Realtek Audio Driver For Windows 7

Hi I'm having a problem getting the Realtek HD Audio Manager for my soundcard working. I can install the driver package it comes with but the actual control panel app won't load because it says it's for Vista only. I wouldn't mind if I didn't need to access it to turn my internal speakers on, I have to change the advanced options so it separates the audio streams otherwise I don't get sound from the onboard speakers, I would RMA the laptop but I'd be without a laptop then. Currently I'm using the default ones installed they're rubbish, my internal speakers are much louder when using the Realtek drivers and I don't think the subwoofer in the bottom of the laptop is working, or the front 2 speakers, and I don't know how to get them to work, I've looked through the options and can't see a relevant option. Does anyone have a Realtek HD Audio manager control panel working and if so how did you get it to work?

Thanks in advance for an help on this. Yeah I tried the ones from Realteks site and they won't even install. I have now used the ones fom the Asus drivers disk and they have installed, although I thought I did that this morning as I installed Realtek drivers from somewhere, where eludes me though as I can't find the files on my system anywhere. I have the control panel now but the options aren't all there (it thinks I don't have speakers) and yet the speakers are working fine, at least they are now that I've changed the advanced options to get them working which was my main concern. I'll try those ones you've upped to megaupload though to see if they solve the problem I'm now getting with Dolby Control Center - it can't find any valid audio endpoints. Whatever they are. Ok I got it working fine now.

Here's what I did. In order to get the control panel in the first place I had to install the Realtek drivers that are on the Asus drivers disk, I also installed the dolby control center as well, which wouldn't at this point work, but that's not necessary, I just installed it because I want the bass boost function. That allowed me to use the Realtek HD Audio control panel. I then rebooted because the installer told me to. Then I used device manager to update the drivers to the VistaR214 drivers from Realtek (which I assume is where bangert got them from), but I did it so that I browsed for the driver and I selected the folder the drivers are in after extraction and went from there. Then I rebooted once they'd installed in device manager.

It all works now, the Realtek HD Audio control panel (sound manager, whatever you wish to call the app) now recognises that I have speakers and I can alter all the options and the dolby control center works as well. If I installed the VistaR214 drivers using their setup package I get a Realtek HD Audio control panel that doesn't work because I get a dialog box telling me it's Vista only. Very odd but I'm happy now, I have fully functioning speakers again.
