Headphones don't work with RealTek drivers and Windows 10

Question

Ever since upgrading to Windows 10 my headphones no longer work.

The headphones work in other devices. They work while in Linux, so the port is fine.

I have an Asus UX32VD, and Asus has stopped releasing driver updates.

I have a Realtek sound card.

Driver is 6.0.1.7541, x64 R2.79 downloaded from here:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Updating the driver through Device Manager DOES update the driver, but the updated driver has the same issue.

Here is a screenshot of all my settings:

Answer 1

I searched online for some more recent drivers and found these:

Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7624 WHQL

ftp://spcust:[email protected]..._Win7_WHQL.zip

Win 7,8,8.1,10 x32/64 PackageVersion = PG435 DriverVer= 09/25/2015, 6.0.1.7624

Try to install these and look if it may help your issue.

Answer 2

Well, it looks like RealTek JUST released a new driver as of this writing - 10/12/2015.

6.0.1.7628

Installed it and now my headphones work.
