Realtek HDA/UAD/Component Drivers

SM-003 napísal:

Whatever you said about WHQL is right & I know that.
But I haven't said anything about the WHQL cert in my earlier post, just asked about the latest HDA version of RT audio



 

6.0.9326.1 HDA FF00 was a "leaked" beta HDA driver to Driverhub a few years ago, so I DO CARE about MS WHQL certification, SM-003
sometimes I do not like using non-WHQL based HDA drivers on certain PCs; and sometimes  latest HDA versions are "not" always better, you know.
6.0.9326.1 FF00 was not significantly better than either 6.0.9239.1 HDA or 6.0.9273.1 HDA in terms of audio quality.
there were some "leaked" 6.0.95xx.1 HDA versions like 6.0.9507.1 & 6.0.9556.1 but those were HP/Hewlett-Packard specific and not generic.

As you guys are saying that 6.0.9844.1 (3rd June 25) is the latest HDA, I haven't tested that yet, so asking, is this v6.0.9844.1 (3rd June 25) is HDA generic FF00 or for any specific HW/vendor/OEM? tested in any system below intel 7th gen CPU/chipset? 

 

rvail was confused.
6.0.9844.1 is NOT HDA FF00 (legacy) based and is UAD/DCH based; simple as that.  Realtek stopped making "generic" HDA/FFxx drivers around the 93xx version
