Windows 10 preventing Realtek drivers from fully opening & operating.
Hi,
is your Windows 10 up to date?
I have MSI motherboard which also has Realtek sound card, I don't download it from the manufacturer website, they are lazy and don't always stay up to date, instead I download the Realtek driver that is for general purpose, and latest version, and I have access to all the options in the Realtek HD audio manager software.
I don't know how Realtek manages their drivers but I can't find the driver in their site.
for years I've been using this website to get the latest drivers, I suggest you do the same. it's my go to website when I'm looking for a driver. Windows update automatically installs all of my drivers but I install this Realtek software to use some of its extra features.

at the moment the latest version is here:
you only need to download the one that says "Realtek HD Audio Driver WHQL" and it is the latest version.
don't need to download the one that says "Windows Vista,7/8/8.1/10: New and fresh installation on PC"
let me know how it goes. make sure to uninstall all the previous Realtek drivers before installing a new one from that site.
