Version of the third option called ATI HDMI Audio Device Driver used for installation on systems with chip-based motherboards AMD with port HDMI.
- I have three questions for the site administrator: How to install a sound driver? Second question: Where can I download Realtek dispatcher ? Third question: (there is a separate article) on the system unit? I had all this and it worked before reinstalling the system. A few days ago I had to reinstall Windows 7 and now there is no sound, the realtek manager is gone and the front soundbar is not working. I can't find the driver CD. You can, of course, call a specialist, but the prices are expensive, and I’m studying at school, and I want to figure it all out myself, because I managed to install the operating system myself. Edik.
Letter No. 2. I have a problem: I reinstalled the operating system and immediately a question arose how to install sound driver, the Windows 7 operating system found all other devices and the drivers were installed automatically, this can be seen in the device manager, but instead of my audio device it was written Audio device on the High Definition Audio bus and that’s it. According to your article, I determined - Device instance code (equipment ID) went to www.devid.info, pasted 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 obtained:
Realtek High Definition Audio
Manufacturer: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Operating system: Windows XP, Vista
I decided to call the wizard and he very simply installed the sound driver for me from his disk, but the Realtek manager did not appear for me and he and I were unable to turn on the front sound panel, although before reinstalling the system it worked 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 your website motherboard and download all drivers (sound, network, etc.) from there, we even have a detailed article on this topic. If for some reason this did not work out for you, you can download the driver for the sound directly from the manufacturer’s website built into your motherboard sound card, in most cases, this will be a Realtek sound card, that is, read everything that is written below.
We take a computer with the same integrated (built-in) Realtek sound card into the motherboard in the form of a microcircuit, like our reader’s and just installed operating system and Windows 7 without sound drivers (I deliberately did not install the driver for the sound device, we will install it with you).
In device manager I have an item Sound, video and gaming devices and under it is a Device supporting High Definition Audio, indicating that the system contains a new generation audio device that supports the audio standard high definition HD Audio, but there is no sound in the system, because this device driver not installed.
Note: On older motherboards, instead of High Definition Audio, there may be AC’97, an outdated standard audio codec developed 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-relative new specification for audio codecs, developed by Intel in 2004, featuring improved quality digital audio, increased number of channels, more high frequency transmission compared to AC"97.
- We determine the exact name of our sound card and, accordingly, exactly what driver we need.
- We find the driver on the official website of our sound card, download it and install it, if it is a realtek sound card driver, along with official driver Necessarily realtek manager will also be installed(no need to download it separately).
- In order for the front sound panel to work, we have to configure realtek manager, this is not difficult and in most cases is enough for the front sound panel to function normally. If we fail, we will have to enter the BIOS and set the Front Panel Type parameter - from HD Audio to AC-97 (all details below).
During the existence of the site, question How to install the driver for sound, was asked to me countless times, in addition, before writing the article, I specifically observed how an ordinary 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 is this happening?
If the situation is, for example, with drivers for a video card, then it’s relatively simple, everyone knows about the existence of a Russian-language site, where everything is very simple and clear and even has its own program, by running which you can easily find out the exact name of your video card and select it there required driver. Naturally, on such a site it is not difficult for an ordinary 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 here, too, there are only a few main manufacturers and the most important one, in my opinion, is Realtek; personally, I most often have to deal with searching for and installing drivers from this particular manufacturer. Indeed, the website www.realtek.com freezes periodically and does not support 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 exactly the same Everest utility .
More exotic methods of determining the name of devices and searching for drivers for them by ID equipment 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 written below does not help, you can read it.
So, let’s go to the official website of the AIDA64 program. Having been 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 .
We’ve downloaded it, now let’s unzip our program into some folder,
go to this folder, then run the file aida64.exe and our program starts
In the main program window, 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 the job is done, go to the official Realtek website - www.realtek.com. Many users complain that the Realtek website does not support the Russian language; you can get out of the situation by using Google browser Chrome, it will easily translate everything for you.

Sound driver
Sound driver is responsible for the correct operation of the sound card of your device. If you have an output for speakers or headphones, then you also have a sound card, which means you need sound drivers.

You can most accurately determine it using the DEV and VEN codes of your sound card or the Everest program.
For beginners, such definitions can cause some difficulties, so I will describe simple ways how to find and install the most best drivers to the sound.
I would like to note right away that the search method described below is suitable for absolutely everyone, and not just for sound. It is the simplest and most accessible to all novice computer users.
How to determine sound drivers

To do this, open the “control panel” (press start, it will be on the right side), look for “device manager” and click on it.
There is access to everyone installed drivers including on sound. We are only interested in the following “sound video and gaming devices”.
On the contrary, on the left side there is a small black triangle (advanced menu), you need to click on it.
After clicking you will see your drivers. If you right-click on them, a new window will open; in it, select properties at the very bottom. Look at the picture.
In most cases, it is completely enough to find out the supplier’s website. (see figure below) After that, go to it and look for your sound drivers.
If needed Additional Information, for a more precise search, in the “details” option, as shown in the figure, you can quickly find it out.
You can also try to update the sound files directly from the device manager (this method does not always work).
Just click update drivers, indicate where to look (if you have a disk, insert it into the drive, if not, select via the Internet) and update.
There are no difficulties in installing those responsible for sound. After downloading, they are usually in the archive, so we unpack them.
