Sattelite C55-A Horrific sound inside RealTek HD audio

For a long time my sound was perfect, I also use something called Razer Sorround to Enhance my sound quality and it sounds absolutely awesome!
My Laptop
I had to do a factory reset on my computer for some reasons (A lot of junk files i just didnt want to delete)
ever since i did that, I went to listen to sound (using RealTek HD audio instead of the virtual Razer Sorround Audio card) and it sounds horrible!! There is no bass, its all treble, and sounds disgusting! its currently set to 24Bit, 192000Hz and it sounds horrible! If i user Razer Sorround it sounds a bit better, but i can still tell on some songs it just gets distorted.
Thank you in the long run.
Again, if you didnt see before...
I have a Sattelite C55-A Laptop.
I have tested the sound with and without headphones, My headphones are great studio quality aswell. (well i mean they sound amazing, they werent cheap either) Thank you a lot.
A quick edit;
The only drivers i have ever installed was a BIOS one and AMD one. I believe the amd was for the cpu/ integrated gpu

I have a C55-A5392
The sound only only sounds terrible and has a weird bass stutter when i select RealTek HD, currently im using an virtual sound card, but it does use up quite a bit of CPU, would be great if i could fix this

Equium A210-171 Control Panel\Hardware and Sound Missing Realtek HD Audio

Hi,
I was doing some updates the other night and went into msconfig,
I think i clicked hide all microsoft services and then disabled everything or most of not sure.
But usually when i go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound i can see a tab to realtek hd audio
When i click that i get another control panel/window where i have some options to change sound
Like i had a few options where i could select to use effects like Hall, Disco, party etc
Also installed realtek AC 97, not sure if that was needed, i cant see the realtek folders in program files though.
It has another option to fix loudness which is handy to give volume a small boost.
Could anyone tell me how to get realtek back in Control Panel\Hardware and Sound
Thanks in advance

I managed to fix it by uninstalling it from add/remove programs and then i found the drivers for my os
Yes btw i still have the os that it came with and she runs great for a laptop i bought in 2007
Toshiba will definitely be my next purchase though :)

Can't uninstall sound drivers (Realtek AC97 Audio)

Hi, I’m having problems uninstalling my sound driver that’s on my MSI K8N NEO4-F. When I choose to remove it in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel I get the following error message:
(I’m translation this from Swedish so if some word has the wrong synonym or is grammatically incorrect the reason is because English is my second language.)
>SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (390)
pAPP:Realtek AC’97 Audio

Another error message follows:
An error has occurred in the uninstall program.
Do this:
-Close all open program.
-Clean temp folder.
-Control your internet connection
Then try to run the uninstall program again.
The reason I want to uninstall the driver is because I couldn’t get my microphone to work with the onboard soundcard. So I've put in my old Sound Blaster Live 5.1 and it works a lot better, but it only works after I have done a "Hardware Test" in Properties for “Sound and Sound units” in the Control Panel. The microphone sometimes stops working while I’m using Ventrilo and I have to redo the “Hardware Test” to get it to work which is very annoying.
I would really appreciate any help with this problem.
/Regards Thor-Björn

The drivers are disabled in BIOS and I tried to remove the drivers in Safe Mode but got the same error messages. However, I DLed a program called Driver Cleaner Pro and removed Realtek AC 97 Drivers. This did not fix my microphone problems though! Anyone know how I can get the microphone working without having to do Hardware Tests? And what could it be that fixes the problem when I do a Hardware Test?

Z87 G-45 - Sound problems/ Realtek HD audio

Alright so here is my problem, I just bought a new rig, like 2-3 months ago.
- MSI GTX 770 Superclocked (factory overclock)
- MSI Z87 G-45
- Intel i7 4770k (standard clock)
- Corsair Vengeance pro 2x4GB(8GB) 1866mhz
- OCZ 750W, Bronze 80 + Fully modular PSU.
- 1TB Wester digital, Caviar black.
- Random mid tower case.
So I've set up my rig, without major problems, my friend has the exact same pc but he has a different case and a SSD instead of a HDD. So everything seemed fine, I played many games like AC4, BF4 without any major problems. But I've started playing one of my favorite games, LoL (League of legends) now there I started to get some problems, sometimes when I'd start my game 'the audio would go into a vierd buzzing sound for a few seconds followed by a blue screen.
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0xfffff88000b4c000, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff8800f419fa0). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP.
For a while I didn't do anything about it, because it didn't happen that often, untill about 2-3 weeks ago where it started happening alot. Shortly after another problem appeard, the same buzzing sound would now happen, at the end of the game, either after a win or a lose when I'd click continue to go the end lobby screen. It would happen after I'd press the continue botton, and untill I've reached the end lobby 5-10 seconds and then It would stop. So I decided to google the problem, not much was on the topic apart from saying it was probably drivers, so I reinstalled all my drivers, the blue screen stopped, but the buzzing sound at the end of my game would continue. It got worse, when I'd watch a youtube video and sometimes press back or click on another video the buzzing sound would come back again. This time it didn't stop unless I'd run some other program or game. I was getting really annoyed by this, so I decided to reinstall my windows. I did, I formated my HDD and installed my windows 7 again. Now I've quickly installed drivers, windows updates but I noticed that at the bottom there was a red X beside the speaker, at first I didn't take into account. So then I restarted my pc and I installed, steam. skype etc etc. Now, I went into google and went into youtube wanting to watch a video. No sound, I was like ' is going on, are my drivers not installed' So I reinstalled my sound drivers it didn't help, now this time I didn't install any Ultility drivers and I was like maybe thats it. I went onto the MSI website, and went into utility and got the sound blaster driver. It fixed the problem as soon as I installed it, not for long. I had to restart my pc a few times to complete updates and when I did, no sound again. 'This point im pretty mad'. Along with not being able to install BIOS divers, because it keeps saying that
'The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see if you need x86(32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version of the program, then contact the software publisher' I was okay it, i'll reinstall my Windows again.
I reinstall my windows again, (current one) now this time I didn't rush installing any drivers, sound was fine from the start, I tryed my BIOS again, same message appears. Now I go to install my sound drivers, as soon as I do and restart my PC, there is a red 'x' beside my speaker at the bottom right corner of my screen. I'm like '', so I go to control panel, uninstall the drivers restart my pc and it works fine again. It must be something to do with the motherboard, at first I thought it was my RAM like many people suggested about the so called blue screens, but now I can see thats its not.
Also I'd like to mention I was able to install BIOS update on my other Windows Install, without any problems nor any Audio problems untill the end.

Try installing the drivers from realtek straight, that solved something similiar to me. The realtek drivers are different from the manufacturer MSI drivers.

No sound from laptop speakers after Windows update installed Realtek HD Audio

Laptop is HP6626US with Windows Vista 32 bit SP2.
I had an error with Windows Update which was recently fixed. When I ran the update Realtek HD Audio was installed, among many other items. I now have the red circle white X by my speaker icon and do not get any sound out of internal speakers.
The Driver version is 6.0.1.6662
Direct X version 11.0
Audio Codec ALC 268
In Device Manager Under Sound, video and game controllers Realtek HD Audio is listed with Unimodem Half Duplex Audio Device if that is helpful.
Help Appreciated.

Hello,PaulM25.
I see that you're having an issue with the sound on your notebook. Typically this means the Drivers don't exist and can also be considered as a hardware issue.
I have a couple of questions for you before we get going.
This is your notebook (HP Pavilion dv6626us Entertainment) correct?
Did this issue occur after you updated the audio drivers?
Now, you can go ahead and try these steps to resolve the issue.
Please completely remove the drivers for the Audio Device in Device Manager and “Control Panel – Programs and Features”.
Reboot the computer.
Please check if the device will be installed automatically after the computer starts. If not, please go to Device Manager and then navigate to the Audio Device, right click on it and choose “Update Driver software”
If the issue persists, please try to manually install the device driver which comes with the computer to see if it works. (You can also go to HP website to install the drivers. If you cannot find it, please give me the detail information of the device or the computer, such as brand, model, etc., I will help you search for the proper driver.)

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.

NO sound- P7-1010-PC- Realtek HD audio

Pavilion p7-1010-PC and hp S2331 monitor -Just bought it -Windows 7, service pack 1 - RealTek HD audio-
No sound- I have not bought any external speaker. Must I buy external speaker to get audio? How do I find out if it had built in speakers? I presumed every computer has built in speakers.
Trouble shooter reporting that "speaker, headset or headphone is unplugged".
P.S. Either HP knew that novice computer users will face this difficulty or they did not know it - either way something does not feel right.

Desktop PC's must have external speakers plugged in to enable audio. Some PC's are supplied with speakers but most are not. You may also use a PC headset if you choose. Plug the speaker or headset plug into the green connector at the rear of your PC.
the lime green line out is number 8 in the following image of the I/O ports at the rear of your PC.

MSI P965 Neo onboard Realtek HD audio has no sound

I just bought a new MSO P965 neo-f motherboard with the built-in 7-1 Realtek HD audio and I have no sound.
Windows detects it and I have installed the latest realtek driver (v1.49). Everything looks fine, but there is no sound, as if its all muted.
I have tried different speakers, but no result.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Quote from: Me27 on 16-November-06, 17:43:28
The other soundcard is in a box, not connected to the motherboard, due to a lack of PCI slots. I really do no understand the choice of MSI to only use 3. I personally would have needed atleased 5 slots, but could not find any (MSI) bord with 5.
It comes down to a change in technology that is happening, Me27. 6 or 7 years ago you would have found most motherboards with 3 PCI and 2 or 3 ISA slots. Then we went to 5 or 6 PCI when ISA pretty well faded. Over Time AGP came out and took the place of one of these PCI slots since you no longer needed one for graphics.
Now we have PCI Express for the graphics, but the technology for PCI-E has also started to be implemented for many components that were previously PCI only. So now we are changing technology again and you have 3 PCI and 2 or 3 available PCI-E slots.
As time goes on you will probably start to see more and more boards that contain more PCI-E slots and less PCI until standard PCI fades and the next technology comes along.
It's part of changes to technology.

My sound is like echo and i can't solve the problem with realtek hd audio manager

HP G72 notebook
Windows 7 64 bit
Sound is like echo and can't solve problem with Realtek HD audio manager

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

My iPhone 5 dropped on the floor, then I heard a strange noisy sound inside when I hit it on it's back, any explanations ?

Bring it to Apple and get it checked out. How could anyone here possibly know what happened to your phone without seeing it?

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.

Hello @Jccr510,
Yes that ASUS MIO-892 will indeed work on your computer and will give you the Realtek HD Audio Manager that you are looking for.
Hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Error message occurs when I try to install Realtek HD Audio driver on Satellite M70

Microsoft Bus Driver should be loaded in your system before installing Realtek HD Audio Driver
This is the error message that I got when I tried to install the original Realtek drivers! Removed/installed the new WXP media center 2005, everything was fine but the modem and the sound, for the modem no problem but for the sound...(sight) I even downloaded new drivers on the internet and THEY WORKED!
But when I try next time to open my computer I get all the time a blue screen then it shuts down? What is wrong? I got everything original and I followed the step. What should I do?
By the way I got an Satellite M70 - 168 laptop.

Hi
Someone get this similar error message on his notebook OSs and according to the information the Microsoft patch should helps to sort it out.
Found this useful knowledge base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835221
This document advice to install the KB835221 patch but that is only officially available by talking to Microsoft technical support!
But dont worry buddy. The Google search engine is the key!
Try to search for this KB835221 patch and Im sure you will find the right one!
The required UAA drivers in the Microsoft documents are not included with XP SP2 or SP1, so it's a useful QFE to have around if you want to use newer sound cards like the Realtek HD Audio.
PS: If the Q835221 didn't help then you can also try the updated driver from Microsoft Q888111 article, which has 4 versions depending on your OS and installed service pack.
Good luck!
