Realtek UAD Driver AIO Pack

This package is meant to be all in one installer of Realtek Universal Audio Driver (UAD) for all OEM with all software components. It's just a repack of UAD driver provided on Microsoft Update Catalog to be manually installable.

Compatibility

This Realtek UAD Driver AIO Pack should install and function properly on all systems with Realtek audio controller released in 2018 or later. For Realtek Legacy HDA FF00 drivers, use this mod - Realtek Generic UAD. If not sure about your audio IC generation, try to install this driver package first. This installer will let you know if a device is not supported.

[Note: If Realtek Generic UAD used with devices relying on special audio enhancements; functionality and feature set available may be limited.]

     • Launch DDU

Launch Driver Store Explorer, then select any drivers whose Provider is "Realtek", "Dolby", "DTS", "Creative", "A-Volute", "HDX" etc. in the "Sound, Video and Game Controllers", "Extensions", "Software Components" and "Audio Processing Objects" device categories.

Project motivation

Microsoft's notorious update system doesn't update driver outside of first install. Even than usually offer one or two years old driver. Newer driver updates may be listed in optional update. Also, installing newer driver through Windows update installs them on older driver without removing. This package is an effort to provide people a clean driver install.
