It’s highly important to have the drivers for an audio or network device as without them they might not work correctly or they might not work at all. And some audio problems happen when you did not update your C-Media driver. Here we will discuss the two most common way to update C-Media drivers.
A 2.0 sound card refers to a stereo output, 2.1 means stereo plus a sub-woofer, whilst 5.1 and 7.1 models are full surround sound cards. The digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) is a fundamental component of a soundcard; in short, the higher quality the DAC, the better the audio.
- In most cases the default High Definition Audio Device driver that comes from Microsoft solves the Realtek audio driver problem in Windows 10. To make it as default, you can do the following. Type “Device” in your Windows 10 search box. Click on Device Manager item. Go to Sound, video and game Controllers.
- .Please be noted: For CMI873x or CMI876x series, C-Media no longer support Win10 driver. For CMI878x, CM88xx, or USB Audio series, please contact your product vendor to get customized Win10 driver. However, if your product didn't apply customized driver when you purchased, you can then just use Win10 in box standard driver.
