    Is there any way to have updated Realtek Extensions? The ones i have are from 8881.1 version
    and no matter what search terms i have tried in Microsoft catalog site could not get any.

    @erpsterm35 I don't have any problem with my audio drivers HDA or UAD. My mobo is the Gigabyte B460M D3H (rev. 1.0).
    The question goes whether there is something newer on MS Catalog when it comes to HDX_GigabyteExt_RTK.inf as you also mentioned with these new drivers posted here.
    From Windows Update i have kept three .cab files for Realtek, one being the "Drivers", the other the "Software Components" and the last the "Extensions" for the 8881.1 version that it installs for my hardware.
    Usually on top of these I update the Drivers + Software Components.

    so i run driver store explorer. force removed the Realtek drivers.
    then closed AV & UAC and run as admin UAD drivers.
    no such errors anymore.

    driver versions in device manager & realtek audio console remain the same weird ones xD

    Since these drivers installed are unofficial drivers, that driver version mismatch occurs said a guy. So in order to get correct driver version , you must install original manufacturer driver.

    I found that your Asrock page got old Realtek drivers about one year old. If not a problem , you install them. I installed Mokichu's driver from Asus website as my mobo is Asus B350 Plus.

    so basically the driver of the audio controller is not up to date in the end?
    what those UAD drivers do then?

    I am not going in to serious technical discussion but what i know is that HDA is old form of drivers for realtek and UAD is new form and frequently updating. So I also started using UAD. There were lot of Asrock drivers too in this page posted by erpsterm. You try them. Not sure how compatible to your board. Test and try like I do.
