Realtek Driver Update Tips

Posted On : Sep-04-2011 | seen (417) times | Article Word Count : 432 |

Realtek Driver updates may be done in several ways; learn here some of the best ways.

“Do not update your device driver if it is not broken” or “Do not update your device driver if not required”. I think most computer users do this, I myself is guilty of this.

In terms of Realtek Audio driver (considered most trusted Audio device especially as motherboard built in Audio device). Your sounds may just stopped working, you hear scratching sounds or new application of games you have installed requires your sound card driver to be updated.

Option 1 – Manufacturer’s download or support page
Here is how:
1. Open your browser to and download realtek drivers.
2. Choose required driver on the left pane “Computer Peripheral ICs” >> PC Audio codecs >> AC’97 Audio Codec
3. Check “I accept to the above”
4. You’ll be transferred to “Software: Drivers & Utilities” page.
5. Choose desired driver for your device then click the download site to start downloading the file.
6. Most of packages from this site are usually self extractor so you just need to double click it to start installation.

This option may be considered to be the best but may not be the easiest.

Option 2 – Windows Update with Driver update.
1. Open your browser to microsoft.com it is Microsoft windows update site.
2. Windows update by default would download available driver for your device. No need to do any at this point.
3. Click Update/download to start downloading and updating. This process most of the time takes considerable long depending on number of available updates.
4. After downloading Windows will automatically install all the updates including driver update.

This is free and easy, however you need to be very careful with driver updates coming from Windows update as there are reported case of malfunction after the update. I also hate the fact that drivers from windows update are basic and files only which means there will be no management tool for your device.

Option 3 – Use of Driver Tool
1. Download the tool from xpdrivers.com, for Realtek Driver check out the same site.
2. Install the application
3. Use the application. This tool has one button to check and validate all your drivers.

This option for me is the best. Why would you trouble yourself if you could have it with ease? I like using trusted tool to do long and tedious task fast and easy. Time is more important for me. Hence; if you are like me who opt to be more efficient and save a few dollars, follow these simple steps.
