My Realtek suddenly vanished after restart. I couldn't find a fix so I uninstalled it then reinstalled it but when it restarted my pc it didn't do anything. I have no audio without Realtek hd audio manager. I can't find it anywhere not in my C/programfiles/realtek not in device manager not in control panel. I've reinstalled the hd manager like 20 times and every time does nothing. The one place I found the name Realtek was in device manager, add legacy hardware but when I tried to add it my system would blue screen every time without fail. I have no idea how to fix it where I can reinstall it correctly. Keep in mind I'm not really good with computers.

    Can you share your PC system Information instead?

    Press Win key R > type and enter: msinfo32 > take a screenshot of the window that will pop up and share it here.

    Thanks.

    Hi AudioBroke-_- ,

    I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    The Legacy driver might not be compatible with the Realtek Audio device.

    May I know your PC make and exact model so that I can help you find the compatible Realtek Audio driver?

    Thanks.
