How do I get my Realtek Audio Driver back on my HP laptop? It has completely disappeared. It is no longer in the Device Driver to add back or update. Ive tried to find the device driver by going to to device manager there is no audio to choose from and when I go down to the sound it only shows Bluetooth devices that are not in use anymore.

Thank you

Robyn F

    Press Windows key + R and type mmsys.cpl

    Do any sound devices appear?

    Hello Jonathan,

    I have restarted my computer and I still and not able to find the audio. I don't know what else to do at this point. I thank you so much for your help. It has taken me all day to figure out how to get back to this thread to respond to you after restarting my computer.

    If you have any other suggestions please let me know thank you so much again.

    The file in the link I sent above is just the installer, download and run it to install it.

    When the installation is complete, restart your computer.

    Click on the start menu and select settings

    Go to System > Sound

    Select the output device and see if the problem persists.

    Ok Jonathan, I think it has extracted but I'm not sure where to look. outside of the c:\SWSetup$SP154185. I don't know what to do from here.
