In version 1.85, the surround sound check box changes to headphone virtualization in the HD audio manager control panel when headphones are plugged in, but the frequency response is unchanged. And for v1.85 drivers, plugging in headphones has NO effect on the frequency response, even though the drivers know headphones are plugged in. However, the full-range speakers check box has NO effect on the frequency response. The blue curve should be the frequency response for full-range speakers or headphones. In both images, the red curve should be the frequency response for limited range laptop speakers. The second image is for the Realtek v1.85 drivers.

The first image below is the frequency response for Toshiba's OEM version of the Realtek v1.60 drivers. My headset is "BENGOO V-4 Gaming Headset for Xbox One, PS4, PC.If your Windows Vista Realtek HD audio codec has poor bass response, the following information may be useful. Do I have to try updating BIOS(current 0232), or figure it out "Realtek High Definition Audio (HDA) Version R2.8x (9132.1) WHQL" driver and "UAD/HDA"? So now I'm stuck, I installed the asus version back and don't know what to do. Of course, the promised "Realtek HD audio manager" is still missing. and that usb 2.0 is back without microphone boost again. After erasing my audio driver I install that driver. I followed some india guy's video in youtube and it leads me to Staiton Drivers website to download seemly latest driver "Realtek High Definition Audio (HDA) Version R2.8x (9132.1) WHQL". The driver in device manager shows "Realtek USB Audio" It has the microphone boost option which allowed me to boost my input about 20 to 30db, but it came with new issue: I have horrible echo in steam mic test (mic input capture my headset output) and Realtek audio manager was never installed(not in control panel or program file) - I cannot use audio manager to possibly fix the echo issue. The driver in device manager shows "Realtek USB 2.0" or something.Īfter struggle I manage to found the seemly latest driver in motherboard's website, Realtek_Audio_Driver_V.2276_WIN10_64-bit (published on 7). My motherboard is ASUS ROG STRIX z590-e gaming wifi, after I built up my pc I found my headset mic input was really really low, none can hear me, I have to yell to make the bar move in mic test and there was no Microphone boost option in taskbar Sound -> Recording -> Properties -> Levels. I have this new build windows 10 pc with really annoying mic input problem.
