if you use the ''realtek'' drivers outside the ones the motherboards support page offers you may loos features added in by the motherboard maker [[ I guess that's why you eather get a board with a real realtek or the realtek under the asus, msi, giga, asrock, ect. the first 2 times we got it working as soon as you left the game or shut down or unplugged the mic it reverted back to not working and had to set it up over and over to make it work, the we did something got it working full time when as needed with out going back over settingsĪnother thing I cant recall is if you got the motherboard branded realtek. My giga board and getting the mic / headset for gaming to work was a challenge as well for some reason but a bit of trial and error in the settings finally got it working the 3ed time. Like I say, it is realtek hardware, but its modified by the board manufacture and why it has there logo and not realtek's logo.
