Today, Realtek rolled out a new version of its HD Audio package, namely 2.78, which comes after little more than a week since the previous Realtek HD Audio Driver 2.77 release and applies the 6.0.1.7512 audio driver.

In terms of compatibility, this update includes support for the same OSes: both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems, as well as its latest Windows 10 platform.

However, since other OSes might also be compatible, you should know that installing Realtek’s update on platforms other than the aforementioned ones isn’t recommended. Doing so might lead to malfunctions.

Thus, if you intend to apply driver 2.77, first download the appropriate package suitable for your system configuration, run it, and wait for all required files to be extracted.

Afterwards, just follow all on-screen instructions for a complete and successful upgrade, and don’t forget to give the wizard permission to perform a system reboot. If this task isn’t requested, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually; this allows the changes to take effect properly.

That being said, download Realtek HD Audio Driver 2.78 for your system’s bit architecture, apply it on your device, and check our website as often as possible in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
