

I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

Hi!
I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

first go to start-all programs- windows update is at the top of the list follow the prmpts to install microsoft update which is the new version of windows update if microsoft update is all ready installed go there and select custom then let it look for updates
then if it detects missing drivers it will install or guide you on what to do. If you have an r52 laptop then try this link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_CA/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-58599 the best of luck.
2 if that doesnt work then try this open device manager right click on the sound device you may have to expand sound, video and game controlers on the tab that comes up select properties then select the drivers tab select update driver.
do it this way incase the driver installation failed the frist time it may not ask you to update again if you didnt uncheck the box that came up on frist try.
3.find a mother board disk and search the disk using explore for ac97 realtech driver. actually windows update should solve it also try there FIX IT web site there are many automatied fixes there for your use.

Dolby audio and Realtek audio drivers suddenly won't work on windows 8.

I've got an Ideapad U510, Windows 8 64-bit system.
A couple of days ago I got a message, which stated that the dolby audio driver didn't work, and I needed to reinstall the driver or restart. I did both and neither worked.
I searched for drivers on Lenovos website, and updated the driver for Realtek audio. Now the logo for sound just have a red X on it and I don't know what to do. I uninstalled the drivers, installed them again and it didn't work so I uninstalled it again.
The dolby digital driver won't install again, it says it needs PCEE to install but I have no idea what to do.
Please help me. I don't know what caused the problem, so I have no idea how to get my audio working again.

hi Bubble,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter. On the list of programs, remove any instances of Dolby or Realtek Audio and reboot.
2. After the reboot, press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, expand Sound, video, and game controllers and check if the sound device is listed as High Definition Audio. If it says Realtek High Definition Audio, uninstall it, put a check on 'delete device driver software' and reboot. This step will install a generic sound driver that should enable you to play sound on the unit.
If the above steps doesn't work and you still see the red X mark on the sound adapter then you may need to backup important data and do one of the following:
a. System Restore
b. System Recovery via the OneKey Recovery Button
c. Refresh or Reset Windows 8

SOS-suddenly NO Sound- (MSI) hp ms-7225 v2.1 realtek audio

hello
my rig of 3 years now has no sound.
banging my heads against walll, i've tried everythng, appreciate some help to think of what might be muted since all software & hareware& drivers check out fine.
using realtek audio on an ms-7225 v2.1 n1996
can hear my voice through speakers when talking on mic only. no other audio.

This bug was causing some very strange behaviour on my machine (HP ZBook 14, kernel: 4.0.4-2-ARCH). Steam would not load (hang), lspci would hang, the computer would not properly reboot, and 1/5 times it would boot up with a snd_hda_intel error.
Creating the file /etc/modprobe.d/my-alsa.conf and adding the line:
options snd-hda-intel enable=0,1,0
fixed the issue.
I'm not sure if this breaks sound over the display port. If I ever test that I'll post it back here.

Link to download Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista ?

Hi All,
Could you pls let me know the exact link to download Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista ??
I am having A 200 Satelite model with promblem of disorted & crackling sound.
So wanted to try reinstalling this driver.
Thanks in advance.

The latest Realtek drivers can be found at either of these two links.
Realtek Driver Download: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
Or from Major Geeks: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?id=35 (Realtek drivers are two thirds of the way down the page).
You will need to know which Realtek driver you need for your laptop. I.e., the Realtek HD Audio or the Realtek AC'97 version.

Did anyone successfully install the Realtek Audio update?

I've tried several times to install the Realtek Audio update version 6.0.1.7358. Each time I lose all sound on my laptop. I've tried all the obvious solutions, but the only one that works in the end is to uninstall Realtek and delete the software. What's restored is the generic 'High definition audio device' component.
I don't get any crackling with this, but the volume is not as loud as before. I would like ideally to get the best out of the Yoga. Has anyone had success with 6.0.1.7358?

Dear Kmaustral
Please use the below link to download and install the updated version of the sound card with the Realtek audio firmware .

Thanks

GT80 2QE 034CN

Hello,
i bought the chinese Version of the GT80 (GT80 2QE-034CN). All the language Topics could be solved easily, just the BIOS. MSI Support asked me to send the Computer to Czechia workshop, then they would switch my Bios language to Englisch. This is not acceptable for me. Even if they would pick up the Computer and pay the fee. But from Beijing, this takes far too Long.
Also, Flash new Bios Version, remove AC Adapter, remove Batteries, push On/Off button 5 seconds, and wait then for at least 5 minutes did not help to Change the language from chinese to english.
When i open HWiNFO64 i can see two language Options, en|US|iso8859-1 and zh|CN|unicode <Active>, but in Bios directly there is no option to change. Language menu is hidden. Can you guys modify my actual BIOS Version E1812IMS.10C to unhide the language menu?
BIOS Version: E1812IMS.10C
Motherboard Model: MSI MS-1812

Hi Svet, thanks for the reply, even if they are not so good news for me. Then i have to learn to read chinese letters
Seems there is some technical modification on chinese Notebook Versions, which prevents a language switch to english after a BIOS Flash. Never heared about this, and how this can be technically done. My thought was, to unhide language menu in BIOS, then i could choose the language myself and set as Default for the future. But if this does not work..

Re: MSI GT80 (Broadwell) RealTek Card Update PCI error

Quote from: david on Yesterday at 19:03:08Hi Ventriloko,
I'm surprised at your "product name". I have a GT80 2QE also and mine is the GT80 Titan SLI-001 with the Haswell i7-4720HQ. Why would MSI give you...

Quote from: Nichrome on Today at 00:17:59Mixing RAM ain't best practice.
Are you able to test different mouse and keyboard?
I still don't see how having 3 of the same sticks would affect the drivers.
Yes ...
