Hi All,

 

I had a PC with  Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E7600, I recently updated the Windows on it from Windows 7 to windows 10.

But since the upgrade I am having issues with the audio drivers, the system says drivers ae upto date, but in the device manager I am unable to locate the Realtek drivers.

 

Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

please assist on it, what drivers needs to be installed and updated.

 

Regards,
Syed

This has nothing to do with your processor which, by the way, is not supported on Windows 10.

You will need to go to the system/motherboard manufacturer site and check for a driver for your board/system.

Al is correct; this has absolutely nothing to do with your processor. The answer to this question is dependent upon what Realtek audio CODEC is provided on your motherboard. After consulting your motherboard documentation to determine what CODEC is present, you can look on the Realtek site for driver support for this CODEC.

Now, I have to warn you that, in some cases, there simply are no Windows 10 drivers for older CODECs (alas, they are not supported forever and you motherboard (and processor) is 13-14 years old). If this is the case, you may have to add a more-modern PCI/PCIe audio card to your system in order to have audio work.
