Realtek Audio Console cannot install?

Realtek Audio Console requires Realtek HD Audio (UAD) driver. If you want to install the Realtek Audio Console successfully, you need to have Realtek HD Audio (UAD) driver installed on your computer. If not, you might encounter issues like the common 803FB005 error.

Info: There are two kinds of Realtek audio drivers. The most common is the Realtek HD audio driver. In Device Manager, you probably see it display as "Realtek High Definition Audio". The less common is the Realtek HD Audio (UAD) driver. In Device Manager, you probably see it display as "Realtek(R) Audio".

If you don’t have the UAD driver installed, you can download and install it manually. The best place to download the Realtek HD Audio (UAD) driver is from your computer manufacturer (Dell, Lenovo, Asus, HP, etc.) or motherboard manufacturer (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Asrock, etc.). Go to their official website and navigate to the Support page or Download page. Then download the latest Realtek audio driver there.

After installing the Realtek UAD driver, try to install Realtek Audio Console from Microsoft Store again.

If Way 1 doesn’t work for you, you can try Way 2 to download Realtek Audio Console.

What If Your Motherboard Manufacturer Doesn’t Allow You to Download Realtek Audio Console?

Please note that not all motherboard manufacturers allow you to download the Realtek Audio Console on their official website. If you can’t get the Realtek Audio Console installer from your motherboard manufacturer’s website, you can go get the installer from ASUS’s website.

You can follow the steps above, searching with the keywords “asus b360m plus gaming s driver“, downloading the Realtek audio driver package from ASUS’s website and installing the Realtek Audio Console.

No compatibility issues will happen even if you download the installer file from other motherboard manufacturers. In this way, you’ll download and install Realtek Search Console successfully.
