As of today, audio technology has improved a lot and has come up with new high definition sound technology that is not simply better, it is unmatched. You must be familiar with stereo sound in which two channels were used to make the listener feel sound to be coming from various directions. With the advent of Digital Sound Technology such as DTS, Dolby and Surround Sound, it is not possible to take full advantage only with a stereo driver installed on your pc. You need high definition drivers in order to enjoy such audio, video.

Realtek has been always leading in audio drivers/codes and has come up with high definition dirvers as well. The Realtek High Definition Audio Driver 6.0 will provide you with listening capabilities for multichannel sound such as DTS, Dolby and Surround.

Now you can experience the movie theater like audio experience inside your room/home. You must have visited theaters equipped with latest sound systems and must have enjoyed great movies that have there sound tracks on DTS, Dolby, Surround Sound. With a High Definition Audio Driver you can recreate the same effect using your PC and speaker systems.

Realtek HD Audio Driver comes with a huge bundle of features. Among the variety of features it provides, i have listed some of them. It is a solution for six channel DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). It supports 16/20/24-bit PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) format for 5.1 channel audio. It meets performance requirements for Microsoft WLP 3.08 Vista premium. Realtek HD Audio Driver supports 44.1k/48k/96kHz S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format) output through which you can connect the output of a DVD player to a home theater receiver. It supports legacy analog input to analog output mixer.

Besides the above hardware features the following software features are also supported. It is compatible with Windows Vista Premium (complies with Microsoft WLP 3.08 specifications). Direct Sound A3D, I3DL2 and 3D compatible. Now enjoy a fantastic gaming experience as Realtek has emulation of 26 sound environments to enhance gaming environment.

Before you download Realtek HD audio driver, check if you have Direct X version 8 installed. If not then please install direct X or else the installation will fail.

Quality of sound also depends on the type of sound system attached to your PC. If you have only dual channel usual speaker systems attached to your PC then you will not be able to get full advantage of this HD driver.
  • Supports 5.1 Channel Audio System
  • Features Dolby Digital Live and DTS CONNECT software
  • Features Dolby Home Theater software
  • Installation of Realtek HD audio driver has a dependency on DirectX8. If you do not have it, the installation fails.

This DRIVER has completely messed up my machine. I had to restore the original
sound driver. It should look for SYSTEM compatibility before installing
itself on one's system. Just a ridiculous waiver on their site is not sufficient nor
very professional.

Comment: Been looking for months for a compatible sound driver for the Intel board on the MacBookPro (MBP) 17". Windows XP in bootcamp installed Realteck AC97 sound driver. When I install n Windows 98SE the A4.06 AC 97 from Realtek site, does not install correct. Downloaded sp22521.exe from HP Presario web site. but it does not work on the MBP.
I do not find any drivers on this site for W98 for Realtek.
Does anyone know if W98 drivers are here?
Does anyone know a sound driver which will work on the MBP with W98?

Your Thread Title says "High Definition" - so "AC97" drivers will not help you - get the correct ones from Realtek.
