can't install realtek audio driver

george_1431 · 10-23-2009, 08:50 AM

My existing audio driver is Conexant and I want to replace it with realtek driver coz the sound was not that good. After installation I found out that it does not sound at all and an error occurred saying the device is not starting (code.. something.. I don't know) My question is: Does it have to do with service pack compatibility or something else? Need asap..it's quiet out here..thanks in advance

is the device compatible with realtek audio drivers.

you can't just put any old sound drivers on your pc they have to be compatible with the device
