Looks like Asus screw up where they put half functioning drivers up for download.Ĭlick to expand.I have an Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 MB. I redownloaded the latest version, installed it, and now 'Realtek Audio Console' works, I have microphone tab with all the settings and option to enable noise suppression. What happened is I went to Asus website to download previous version on advice of Woode and I noticed that the size of the latest drivers changed from 95mb to about 160mb. I feel dumb, but what am I missing? What do I need to do to get Realtek Audio Manager installed?ĮDIT: Well, I got my realtek audio panel. My motherboard is Asus X470-F Strix and I have latest Audio drivers. I went to search on my PC and I can't find Realtek Audio Manager. When watching youtube videos I saw people using Realtek HD Audio Manager that had 'noise suppression' feature in the microphone section. I plugged it into my motherboard, it works better than webcam, but there is still some background noise hiss that I'd like to get rid of. This week I finally got an actual microphone that terminates in 3.5mm jack. But I'll post here again if necessary.I've been using webcam microphone up until recently for my communications. Whether or not that is strictly necessary, or even a good idea, I don't know at the moment. In Device Manager, I have disabled the High Defininition Audio Device, with the Microsoft driver, and left the Realtek HD Audio Device enabled. Incidentally, I also found updated drivers on the MSI website for the onboard audio card - it will probably be the same for any other mobo manufacturer. Took me blooming ages to work out that one - what a stupid place to hide them! Then you'll need to right click on each device and left click on 'Enable'. Right Click on any device you can see there - ie Microphone or Line In.ĭrop down menu, appears as usual, Left click on 'Show Disabled Devices' and then again for 'Show Disconnected Devices'. Left Click on the 'Recording' tab at the top. Well, anyway, the secret (for Vista) is:. Well, in Vista HP and probably XP finding these 'devices' isn't easy in fact, it is totally illogical, and I'm sure the enablement has been hidden on purpose. 'But where do I do that?' I hear you cry - 'Audacity and other recording tools simply don't work and I've been baffled for hours/days/weeks/etc.'. If you've acquired, say, an MSI motherboard, or any other with an onboard Realtek HD sound card you might need to enable the stereo mix (and/or the CD Audio) device before you will be allowed to record sound being sent to your speakers.
