Some say to use the Control Panel Device Manager to install/uninstall the drivers, others say to use Realtek's setup.exe for a complete install.

There's a lot of confusing information. What I'll require are a few links to the correct files needed, and a simple step-by-step tutorial on how to install the setup. I have created some screenshots from my older laptop (HP) setup, showcasing what - up 'till now - I've been reasonably happy with. Instead I've spent several days trying to wrap my head around - drivers, dll files, inf files, APO's, API's, registry changes, install & uninstall procedures. I have a library of music I want to listen to (I currently use Foobar2000) and I'd like a specific audio setup to suit my needs. It also has a single Headphone/Microphone combo jack. It came with Realtek pre-installed (which I didn't like because the manager was missing.well actually there was a strange 'console' app instead that didn't resemble anything like the Realtek manager I've been use to in the past.) It has Windows 10, 64-bit, 1809 version. It's a little frustrating, honestly.Īnyway, long story short I have bought a brand new Asus ROG Laptop. The reason is mostly due to the end users preferences for using software that in their view 'isn't their problem to fix'. Hello, I'm having to seek help from this wonderful community here on TechPowerUp, as the official tech giant's support services have a rather nonchalant and ineffectual approach to solving these sorts of problems.
