Hah. Just installed it on my Y50 yesterday, also had the horrifying transformers distortion sound. I think it only started after windows update replaced the drivers.

Dual-booted so not a huge deal for me to wait for a definite fix.

[drjekel_mrhyde]

Atleast you're getting sound. My driver from Microsoft, Realtek, and Lenovo just won't install

[hotphil]

Try putting the extracted inf files in %windir%\system32 or %windir%\system32\drivers, uninstall from Device Manager and then reboot.

seems to be a problem with AMD boards.

I have got the same issue on GA-970A-D3 motherboard (Via soundcard)
Sometimes there is sound in all programs, but mostly the is no sound at all or there is no sound in IE VLC and games.

This fixes the problem. Someone needs to sticky this at the beginning of the thread because that worked perfectly.

[ilariazeta]

thank you!!! My audio is back!!!

[milkyway]

does anyone here have a external audio interface? My Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 (Firewire) isn't working anymore with the new build. It shows the two LEDs for "powered" and "firewire connected" but when I try to play music (browser, Winamp) the app freezes and the interface loses the connection.
I reinstalled the drivers and restarted the PC several times but I didn't manage to get it to work till now

ASUS N55S

[Jaime Furtado]

Same with me. It was working fine until the new update this morning (10041).

It may be trying to (re)install the old drivers. Might be worth checking, and deleting/moving the old driver files.

I have built in Realtek High Defenition Audio device (VEN_10EC&DEV_0269) with latest driver available (v. 6.0.1.7458).
But I have no sound and system says that I have no audio device installed.

I`ve tried default windows driver - no result.
I`ve tried download Realtek driver from official web site - no result.
Just - no audio device.

Hey everyone, thanks for creating this thread. Wanted to let you know that we're listening and I've forwarded this thread to some of our audio-experts so you should see them chiming in shortly to gather more info

hi gifffdeev! my external audio interface doesn't work anymore with the new build (Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 (Firewire)). It shows the two LEDs for "powered" and "firewire connected" but when I try to play music (browser, Winamp) the app freezes/crashes and then the interface loses the connection.
I reinstalled the drivers for the Saffire and restarted the PC several times but I didn't manage to get it to work till now.
Do you have anything on Firewire connected audio problems?

I am also experiencing Realtek audio issues after installing build 10041 on a Lenovo Thinkcenter desktop. The driver will not install it all. Either by using Windows Update or attempting to update the drive through the Device Manager. Uninstalling the item has no effect either. The error reported during driver installation is 0x800705b4

[Robert Eugene]

I got the problem figured out. I went to the Realtek website and downloaded their drivers for Windows 8.1, it comes in either 32 bit or 64 bit depending on your computer. Once I downloaded it, I opened it, and installed the driver, the problem was corrected. Only hick up I ran into is that once the driver installed, the install screen stayed on after install, so I went into task manager and stopped it.
No issue and my sound is work just fine like before.
I wish you all great sucess!

Hello guys,

The fast way to fix this newer sound problem is, for sure, installing manually the driver, however, this new version takes too much till complete the process (and nobody knows why), then, you need to:

Hit: "WinKey" + R
Type: gpedit.msc "press enter"
At Computer Settings go to: Admin Templates > System > Devices Installations
By the Right Side of the screen double click at "Configure Device Installation Time OUT"
Check "Enable" option then hit Apply and Ok

Now it's time to try your driver installation, i let windows do the dirty job:

Open "My Computer" and enter Manage and search for Device Configuration OR Management
You'll notice a "Yellow Marked" device, Right Click on it then Update
Now you'll let the windows install your device by clicking the first option, that was enough to me!

Good luck and i trully hope i could help someone else.

Have you tried going to the RealTek site and getting the correct drivers for you system. I believe they are listed under drivers for 8.1

[Mark Kaplan]

I was able to get sound back by using the universal driver however WU is still trying and failing to install the Realtek driver.
