Realtek's free High Definition Audio Codec pack enables stereo digital audio at resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz, as well as 5.1-channel Dolby Digital audio. Though it's essentially a package of drivers, it installs like a Windows program and may require a reboot. Realtek HD Audio Codec is available in separate downloads for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows Vista, 7, and 8 systems with Realtek controllers. Pros Audiophile-quality digital audio: No matter the source, you'll get super-high-quality digital audio. We streamed audio at up to 320kbs from Spotify and other sources. Even MP3s sounded better. Dolby HT4: Dolby Home Theater 4 settings include Movie, Music, and Game modes with up to six presets, or you can turn Dolby off in the Properties dialog.

Multiple output options: We could select and configure Realtek Digital Output options for all our digital connections and output jacks, including optical, USB, and internal ATAPI. Cons Realtek HD controllers only: Not all motherboards use Realtek audio chips, and not all Realtek controllers are HD-compatible.

Fortunately, the codecs won't install on the wrong system. Watch the installation: There are other programs added automatically during the standard installation. Choosing the Custom installation option let us decline 'extras' we didn't want. System compatibility: While Realtek HD Audio Codec works with Realtek controllers, some motherboard implementations may not be fully compatible and require proprietary audio drivers instead. Bottom line If your PC has a Realtek HD audio controller, Realtek High Definition Audio Codec will help you get the most out of it.

Chances are, your Realtek controller may already have this codec, courtesy of Windows Update. If it doesn't have it, get it! You are logged in as.

Hi, Try this link. Without knowing your chip model it's my best guess.

Look specifically for the driver codec package for your RealTek Audio either at the computer manufacturers site or RealTek's.If you can find the chip model, that would be even better. I think the RealTek HD Audio is a bit different than just the audio drivers themselves, and should put a orange icon on your taskbar. You may need to EXTRACT the installer to a folder so you can set the Compatibility Mode of 'SETUP' to Win 7. You may need a program like a free version of 7Zip to do this if Windows won't.
