REALTEK HD AUDIO WIN7 X64 v2.75
johnniedooMay 28, 2014
Pros
I go directly to the Realtek site when I see these updates. I have Gigabyte boards which employ the Realtek set up and are still back on 2.71r or 2.73r. I try to keep the drivers, at least , updated. One board is 890fxa ud5 and the other is 990fxa ud3, both have the same alc889 but the 990 has a far more extensive dobly pc ht interface. i download the exact same thing from realtek but the 2 boards have 2 separate and different dolby set ups and functions. peecee4 drivers get installed in the 990 but not the 890. I have not had any real issues with any of the drivers or updates going back to 2.60 in these boards. So,the updates are just for routine updating. i can always roll back easy enough. they installs are 2 part and totally automatic. only troubles i had is then the installer uninstalled in part 1, and blue screened or failed to successfully reboot after the uninstall part. not with this latest (2.75 version) on either machine. so far , so good. but no changes, good or bad.
Cons
Not any in version 2.75 from realtek link. I see some reports of added software and junk being installed. I never have the issue. i just get the installer package from the realtek site and it takes care of the uninstall-reboot, install-reboot and the change is done. nothing else but drivers and software updates .the process has been very smooth and easy since v2.71. i am not sure bout the download.com and /or what they tack on and whether an opt out dialogue box is added. I do not use that method anymore. only a direct realtek site download. easy enough to find and accomplish, and have been safe and clean for years
Summary
All my comments are contained in the above pro and con boxes. Not much more to add. I stopped using any download . com downloads due to the junk additions , whether an opt out choice is made available or not. i do not like the safe download thing, small download.com downloader that then takes care of the download and security and virus scanning as well as adding additional software to the download and install process.
Does the trick

Cons
Does not give you the codec.

Downloaded this for the actual Utility tool except all it gives is a bloody driver. Waste of time.
Not much difference....

Nice upgrade.
ronrwr26November 12, 2011
Pros
Download from CNET was easy and went well. Installation of the upgrade worked fine. At start of install a dialog tells you there will be 2 reboots. I had to reboot 3 times... no problem. The improvement in sound quality is noticeable. Be sure to take the time to check all the SETTINGS incorporated into this new package. Quite a few nice additions there.
Cons
None. Nice improvement all around.
Summary
It's worth taking the time to download and install this new package. Thanks CNET and Realtek!
