Hi I have one problem. My audio worked just fine but now no sound device is available or only my monitor and my monitor’s audio is actually called High definition audio. Realtek shows only as Realtek and after i try to update it there is no option for High definition audio. I really hope you can help me :). It wasn’t like this till last update.

I've been stressed for 4 days now, constantly restarting my computer and stressing out because I make music and wasn't able to record any of my songs. I downloaded a newer Realtek driver online to give me the newer "enhancements" tab to use noise cancellation and unfortunately it made my speakers sound like they were blown! Turns out after using this tutorial, I had 2 different Realtek Sound Drivers downloaded and they kept reinstalling when I would delete one! I finally got my sound back thanks to this video, you are a legend!! Thank you so much!
@@not_eagleye try clicking on roll back changes you will get both speaker and headphones separated and it should work. Happened to me when I clicked on SWAT 4 Gold Edition the second time.
Best audio issue solutions video in the entire multiverse! Concise and to-the-point, but above all, no bloody background music to detract from his clear and precise instructions.
This worked for me!!! All of a sudden the Realtek drivers were producing only crackling distorted sound. Changing to the windows sound driver just as he described has worked for now. Thanks.
Thanks so much! My youtube stopped working etc when I plugged in my headphones and I figured it was the sound driver for the headphone jack. After following your steps, restarting the pc, plugging them in to be met by a blue screen of death I restarted it again, it works again!
I've been restarting and messing with my computer for hours and thought to open the computer. I'm so glad I found your channel, turns out I just had to change it from Realtek to high definition audio. Thank you so much!!
same here! I just got a new pair of headsets and I'm like uhh why isn't it working, I kept on restarting as well and after and after and I got to the point where I was gonna give in but then I looked at ur video thanks so much man love u
You are an angel. I-like most people in the comments below-was having issues with my audio output for a few weeks. Tried different solutions and none worked, but yours did! Thank you so much 😊
Absolutely remarkable, After a recent update, the audio quality went down the sewers for my laptop. With this, I was able to regain the quality of my audio! 10/10
@Horshu Just don't forget that if you don't sin, then jesus died for nothing! The more you sin, the more his suffering pays off, so be sure to show him just how much you appreciate what he did by sinning every chance you get.
@Horshu - It is now questionable that 'Jesus' ever existed. However, I certainly do love CMODISM, as music is, by far, more important than any religious mumbo-jumbo. GMODISM is MY 'Jesus'.
One more fix for everyone who's still having issues. After watching the video my realtek (r) audio driver still was not out putting sound and i read somewhere that the new windows 10 update installs an outdated version of the audiotek driver, at least in my situation that is. After downloading the driver is still wasn't working because i found that upon uninstalling the driver with the driver installation wizard and then restarting my computer, Windows would immediately reinstall the driver causing a cycle of uninstalling, restarting and then reinstalling automatically. You have to disable sound driver auto updates in your registry in order to basically allow the driver to install properly. This worked for my pc i hope someone else can use this for guidance. Sorry for the long paragraph.
@@redditanecd0tes sure here are the steps as followed : 1.search up run or click on windows button + r 2.type in regedit and press enter 3.once the registry window has opened up click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ---> SOFTWARE ---> Microsoft ---> Windows---> Current Version ----> DriverSearching 4.once there look for a registry called "SearchOrderConfig" and changed the value of it to" 0" 5. Restart computer ***please note that you will have to manually install driver updates once this has been disabled*** hope this helps
Thank you very much! I have had this issues since building my PC and have tried countless trouble shooting options and talked to support with my board manufacturer and this is the only thing that worked. I greatly appreciate it.
Realtek has by far the crappiest software in extistence. Over the years (probably 10+ years) I had to go search for solutions at least 7 or 8 times. The website they use, used to have only korean text when you'd search for the drivers. The download is sooo slow for 400MB it will be 4hours (just tested it again), it's not my connection I have 300Mbps
MANN YOU ARE THE SAVIOUR FOR ME!.. the windows just updated the audio drivers to some crappy version and once i connect any headphones or home theatre i used to get a flat sound ..NO BASS AT ALL! iwas out of the world once that happened and i searched baziilions of websites and even googled using random related words but no use and even tried external USB Sound card but no quality .. THEN FOR MY GOOD LUCK i came across this video and lo behold I GOT MY BASS BACK!!!! CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH BROOOOOO
Thank you, this fixed my problem, after a recent Windows update im assuming, my usb headset was still working but laptop sound and headphone port were not... all good now!!
Thank you so much man, I was literally going to smash my computer because I had enough with the microphone noise and watched more than 10-15 videos but they all talked about something else. Thank you again, Subscribed 👍
I love you man, you are the best, I started to go crazy after multiple hours of trying different stuff, this video was life and braincell saving for me, thank you so much! Got a like and a sub.
I’ve watched like 15 videos for more than 3 hours trying to find help… none of them worked. Super grateful for this video you made… my sound is back🎉 I really appreciate
i want to give this post visibility because i had the same issue, woke up this morning to my windows 1909 update and no sound. the moment i clicked on the HD driver device under device manager per this video's instruction, the sound was instantly restored. recommend everyone to watch to the end and follow his suggestion to DISABLE AUTO DOWNLOAD FOR MANUFACTURER APPS so this problem doesn't happen again!
I was about to buy a new headset because my microphone audio is not working! I've been watching different videos about this and you saved me man! Cheers!
POSSIBLE FIX - So guys, for all of you that are still searching comments for sollution. For me i tried everything: updating, uninstaling, disabling efects, manualy installing from sites/pc etc. etc. Sound drivers for windows can be a bit wild. What i did was just reverting realtec audio driver back to high deffinition (firstcouple of times the sound was horrible). Just dont loose hope guys. Try to jsut switch between latest realtec and high definition audio device. Uninstal/restart if you mess up somehow. You are just basically playing with chances. I hope you guys will stay srong and fix all your problems.
So when I click on High definition audio its says : Installing this device driver is not recommended because Windows cannot verify that it is compatible with your hardware. If the driver is not compatible, your hardware will not work correctly and your computer might become unstable or stop working completely. Do you want to continue installing this driver ?
This is the only guide on TH-cam where it fixed the static in my earphones! And it sucks cause I couldn't see the dislikes anymore so I have to watch all the "fake" videos! Glad I found yours!!!
OMG THANK U SOOOO MUCH I've been looking for a solution for a few weeks now and I was so desperate because I couldn't hear my friends at all on calls and felt so left out, but thanks to your method everything is back to normal!!! I almost cried ngl qwq THANK U AGAIN!!!
I was troubleshooting why my headset mic was not working for 2 weeks. I watched 10 or 15 different youtube videos (most of them suggesting similar steps). Bought a new gaming headset and the mic would not work on my desktop but worked on my laptop (both windows 10). This video solved my issue. THANK YOU !!
Sir, can't thank you enough for this, you are amazing. I didn't even know what was wrong and why my microphone wasn't working but now it is! Thank you so much :3
Whenever I go to Device Manager and click on "Sound, Video and game controllers", Realtek High Definition Audio wont show up. Edit:I already downloaded Realtek but it still wont show up.
yeah idk if its the same for u but instead of "Realtek High Definition Audio" its just "Realtek(R) Audio" but despite that i still updated it to High Definition Audio..but nothing happened..instead of changing to High Definition Audio, it simply just stayed as Realtek(R) Audio"...im so lost even at 5+ hours
@@iblazingi1622 Mine says Intel High Definition Audio. Idk if it's the same but I have the Realtek ones installed. My only problem is when I plug in earphones it doesn't work.
My problem just got fixed thanks to you Liked and subscribed, Ive tried everything i could for 1 month and now i can finally talk with my friends ingame.
You’re a fucking beast!!! I just installed new drivers bc I had problems with the mic today and suddenly my sound was super low! Installed multiple sound boosters but none helped... until this video! Keep up the great work!!!
So my problem is that Realtek High Definition Audio Driver is not in my device manager. It is gone. All that's there is Realtek(R) Audio, Nvidia High Definition Audio, Nvidia Virtual Audio device (Wave extensible), and Intel(R) Display Audio. I connot figure out where it has gone and Realtek device manager is also missing. Both are just gone from my computer. It makes my audio sound off and it's driving me crazy how all these help videos only show you how to highlight and update Realtek High Definition Audio Driver. I don't have it in my device manager. It's missing along with the Realtek Device Manager. It was there before but it's gone. Please, do you have insight on this? No one seems to know.
I'm in the same boat. Could we get some help? Reinstalling the realtek only gets me Realtek(R) audio in device amanger too, then the audio doesn't work unless I uninstall it.
I also have the same problem, I want to see if I unistall Realtek(R) Audio then install realtek high definition and restart the pc it will replace Realtek R Audio with Realtek high definition but it might do something with the sound so am kinda scared, can anyone else try it out?
@@nahidwin521 Hey, I tried that, and the audio didn't work with the high definition version either. When I opened the Realtek device manager, it detected what was plugged, but gave out no sound. I uninstalled it, and wen't back to having audio, but no ability to use my mic.
Hey guys I think this fixed it for me... The realtek audio thing was gone but if you go to control panel -> sound -> right click on high definition audio device -> properties -> Levels you can see a mute button there, for me it was on mute and when i unmuted it worked perfectly fine.
Thank you so much! I haven't been able to use my headphones for a week, and never would have thought of NOT using the Realtek driver. Works just fine now!
I could not see High Definition audio on device manager when I restarted my computer. But my sound now works!!! Thank you so much. I gave up on this issue yesterday after watching 3 different videos and I’m so relieved that your video actually worked.
The problem I have is that when testing if my mic works using the “hear myself” option or anything that’ll let me hear myself talk through my mic will come out well for 2 seconds then start cutting out up to the point where I can’t hear myself talk anymore. I’m hoping this fixes the problem because I feel like I tried everything... Edit: it fixed my issue with my headset mic BUT now my speaker mic has been ringing loudly if I don’t plug my headphones in. Luckily I don’t plan on using the speaker mic so it’s all good.
ok I fixed it, this is what i did, go to time 1:30 and follow the instructions auntil 1:38 then press high definition audio device (double click) ur sound will desappear for a second and then it will come back and fixed, ur welcome
Thank you so much for saving our laptop's audio 💙💙, it really works. This is the only one that works out of the many many many videos that we've watched and this one is not complicated at all. Also, Happy New Year 🎉
OMG after watching ur video about 3 mins in, my whole audio came back!!! I was stressing over what to do and tried to many things. I was worried that my computer was going down the gutter, but u totally revived it and saved Me time especially during my midterms. 😭😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞
thanks a million...i have been searching in vain about my issue with realtek hd audio.. even microsoft help support isn't helpful...your video step by step instructions saves the day
Oh my lord! I had sound issues for almost a year, nothing worked, I gave up hope so many times.. Basically suddenly after a windows 10 update the computer didn't understand that I had two separate devices plugged in when both the speakers and the headset were plugged in. I tried so many complicated things to try to fix the situation, but nothing worked. And then I found this video. Nothing else on the internet told me to switch to High Definition Audio drivers. That was the thing that fixed it. I wish I had found this sooner. I wish I could give this video 100 likes. I'm so happy right now!
I also experienced the bzzzt only I call it “tzzzt” and I just watched someone call it “trrrrt”. But it’s all the same experience lol. This kind of vids are gem right.
I didn’t either. I had two version of realtek. So I chose the older version of realteck high def audio (2016 for me) and it worked. When I updated windows it updated the audio driver but that one (2017) is faulty.
Hi, i just wanted to know whether there is a way to detect headphone mic in the High Definition Audio driver? The thing is that, for me, the realtek drivers come with an application which does the switching from my laptop mic to my headphone mic. Without that application i cannot switch between the 2. Is there a way to detect the headphone mic without the realtek drivers? I thought i would get a sound card(usb) to do the switching but, all of them are cheap and bad. If there was some other method, it would greatly help Thank You!
I did this and I still have the Realtek Drivers for some reason but it still resolved the issue of my headphones being detected as speakers. Thank you!
Gooood thx so much!!!!! This morning i had online lessons with school but my output and input audio weren't working.. now is all resolved. Thx sooo much
God bless you!!!!! My laptop suddenly hve cracking sound during my on9 learning and i abt starter to cry. I watched more than 3 videos bfr but it just doesnt work. And thank god, my audio is fix after i followed ur tuto. THANK YOUUUUUU
Thank you so much Gmodism. Your procedure and concise video enabled me to correct my " no sound to headphones problem in 2 minutes. Microsoft had no,easily found, pertinent fixes. They should hire you as a teacher/ consultant.
Ok I'm glad this has worked for many people but it still hasn't worked for me. When I restart my PC I don't have the "High Definition Audio Device" entry in the list in Device Manager and so it obviously hasn't updated and I have no clue why. Still have no sound!
Yes, guys like you make life easier for all of us!!! Yesterday, I installed Windows 10 Version 2004 and today I noticed a crackling sound. That was very annoying!! I invested a few HOURS already in research and writing an email to the notebook manufacturer but then, thank god, I found your video. A few MINUTES later: problem solved. The next Microsoft update will come for sure, but next time I'm prepared!!! My mood just made a huge leap upwards, I can go to bed and I can sleep peacefully.
Thank you! This did the trick for me. I got a new laptop and the audio sounded like garbage even though it's a high-end model. It sounded very "filtered" even though I had all effects turned off. I tried this recommendation and now the audio sounds how it's supposed to.
THANK YOU !!!!!!! i checked many videos and almost gave up because my microphone was still dead. after changing from Realtek to high definition audio it came back to life!!! Thank you once again!!! Sub worth!!
Thank you so much. Somehow my Realtek audio got deleted during a troubleshooting when I was trying to get my mic to work. I couldn't find any solution until I stumbled upon this video, and now I can hear through my headphones again.
I dont know what Im doing wrong, but when I click update the RealtekR audio to High definition audio device, I restart computer and It didnt change to High definition audio device but it stands on RealtekR audio, please help me
I tried all the steps just not icon option set to no , but didnt work , only few files installs during installation i tried all realtek driver but high definition always there

Tried everything but finally yours tricks worked.
God bless u!!!
Thanks a lot..I can feel the difference when I used your advice when watched your video 1000.000👍🏻
I could not see High Definition audio on device manager when I restarted my computer. But my sound now works!!! Thank you so much. I gave up on this issue yesterday after watching 3 different videos and I’m so relieved that your video actually worked.
Good god, thank you SO MUCH! It really fixed it for me, I was going crazy from the constant crackling. ♥
The problem I have is that when testing if my mic works using the “hear myself” option or anything that’ll let me hear myself talk through my mic will come out well for 2 seconds then start cutting out up to the point where I can’t hear myself talk anymore. I’m hoping this fixes the problem because I feel like I tried everything...
Edit: it fixed my issue with my headset mic BUT now my speaker mic has been ringing loudly if I don’t plug my headphones in. Luckily I don’t plan on using the speaker mic so it’s all good.
Mic still picks up in game sounds and system sounds... Its alright. Worth a shot..
ok I fixed it, this is what i did, go to time 1:30 and follow the instructions auntil 1:38 then press high definition audio device (double click) ur sound will desappear for a second and then it will come back and fixed, ur welcome
Love you!!!!!
Ty bro i was looking for a method u saved me :)
@@Sum1t0882 Einstein who? Lmao🤣

Thank you so much for saving our laptop's audio 💙💙, it really works. This is the only one that works out of the many many many videos that we've watched and this one is not complicated at all. Also, Happy New Year 🎉
OMG after watching ur video about 3 mins in, my whole audio came back!!! I was stressing over what to do and tried to many things. I was worried that my computer was going down the gutter, but u totally revived it and saved Me time especially during my midterms. 😭😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞
That is great for ya!
1:37 didn’t have the “high definition” audio option... what do I do 🙃
Same, have you found any solution yet?
@@himemimi3704 same
At 1:37 i dont have that high definiton audio device?? What can i do????
I’m so glad I found this video. This helped a lot! Thank you so much!
it does help guyyyyyssssss!! I was very excited when the sound pops out omg
Mee too!!!
When I did this, I already had the High Definition Audio Device. What do I do now?
I dont have It dude wtf
Help same
thanks a million...i have been searching in vain about my issue with realtek hd audio.. even microsoft help support isn't helpful...your video step by step instructions saves the day
What it the high definition audio device doesn’t show in the device drivers to install ?! 😩
download it from their website
Oh my lord! I had sound issues for almost a year, nothing worked, I gave up hope so many times.. Basically suddenly after a windows 10 update the computer didn't understand that I had two separate devices plugged in when both the speakers and the headset were plugged in. I tried so many complicated things to try to fix the situation, but nothing worked. And then I found this video. Nothing else on the internet told me to switch to High Definition Audio drivers. That was the thing that fixed it. I wish I had found this sooner. I wish I could give this video 100 likes. I'm so happy right now!
Glad I was helpful mate!
Absolute legend, helped me out to fix the random bzzzt sound and lag I was getting. Bless sweden heh
I had no audio before and he fixed it
I also experienced the bzzzt only I call it “tzzzt” and I just watched someone call it “trrrrt”. But it’s all the same experience lol. This kind of vids are gem right.
thank goodness so many people share my misery
0:53 I dont have the high definition option.. any advice?
I didn’t either. I had two version of realtek. So I chose the older version of realteck high def audio (2016 for me) and it worked. When I updated windows it updated the audio driver but that one (2017) is faulty.
Hi, i just wanted to know whether there is a way to detect headphone mic in the High Definition Audio driver? The thing is that, for me, the realtek drivers come with an application which does the switching from my laptop mic to my headphone mic. Without that application i cannot switch between the 2. Is there a way to detect the headphone mic without the realtek drivers?
I thought i would get a sound card(usb) to do the switching but, all of them are cheap and bad. If there was some other method, it would greatly help Thank You!
I have the same problem
@@michotruth7208 same
I did this and I still have the Realtek Drivers for some reason but it still resolved the issue of my headphones being detected as speakers.
Thank you!
Thank the lord! I messed with my computer so much I got blue screens then found this video and fixed it all. 3 hours later. Lol
Gooood thx so much!!!!! This morning i had online lessons with school but my output and input audio weren't working.. now is all resolved. Thx sooo much
I change my headset bcz i thought it was grounded while i was streaming there’s a frequency sound
God bless you!!!!! My laptop suddenly hve cracking sound during my on9 learning and i abt starter to cry. I watched more than 3 videos bfr but it just doesnt work. And thank god, my audio is fix after i followed ur tuto. THANK YOUUUUUU
You're welcome!
I have a problem that when I enter the device manager, it doesn't show me realtek
me 2
or when i can see it, it says, its isnt pluged in
Wow
This actually worked.
Thanks a lot man.
You're a life saver
You're welcome!
Thank you so much Gmodism. Your procedure and concise video enabled me to correct my " no sound to headphones problem in 2 minutes. Microsoft had no,easily found, pertinent fixes. They should hire you as a teacher/ consultant.
Absolutely!
Ok I'm glad this has worked for many people but it still hasn't worked for me. When I restart my PC I don't have the "High Definition Audio Device" entry in the list in Device Manager and so it obviously hasn't updated and I have no clue why. Still have no sound!
Yes, guys like you make life easier for all of us!!!
Yesterday, I installed Windows 10 Version 2004 and today I noticed a crackling sound. That was very annoying!!
I invested a few HOURS already in research and writing an email to the notebook manufacturer but then, thank god, I found your video. A few MINUTES later: problem solved.
The next Microsoft update will come for sure, but next time I'm prepared!!!
My mood just made a huge leap upwards, I can go to bed and I can sleep peacefully.
Great to hear mate!
OMG, I love you, I've been having this issue, i even installed a fresh windows install and it did not work, you are a lifesaver
Glad it worked!
Omg thank you I was literally about to break my computer I could not figure this out
Thank you! This did the trick for me. I got a new laptop and the audio sounded like garbage even though it's a high-end model. It sounded very "filtered" even though I had all effects turned off. I tried this recommendation and now the audio sounds how it's supposed to.
You don’t know how amazing and clutch you are
Clear and easy to follow vid. Glad I didn't have to install any drivers, because my internet is trash. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped
After hours of frustration over audio driver issues, this tip really fixed my laptop's audio, thanks man!
Thanks!

Thank you so much. Somehow my Realtek audio got deleted during a troubleshooting when I was trying to get my mic to work. I couldn't find any solution until I stumbled upon this video, and now I can hear through my headphones again.
Thank you so very much..I was about to go the repair shop but I just gave a try to your process..It worked out so well....
God bless you....
Thank you! Fixed my problem where my mic was working well with most apps except MS Teams. Much appreciated.
I dont know what Im doing wrong, but when I click update the RealtekR audio to High definition audio device, I restart computer and It didnt change to High definition audio device but it stands on RealtekR audio, please help me
FIXED for me. I just changed from Realtek High Definition Audio > High Definition Audio Device and it worked. Thank you
