1) Right-click on the Start menu button and select Device Manager.
2) In Device Manager, expand the category “Sound, video and game controllers”. Right-click on the Realtek Audio entry and select Update driver.
3) Select Search automatically for drivers, then Windows will search your computer for a newer driver and install it on your computer.
