It is imperative to figure out what kind of software it is, what are the main rules for setting it up and whether it is needed at all. There are many problems with this manager, the most common situation is when the program cannot be found in the control panel.
In the very postscript "HD" lies an explanation of high quality. It was created exclusively for Realtek sound cards so that the sound quality was at a high level. This is where the knowledge of this software ends for many users. However, it is not only a sound enhancement program with some nice effects.
Note! This software includes a whole package of drivers that are responsible for the correct operation of the entire sound system of the user's PC.

- the user does not have problems with setting up different sound formats. Now he does not need to install various additional programs and search for playback errors;
- the sound becomes more “clean”, its quality improves noticeably;
- if the user resorts to voice search or messages, and also often records his voice, then it will sound clearer, recognition will improve;
- this is a real boon for gamers who play games with surround sound. Using this software gives you complete immersion in the atmosphere;
- all devices that have the "Plug & Play" standard are no longer a problem for the user.
The application of this controller is universal. The software is suitable for both devices from the manufacturer "Realtek", and from other creators. In this case, no problems will occur.
Where can I find it on my computer
The dispatcher is a system element, therefore, it is located in the control panel, which can be accessed through the "Start" button. In some cases (usually it happens immediately after installation), this applet is placed in the system tray, while it is always active and runs in the background.
It is very common that the Realtek HD Manager is not in the Control Panel. The problem does not always lie in an outdated version of the operating system. It is likely that the user either installed the wrong distribution or downloaded it incorrectly, resulting in problems.
If the dispatcher could not be found
It is likely that this software is not installed on the system. This is a common practice, since this dispatcher does not belong to the set of standard drivers.
To solve this problem, you need to visit the official verified website of the developer, find "Hot Downloads" and click on the item "High Definition Audio Codecs". The next step is to manually install this software on your computer.
How to install "Realtek HD" on your PC
To perform these actions, no additional knowledge is required, the system will do everything itself.
Experts recommend that you restart your computer immediately after installation so that the program starts working correctly. If nothing has changed after the steps taken, you need to return to the developer's website and find additional packages by following the same installation steps.
When downloading, it is important to pay attention to the postscript "drivers only". She says that only the drivers themselves are being downloaded, while the dispatcher will not be installed.
In the screenshot above, at the very bottom, you can find the desired Realtek SoundBack.
Note! If, after installing the software, it is still not visible, then it is likely that the point is to turn off its display.
Now the user needs to restart the computer again. The dispatcher should appear in the control panel.
Dispatcher sound settings
Once the dispatcher is found, the correct settings must be entered for proper operation. All key parameters relate to various effects, as well as the location where the user is located.
Note! In choosing a sampling rate, it is best to choose 48000 Hz. But the depth of sound is most often advised to set 24 bits.
Although these indicators are generally accepted, the user can change the parameters at his discretion.
Installing codecs
Codecs are installed in order to get a deeper and more pleasant sound. In this case, you won’t have to download anything, since the dispatcher will provide any audio or video format with good sound.
If you wish, you can still download the K-Lite program, which includes a wide variety of codecs. Experts recommend stopping at the Mega Codec Pack version.
Finally
It is worth noting that this dispatcher, as well as drivers, is very useful for those users who prefer to listen to music and watch videos with perfect sound. The program interface is intuitive, the settings do not cause difficulties.
Some users of the Windows 10 operating system claim that all these parameters can be configured without a manager, but in the system itself. The modern version really provides such an opportunity, but at the same time, all the useful functions are brought together in the software itself, which is very convenient to use.
If, during correct operation, the sound suddenly disappeared, then do not rush to update the system. It is possible that the speakers or headphones were not connected quite correctly, due to which the sound disappears from time to time. It is important to correctly identify the socket on the panel. Manufacturers often make plugs and sockets the same color to make it easier for users to navigate.
If you have problems with installation and launch, the above tips will perfectly help you cope. But if the user has not achieved the desired result, then there is a high probability that the installed sound card is not supported on his computer. In this case, all actions with reinstallation or editing the registry will not lead to the expected result.
