Realtek-UAD-generic VS Windows10Debloater

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

Stuff has been uninstalled from Settings and Control Panel and CTT's Utility (to enable some settings I would've enabled through Terminal commands already) and Sycnex's Debloater (to uninstall some apps) have been used. It's nothing major as I only uninstalled apps I could download from the store if necessary and made sure not to delete any major system components except Edge maybe. I have read through every menu and setting any of these utilities has brought up thoroughly to ensure I didn't do so. I believe I did my research before enabling/disabling a setting.

I've used this script for every new install of Windows and it makes the experience quite a bit better: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater .

17k stars on GitHub so lots of people agree.

if you wanna go even further in getting the most out of your laptop you can use this debloating tool to get rid of the extra stuff Microsoft puts into windows that youll never use.
