The quality of recent Realtek sound controller and audio drivers has taken a nosedive in recent years, and the automatically installed drivers on Windows 10 have introduced a significant delay in the time it takes for sound to come out of the speakers after it is initiated by the PC. This lag, once noticed, becomes incredibly annoying and can be a constant source of stress and irritation. This problem has been especially noticeable by users of Deal XPS 13 and 15 models as well as users of the Dell Precision 5520 and Dell Precision 3520 models, which are especially susceptible to this problem. The problem is especially noticeable when the sound card hasn’t been “warmed up” and a sound (such as that triggered by an alert) is played after some silence, in which case it can take almost a full second for the sound to be played.

Fortunately there is good news: Microsoft has “generic” audio drivers for all high-definition audio devices – including Realtek’s – that work significantly better. There’s no downside to this, except that you will have to manually install them now and after any Windows update that reinstalls the default Realtek audio drivers. The instructions below will walk you through the process.

Installing the Microsoft High-Definition Audio Device Drivers

Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers are a leading set of drivers for Windows computers. It comes in handy while playing audio, improving the sound quality of movies or games. The Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, enables playing high-quality stereo audio with a resolution of up to 24-bit. I am upgrading from an old HP Laptop to a new Acer desktop. The both have Windows 10 version 1803. The old computer has a 'Sound Video and Game Controller' in 'Device Manger'. The driver called 'High Definition Audio' powers my generic speakers with my old computer. But the 'High Definition Audio' driver is not on my new computer!

  1. Launch the device manager by searching for “Device Manager” in the start menu
  2. Expand the “Sound, video, and game controllers” node to locate the “Realtek Audio” device, then right-click it and choose “Properties”
  3. In the resulting dialog, switch to the “Driver” tab then select “Update Driver”
  4. Choose the “Browse my computer for driver software” option
  5. Choose “Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer”
  6. Uncheck the “Show compatible hardware” option to force the display to include drivers not written by Realtek (all versions of which are affected by this problem)
  7. Select “Microsoft” in the first listbox on the left (the list of manufacturers) then select “High-definition audio device” from the resulting list in the listbox on the left (the devices), then click “Next”
  8. A warning dialog will appear, attempting to dissuade you from selecting a driver not written by Realtek and expressly intended for the sound card in your PC. That is OK, we are using Microsoft’s own drivers and they’re guaranteed to work, so press “Yes” to continue
  9. Windows will begin updating the driver and installing the one you selected. Depending on the speed of your PC, this may take a minute or two, but it should complete on its own without any intervention, and then you’ll see an “Audio Drivers Installed” dialog confirming the update has completed
  10. At this point, close the driver dialog and the device manager, and then restart your PC to complete the process
  11. Restart your PC to complete the process. You may or may not see a prompt asking you to do so, but you should restart in all cases

The Realtek HD Audio Drivers are official installation files for computers containing audio chipsets by Realtek.

Whether or not the manufacturer of the laptop or desktop provide their own drivers, Realtek's drivers will generally work fine but without the customizations that are provided with the original software. In most cases, these are minor and the trade-off of using the Realtek HD Audio Driver versus the ones that come pre-installed is having a more stable, and sometimes more customizable audio experience.

You can manage the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver within the device manager of Windows, though being OEM, it might be difficult to access settings without diving in deep.
