Intel Realtek ALC Audio Driver is an all-one package that can activate the OS support for integrated Realtek audio chipset in a wide variety of Intel desktop motherboards. By installing this driver, you can instantly gain access to the audio processing capabilities of the built-in Realtek audio processing unit that is today commonly found in hundreds of millions of PCs all around the world.

This includes the support for stereo and surrounds sound playback, microphone input, support for sound via HDMI, support for many advanced audio codecs that are used today in physical and digital multimedia, and many other services and effects that are part of the modern Realtek offering.

Before you install this driver, make sure that your Intel Desktop Board product name is supported by the driver release of your choice. Additionally, you should also make sure to download only the driver package that is certified for your version of the Windows OS.

Intel Realtek ALC Audio Drivers usually come certified either for Windows XP or for Windows 7/8. Windows 10 support is not officially present, but a vast majority of Windows 7 drivers can work on this newer version of OS.

The driver installation procedure is simple and intuitive, requiring users only to download and start the installer package and follow simple on-screen instructions. During the installation, the OS will recognize what driver needs to be matched to your onboard Realket chipset hardware and install only the system files that are needed for your particular hardware configuration.

In the event that you have downloaded a driver package that does not support your motherboard audio hardware, the installer will notify you and cancel the procedure.

In the event of driver failure that may lead to the inability of the OS to detect audio hardware, stop outputting sound correctly, or experiencing unexpected audio errors, users are recommended to attempt to return to the last known stable System Restore point.

Also, users may try to reinstall the driver or download a newer version of the driver that potentially brings with them better stability, bug fixes, and new audio features.

The supported motherboards in the intel Realtek ALC Audio Driver 6.0.1.7040 are:
