    Hello,

    I re-installed Windows 10 and tried j95's modded Clevo audio drivers but I can't get them to install properly even after help from him. Up until now, I've been using the default Windows audio driver. I can't get the Realtek Audio Console to work and sound is really awful and bass-y compared to the Windows drivers, especially while playing games. I don't know a single thing about audio and want to give a last try to the Realtek drivers before switching back to the Windows ones.
    Can anyone with the Updater app hit me up with PA71ES-G's audio driver(s)? I've tried Clevo's website but download speed is pathetic and it fails midway.

    Also, will it be fine if I download the drivers from reseller websites like ProStar, etc? And is it Creative SBX first, then Realtek or vice versa?

    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Specs in my signature just in case.

    Tried checking windows update catalog? https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=realtek audio 6.0.1.8447
    I used realtek audio version found at clevo to search in update catalog, usually full suite are big >100MB
    Tried stock clevo drivers https://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/download/ftpOut.asp?Lmodel=PA7XES_EP6&ltype=3&submit=+GO+

    It should be Realtek audio driver first, followed by the SB software. If you get an error when launching SB about "audio device not found or not recognized," reinstalling the audio driver usually fixes it.
