I restarted, and after some time, Realtek Audio still reappeared in Device Manager.. but the Realtek folders are empty. Nonetheless, my issue of extremely muddy audio is fixed somehow. Thank you! | |

To undo this and get the Realtek driver back: double-click the "Realtek" folder you created, choose "Continue" to restore access and delete the folder. If necessary go to Device Manager and update the driver from there if it doesn't install automatically. | |

Here's how to permanently get rid of the Realtek driver: ① disable, disconnect or unplug any internet connection to prevent Windows from reinstalling the driver, ② uninstall "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" and restart to make sure it's gone, ③ go to C:\Program Files and create a new folder called "Realtek", ④ open the properties dialog, go to the "Security" tab and click on "Advanced", ⑤ click on "Change Permissions", then "Disable inheritance", and in the new dialog select "Remove all inherited permission from this object", ⑥ click on "OK" and "Yes" etc. to apply the changes.

| Aug 11, 2015 at 8:37 | comment | added | private_meta | @Tetsujin I wouldn't know. I didn't have the old Realtek control panel installed before Windows 10, and Windows 10 just automatically installed it (over and over and over again). I found a workaround with the control panel and will post it later | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 8:08 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Does the old Realtek driver/control panel work for you correctly when reinstalled? Mine was totally silent until I installed the new Win10 version, but that lost all the 5.1 setup, delays, EQ etc that I used to rely on with the older version. | |
