Realtek HD Audio Manager - no Line input

Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.5910
Windows 7 Home Premium
Microphone input to front or rear panel jacks works and appears in Realtek Audio Manager display and in Windows Sound Recorder.
Line input to rear jack (no Line front jack) does not appear in Realtek display nor in Sound Recorder, but Realtek senses a connection being made to the Line input as it is highlighted in the ANALOG section of the display, and a flag message also appears in Windows indicating that a device has been plugged in.
Also, AUDACITY program detects neither microphone nor line input device.

Hi:
Did you try the latest HD audio driver directly from the RealTek website? That has solved various issues.
If you haven't here it is. Accept the agreement, download and install the first driver on the list.

GT80 Titan 094 - Realtek HD Audio Manager

On the Speakers -> Speaker Configuration tab the Speaker Configuration drop-down only lists stereo as an option yet in various online forums and tutorials I see options for Dolby 5.1, THX 7.1 and other theater level surround sound choices.
The stereo option appears even when I have four external speakers and subwoofer connected.
Is there a driver update or something else I need to upgrade in order to have support for these other sound options?

Hi rpisarzjr,
My GT80 2QE (Titan-001) is the same and this is perfectly normal. I think part of the problem you're having is the unclear labeling of the tabs in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
The Realtek DSP (digital signal processor) in our Titans has two audio "outputs": (1) analog and (2) digital. Each one appears as an output "device". The analog output is labeled "Speakers" and feeds the stereo headphone jack and the built-in speakers. The built-in speakers are only stereo, too, even though they have five drivers (two full-range transducers per each of the two stereo channels and one subwoofer that is shared by both stereo channels).
Some notebooks include analog surround sound outputs and therefore have Dolby Digital and/or DTS controls in their Audio Manager software. But it is rare and our GT80 Titans do not. The tab labeled "Speakers" is the analog tab. Since the Titan does not include analog outputs for surround sound, you will not see any surround sound options under the "Speakers" tab.
The only way to get true surround sound out of the Realtek DSP in the Titan is via its digital output. It uses an S/PDIF optical jack which must be connected via Toslink optical cable to a complimentary digital input to an external DSP. This could be a home theatre receiver, HDTV with built-in surround sound decoding, or a high-end computer speaker system with its own DSP.
When you use the Realtek DSP's digital output for Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, the Realtek DSP serves only as a "pass-through" device to send the unprocessed digital surround sound signal out the S/PDIF connector. That's why you must have an external DSP to decode it to the analog audio that your external speakers will need.
It is not normal to find any digital surround sound controls in the Realtek HD Audio Manager software unless Dolby Digital Live has been activated. The Realtek DSP in our Titans is capable of generating a Dolby Digital Live signal from a non-surround stereo source but MSI apparently didn't license the technology and did not provide the controls for it in the Realtek HD Audio Manager. However, if you search the internet, you will find some hacks that enable you to activate it, yourself. Just remember: The only way you'll hear any digital surround sound is with the digital output using an external DSP that can decode the Dolby Digital (or DTS) signal. None of this will benefit the analog ("Speakers") output because it is hardwired only for stereo operation. Plus, the built-in amplifier in our Titans has only two channels and only does stereo.
Don't confuse "fake" surround sound for the real deal. For example, MSI's new Nahimic software will create a "fake" surround sound effect which you can hear over stereo speakers or headphones. It messes with the phasing of the two-channel audio signal to trick your ears into thinking the sound stage is quasi-surround. But these are just gimmicks which add distortion and are worthless in my opinion.
Unfortunately, this stuff is way more complicated than it needs to be.
Our Titans also have digital audio outputs as a part of their HDMI and mDP ports. These are the video outputs from our NVidia GPUs. If you total all of the built-in audio outputs in our Titans, we have five. One digital audio output each for the three video outputs, one digital audio output for the Realtek DSP, and one analog ("Speakers") output from the Realtek DSP which feeds both the headphone jack and the internal speakers. Each of the four digital outputs can pass a full 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound signal.
Finally, the digital audio is usually controlled in the application where the audio originates---not with the Realtek HD Audio Manager. For example, when I play a blu-ray movie, the surround sound audio controls are in my Cyberlink PowerDVD software. The Dolby Digital or DTS selection is made there along with the speaker configuration.
Kind regards, David

Tip to control Realtek HD Audio Manager

I'm enjoying my new HP p6813w quad-core computers after seriously debating whether to purchase Macs and eliminate all Windows PCs in our office. Aside from some HP printer driver issues (resolved by using Vista 64-bit drivers), these machines have worked extremely well. I encountered a simple audio situation that's not clearly explained or at least not where I could easily find it.
I'm using a Vizio HDTV as my monitor, which unfortunately only has a digital audio (SPDIF) output and otherwise an analog (3.5 mm) audio input with my configuration. However, I have a Sony home theater in my office as well that includes a digital coaxial input as one of many sources that it handles. Therefore, I plugged my new HP into each audio source output (both the Vizio as analog and the Sony theater as digital coaxial). Because I don't always use the Sony home theater, I wanted a simple way to "toggle"/switch between the two.
The Realtek HD Audio Manager handles this well. You merely open it (Control Panel > Hardward and Sound > Realtek HD Audio Manager -- at the bottom), and will see the available audio output choices. My analog appears as a "Speakers" tab, and the digital coaxial appears as a "Digital Output" tab. To switch from one to the other, simply click the "Set Default Device" button under the tab/source that you want to use. For example, if I want to use my Sony/digital coaxial, I select the "Digital Output" tab and click the "Set Default Device" button. To use my Vizio/analog, I do the opposite.
It seems to me that this is one of those "obvious in retrospect but perhaps after too much frustration and wasted time" situations. I hope that this helps someone to avoid that. It's a great way to enjoy iTunes or Amazon's Cloud Player while working.

P755 and Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work

Hi. I have a P755 and the Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work. Everything seems to be up to date, but the equalizer and environment features have never worked. I am using the Analog stereo out. The Speaker Configuration is Stereo. The only thing that seems to change the audio characteristics is switching from Headphone to Line Out.
Solved!

Is it possible to install Realtek HD Audio Manager over BeatsAudio

Hello,
I recently bought an HP Envy 700qe PC and I'm really happy with it and its specification except for the fact that comes with BeatsAudio. I tried setting it up like my previous e9240f desktop where you can manage the sorrund speakers since I have dual z-5500's, but the sound is just horrible and somotimes there's no sound coming out of the sorround speakers. I tried installing the Realtek HD Audio Manager after deleting BeatsAudio, but nothing shows after I restart. My current system comes with an IDT High Definition Audio Codec so I'm thinking that's why it doesn't recognize the Realtek Codec when I download it.
Also, if there's no way to download the Realtek HD Audio Manager, will it be easier to just install an Asus Mio-892 HD Card or a Creative SB1350 or both just disable one decide which one is better even though I'm sure I won't be able to use Realtek HD Manager on the Creative Either. And also do these audio cards take too much power. My system has a 500watt power system or would I need to upgrade the power as well?
Any help would be highly appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Realtek HD Audio Manager on Z87-G41 Motherboard

I have the Z87-G41 PC Mate MB with the Realtek HD Audio Manager installed. It seems to be working properly, both the rear and front panel ports produce sound. However, when I plug headphones into the front panel port, the Audio Manager program pops up with a box stating the current connected device is: Headphones. I then have to click the OK button and click out of the program. Is there anyway I can avoid having to go thru this step? Can't the program be set to recognize the headphones without me verifying it? It's a wast of time.

ok follow these steps!
enter your realtek HD audio Manager
go into Device Advanced settings for your Speakers
Mute The Rear Jack Device when a front Headphone Plugged in is selected
click ok
now click the folder icon on the analog section or just above it
and now check both the connector settings there then make sure that it doesn't ask anymore for you to go through confirming it each time you plug in or unplug your headphones!

Realtek HD audio manager

My previous motherboard was a Z87-Gaming GD65. I was able to have my 5.1 surround speaker system connected to the motherboard and also my headset plugged into the front panel case audio jacks and Realtek HD audio manager was able to detect them as two seperate devices.
So I was able to select via the Realtek HD audio manager which device I want to output the sound, either my headset or the speaker setup.
But my new motherboard, X99S Gaming 7 does not detect them as two seperate devices, Realtek HD audio manager sees only speakers output in the software. But the sound is always being output to the headset unless I have it unplugged which it will then output the sound to the speakers.
How do I make Realtek HD audio manager see the headset and the speaker as two seperate devices so I can select which one to output sound to via the software instead of having to unplugg the headset if I want it from the speakers?

When you plugging in the front panel jacks, Realtek HD audio manager will auto switch the audio output to your headset.
If you want you change the audio output to speaker with headset plug in, you can disable front panel jack detection in Realtek HD audio manager.

Realtek HD Audio Manager - Hibernate

I have an MSI MS-7390 Motherboard with WinXP Pro.
When I either turn off my PC completely, or use "hibernate", I always turn off my 4.1 sound system and my monitor, by a shared switch.
I have to do this, or my sound system will be running all the time, as the only switch to really turn it off, is at the backside of the subwoofer.
Now, after hibernating and turning off the subwoofer, when I turn them on again, the Realtek HD Audio Manager always starts up and detects "new hardware" plugged in to the sound jacks. It's always just the subwoofer I only had turned off and on.
What can I do to prevent this?
It's not a majour issue, but annoying nevertheless.
Not turning off the sound system is no option either.

Realtek HD audio manager vs Sound blaster cinema 2

Hey guys,
Quick question. I have an MSI GAMING 5 motherboard and I have both Realtek HD audio manager and Sound blaster cinema 2 installed. Can I remove one? Which one provides the best sound through headphones (Razer Kraken)?

As okultis said, you can have both.
The Realtek HD audio manager is the driver and manager for the actual sound card itself.
The Sound Blaster Cinema 2 is mainly software that works in conjunction with the audio card driver to give it some more advanced features.
You don't NEED the Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software, but it's generally good to have it installed. It will improve the sound output under many conditions.

Having issues with Realtek HD Audio Manager, need help

Sorry if I am in the wrong section for this,
I just got a Z87-G45 MB (v1.10) latest is: 1.30 which has the Realtek HD Audio onboard, now to the problem:
I have the Logitech Z906 speakers which is a 5.1 setup and I have them plugged through the Digital S-PDIF/out on the back panel (Green) but the problem is, the computer isn't detecting the speakers and since it doesn't detect them, I don't have the option tab to manage the audio settings in the Realtek HD Audio Manager Control Panel so that I can set it to 5.1/2.1/quad, etc. Even when I disconnect/connet the digital cable, it doesn't detect that it's been disconnected/connected and the speakers appear as "Ready" in the Playback Devices menu .
Another problem I have is that there's audio, but the audio level is way too low, even at 100% and I think this has to do with me not being able to set up Realtek to 5.1.
When I plugged my headphones through the front panel, everything worked fine and the option to set up the audio for stereo, etc. appeared.
I did a rollback on the Realtek HD Audio Drivers
Current: 6.0.1.6873
Latest: 6.0.1.6959
Things I've done:
1.Re-install Realtek drivers from motherboard CD
2.Update drivers
3.Disconnect/connect the cable to see if the computer would recognize it
4.Check the Playback Devices, choose Digital SPDIF green as default
5.Turned off all enhancements
6.Set the Realtek Digital Audio level to 100% in the properties tab
I'll provide some screenshots of what I see:
What I should be able to see:
Also:

Try this. Right click on the Audio icon in the tray. Then, click Properties. This opens the 'Sounds and Audio Devices Properties'. Check all of the settings to assure they are correct. You may have to change the settings one at a time to see if one of them does the trick. When I have had a problem with the speakers not being recognized, it was incorrect speakers chosen.

HPE-500y Realtek HD Audio Manager missing retasking feature

Hello,
I have an HP Elite model HPE-500y desktop computer and loaded Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. All drivers loaded and everything works great BUT the Realtek HD Audio Manager does not have the audio jack re-tasking option. I tried the Audio Driver from the HP Support website and also 2 different driver packages from the Realtek website. The current driver I’m using is 6.0.1.6804 and my computer’s audio chipset is the Realtek ALC888S-VD. My 2 older computers both also had Realtek HD Audio Managers and they both had the audio jack re-task (remapping) option, but this newer HP doesn’t.
Can I download a different version of the Realtek HD Audio Manager Utility which would give me the re-tasking options ?
Note: The Realtek HD Audio Manager does not load in Windows task bar until I click on it in Control Panel. Next time I reboot, it's still not in the task bar. The yellow folder that should appear in the HD Audio Manager's top right corner with retasking options is missing.

HI,
go to your device manager and see can you see some devices named " unknows devices"
if yes then >
Try following some steps
go to your device manager > right click on unknown devices > go to Properties > then Details tag
select from drop down list called Hardware ID's (PCI\VEN...) Copy it via right click...
and search it according to it on google or any serch engine you will get the right drivers..
here are the print shoot of process!
Hope it helps!

Can't find MaxxAudio tab in Realtek HD audio manager after update

First, sorry for my bad english, but I need your help =)
After I updated my audio driver (realtek hd audio) the MaxxAudio tab in the realtek window was lost...
To fix it, I have tried to "downdate" my driver, but I always can't see MaxxAudio.
I have also search solutions in Internet (Toshiba drivers page, forums, realtek.com...) I have found nothing.
As I had upgraded my computer to windows 7, I have tried to install an old version of this driver which was in the Toshiba Upgrade DVD, but no MaxxAudio tab in the realtek window...
And now, I have no Idea anymore, that's why I ask you.

It's a Qosmio X300-16M (windows 7 64bit)
I downloaded the last toshiba's sound driver (for win 7 64bit), but it's as if it doesn't contain MaxxAudio anymore... (but the file maxxaudio.dll is still in realtek directory)
It worked correctly after Windows 7 update, (that's why I tried to reinstall the audio drivers which were in the DVD... but it does not have resolved the problem.)
And all my system restore's points have been lost after a wrong bios update or something else (but this isn't a problem anymore)
Now, my computer works correctly, my only problem is that the MaxxAudio tab (from Waves Audio) in the realtek audio manager disappeared... (It just makes a better sound...)
And I just want to know if it's a curent problem or not... and if someone can fix it
