Realtek-UAD-generic VS DriverStoreExplorer

Would you mind to try these drivers? https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic/releases

Instead of the neutered Realtek Audio Console I am using the one with the equalizer. You can download it here: https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic/release Unzip the RealtekAudioControl_1.41.290-offline.zip file. Click on the setup.cmd file to install.

Use DDU to remove anything Audio related to Realtek. Restart the PC and download the drivers from pal1000 https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic/releases and see if that helps

Try this one.

Uninstall the driver and install https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic along with the Realtek Audio Control Panel, since with my laptop, uninstalling Waves Maxx Audio Pro disables headphone jack detection.

Or you can install pal1000's Realtek UAD drivers and the latest Realtrek Audio Control 1.41.290.0.

Finally, you could try modded drivers from either Alan Finotty with his AAF Optimus Sound package which has a ton of options and AIOs such as Dolby Digital, DTS-X, Atmos, etc etc and some additional applications (but you can select if you want them or not), or the Pal Realtek package.

The Realtek Audio Control that's posted on pal1000's thread is just an updated version, 1.41.289.0, of the same Realtek Audio Console (Control) that you posted a pic of. Looks the same and does NOT have an audio equalizer.

Try using generic Realtek drivers from here: https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic

When asking questions like this, consider using something like DriverStoreExplorer. It can help you deduce what version is lower then the one you are currently seeing in updates. Also, to clean out any unwanted, unused and old driver versions.

You can try manually uninstalling the outdated driver with the open source project Driver Store Explorer from GitHub.

- Remove all past sound drivers using (the installer sometimes does not remove all drivers): DriverStore Explorer or Uninstall Nahimic Realtek

Driver Store Explorer

1. Download Driver Explorer.

Remove A-volute/Sonic studio from your computer. By uninstalling it from device manager under the Audio tab then completely remove all related files by using DriverStore Explorer and select any driver related to sonic studio and delete it.

I did find several mentions of the Synapse 3 software and issues with THX and that, but I'm not installing Synapse 3 as I have no devices that need it. In the instructions tho, I found the Razer Driver Clean Up Tool: https://rzr.to/Tf53xj and I tried using that and it says that it cleaned the driver files out. Turns out it didn't remove the rxthxspatial.inf which I found out by running the DriverStoreExplorer from here: https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer/releases
