The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
I tried the latest one and it has the same issue, the only thing in the event log I could find related to the audio driver was:
"Software RealtekAudioControl failed installation with error 0x57 and process exit code 0x57."
Level: Warning
Source: DeviceSetupManager
Has the audio driver itself installed ? Can you should me a Device Manager screenshot of Software Components and Sound, Video and Game Controllers sections please.
I replaced the .appxBlundle in C:\Audio\9275.1\Uwp with the version included in 9257.1 and did a Full Install APO3 and now it works correctly. (The Realtek UWP app version that works for me is 1.32.260.0)
Forgot to mention that when I did a simple cut and paste the file to the UWP folder and after selected the full install, it did not work.
I had to rename it the same as the original appxbundle file and then after another full install it did work.
It is all good, I saved the .appxbundle file version that works for me and can just reuse the rename method once you publish an update.
I appreciated, but I think there is not practical to change your installer/script for 1 person who is on Desktop.

I would like to thank the following people for whom have helped. I like to personally thank the following users.
Disable secure boot in bios so that it can enter test sign mode to by pass cert requirement.
As the Driver is not signed full stop, have you seen the prices to get a Cert for drivers.
The Window you pointing to is what installs the drivers and the UWP files, nothing more extract the package with winrar or 7zip and look at the coding.
Yes I installed more than ten times today All the exact steps did Secure Boot also disabled But again in the test Mode digital signature window immediately open and closed, which is disabled, does not allow the digital signature installation option please solve the problem!
You can't unless you get a cert and sign the driver yourself.
All my modded drivers have been unsigned hence why secureboot needs to be disabled so the installer can reboot the system into testsign mode to install the driver that way to by pass the cert checks.
The installer also after installing the driver disables test sign mode after install to.
Yes i can confirm that as them files have been moddied thus broke the cert sign, so all files that are not signed any more is the files i have edited myself to add device ID's.
Right let's clear things up as it seems your not getting what I said.
The Driver mods I make edits signed files, which then breaks them and their signature hence certain files will always show they are not signed.
So because of this I ask all users to temporary disabled Secure Boot in the UEFI Bios before running my installer.
See the installer will edit the boot database to boot the system in to test sign mod, however if secure boot is enabled it will still reboot the but switch to test sign mod will not happen as that entry is protected by Secure Boot.
So if you having issues because it will not install my drivers because "The files has been tampered" then you need to disable Secure Boot in the bios.
Else if your just worried it says its Not signed, it doesn't mean it doesn't work it just means I didn't spend hundreds of pounds for a cert to then mess about with a script that would then apply the cert in away that other couldn't abuse the cert.
