I have noticed that the INF file (applicable to my motherboard audio codec) in the 8023 driver package has this comment written at the top:; X-Fi MB3 Hardware ID locking X-Fi obviously refers to Creative hardware but what's Hardware ID locking all about? I realise the official recommendation for this problem would be to only install drivers supplied by the motherboard maker but this is the first time I've had compatibility issues with a new Realtek driver. I'd love to get to the bottom of these recent driver changes. Anyone with any insight or ideas?I found 7 INFs commented with Hardware ID Locking including (not the complete list).

Code: Creative MB2 Hardware ID lockingD-company X-Fi MB3 Hardware ID lockingSoundBlaster Cinema 3 Hardware ID locking (M-company ESS case) I also found this from thread Sounds like some Realtek drivers include licensed features that only run on specific h/w (maybe locked based on audio chip h/w id?). Do you have any of the licensed features?

Sounds like the bundled the driver files together into a single INF but licensed features only available from specific h/w ids.Most likely some Creative sound card models (probably USB) use Realtek chipsets instead of Creative's proprietary. This is a more convincing explanation than telling Realtek uses Creative's technology.

Well, Creative started all sound card trend with first Sound Blaster. I had me one of those first ones, it included connector for proprietary CD player.

Sound was lousy and noisy as hell but it worked. Couple of interesting programs came with it, Dr Sbaitsu and Parrot.

In those early PCs AT keyboard controller was actually a sound chip, there was a driver for Windows 3.1 to use it as default sound device thru speaker connected to MB and used as POST sound device. Only after few years came out outrageously priced Turtle Beach and others.

I'm using an ASROCK H61M-HVS with VIA HD onboard audio. Noticed that the default drivers windows installs for it are completely fucked.

Enhancements don't work at all, and it keeps defaulting to headphones (front jack) even when you only have speakers plugged in. To fix; • Right click your start button, click system, and then go to advanced system settings • Go to hardware tab and go to device installation settings • Click no, then click Never install device software, then click okay. • Open Device Manager • Go under the sound field, select VIA HD Audio, and uninstall the driver, then restart your computer. • Go to - download the.diagcab file. (Windows 10 has removed the ability to blacklist updates without using this file) • Go through the steps and choose to ignore the VIA HD Audio update that is queued up. Congratulations, your sound drivers now work properly.

Update for Windows 10 Threshold - 15NOV15 • Open device manager • Go under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers • Open VIA HD Audio, click uninstall • Click action, scan for new hardware changes • Wait for VIA HD audio to show up again • Open VIA HD Audio, go to second tab • Rollback drivers • Open wushowhide • Blacklist VIA HD Audio update • • • • •. I could not get this to work for the life of me. Worked on it for at least 45 minutes with rollbacks, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. What DID work was changing the entire thing to High Definition Audio Device. Go into Device Manager >Sound, Video, and Game Controllers Select the VIA HD Audio entry, right click, select 'Update Driver Software' Choose 'Browse my computer for driver software' Choose 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer' Select 'High Definition Audio Device', reboot and everything should work again if nothing else worked. Dude, thank you so much for sharing this!!

I have an Asus G75VW laptop with the VIA HD chipset. It experiences similar problems to what you describe: audio always coming out the speakers no matter what.

This driver didn't fix that exactly, but the HD Vdeck application will run now (would not launch before) and I was able to mute the speakers, and my headphones work properly. I never used the speakers anyway, so this is a great improvement for me. [EDIT] - Sorry to partially hijack your thread with an only-partially related issue. Here is an update for anyone who finds this while searching for help. I still ended up having problems with this driver, but your tip about uwshowhide.diagcab is money!!! My fix for G75VW laptop that seems to be (mostly) working: • Uninstall VIA drivers, tell Windows to delete driver files too.

• Completely uninstalled EVERYTHING having to do with VIA audio. • Manually deleted every driver file from everywhere. (Required booting to safe mode for a couple of files). • Reboot - Windows detects the audio as 'High Definition Audio Device' • Use wushowhide.diagcab to disable VIA Windows Update installation • If Windows Update already installed the VIA driver, manually roll it back using the device manager. The speakers don't sound quite right, I don't think the built-in sub-woofer is working, but the headphones sound great, and the laptop automatically switches between headphones and speakers when I plug/unplug the headphones.

Come on, VIA - get us a real driver!! My SOLUTION I installed the latest Windows 8.1 drivers from year 2012. No more disabling enhancements message and the equalizer works perfectly. Also I can unify output for speakers and headphones, which makes it less complicated to choose sound-output destination (using the VIA HD Audio Deck settings - use the advanced options with the screw driver symbol).

The following things have to be considered: • look above point 2 (and following) of AFEVIS fix proposal. The settings influence the ability to install drivers at all and whether windows decides to update them on non-individual measures - you might need to rollback drivers in case windows eruates to have a newer better suited driver (which possibly doesn't work too). Possibly disabling Windows Update driver updates here prevents installation of newer defective drivers.

• AFEVIS mentioned the tool in point 6 to possibly successful ignore such drivers. In case this doesn't work you still have to rollback unwanted newer drivers. • The driver names are: 'VIA High Definition Audio' -- working driver from 2012 (windows 8.1) 6.0.10.1200 'VIA HD Audio' -- enhancement error, standard after windows installation 6.0.11.800 'VIA HD Audio(Win10)' -- newer driver from Windows Update not working 6.0.11.1000 'High Definition Audio' -- the generic Microsoft HD driver has no equalizer 10.0.4 • Uninstall non-working drivers (check to delete source too).

After the last driver the system will switch to the MS generic HD driver (the source of which you cannot delete), Then install the 8.1 driver and set to disable windows updates for drivers. Just signed up because the download link seems to be missing [least for me] and other links slightly confusing so to save others getting it from shady sources here is direct download link from VIA To get this link yourself go to the following page and do the following 1.
