    Have you tried to just update the driver from there?(rt click on high definition audio device and click on update driver). You are better off with a generic Microsoft driver than to try the latest realtec driver that won't match your hardware. You might also try looking at the support page of the VM software you are using for help.

    I'm running 10 Pro x64 on a 2,16 C2D MBP from 2006 (so the exact same one as you perhaps). The only 2 drivers I had to track down were the display adapter for ATI X1600 (which you already have, I got it from Microsoft update catelog) and Sigmatel for the audio.

    All the rest came from Bootcamp 6 (except AppleHFS.sys which causes BSOD and I've disabled).

    SigmaTel installed IDT High Definition version 6.10.5927.2 dated 5/6/2008. It works fine (it turned off the red light in the headphone socket as well).

    Check if your device is FUNC_01&GF&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0200&REV_1034. This is Sigmatel (which I got from bootcamp 4.0.4033). I can't help with 32 bit drivers as I installed 64 bit but you might find it from the device string (that is what I did).

    I upgraded the ram to 3GB and x64 runs OK. If you can't find the 32 bit drivers you could consider that.

    Hi,

    I am running windows 10 x64 on a 2006 macbook2,1. I am struggling to find a compatible audio driver. Actually Windows seems to indicate that everything is working fine (no yellow triangle in device manager) but no sound come out of the speakers ant there is the red light (-> digital output) in the headphone jack port.

    my device ID is: func_01&ven_8384&dev_7680&subsys_106B220&rev_1034
    (slightly different from yours)

    Could you PLEASE help me figure out what IDT driver to use. I have been struggling for a long time now.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    This INF from the bootcamp 4.0.4033 version

    Code:

    [IDT.NTamd64]
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0800  ; Board1.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0600  ; Board2.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0700  ; Board2.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0E00  ; Board3.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0F00  ; Board3.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B1600  ; Board3.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B1700  ; Board3.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0200  ; Board3.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B1E00  ; Board3.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0400  ; Board4.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B1A00  ; Board4.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B0A00  ; Board5.ini
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_106B2200  ; Board5.ini
    
    %ST.DeviceDesc%=SIGNONLY,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_FFFF&DEV_FFFF

    So it looks like it should work for you as well.

    However I've recently done a clean install on a new SSD and can't get it to install. It complains "device object is missing" and I'm stuck with Device manager looking OK but no sound and the red light on again.

    It installs (and works) perfectly well on a system upgraded from the first Windows 10 insider preview (if I put the old disk back in) so some pre-req is missing on a 1607 clean install but I don't know what.

    If I figure it out I'll update this.

    Hi,

    I found a solution to my problem:
    Installation of Win10 x64 on 2006 macbook2,1, 2008 macbook4,1 and 2009 macbookAir2,1. Please help me you driver diggers :) : mac

    Basically I needed to use the 2008 audio driver from Bootcamp 4.0.4326 (sigmatel ... something). However the exe file wouldn't work on a fresh install of Win10 x64. I needed to extract it with 7zip and then manually "update" the 2016 audio driver from device manager (browse to the folder containing the extracted files).

    Best,

    Thanks very much - that worked for me too. Strange the Sigmatel driver from 4.0.4043 worked for me before and now I need 4.0.4326 on clean install but it works so I'm happy :)

Does Mac use Realtek?

No. RealTek doesn't make drivers for OS X. RealTek makes chips. Apple provides their own audio drivers for OS X and the system hardware.

Does Windows 10 need Realtek audio drivers?

Realtek High Definition Audio Driver is the most popular sound driver for Windows systems, and it helps manage surround sound, Dolby and DTS sound systems on your computer. You need this driver for your audio device to even work on the PC – so uninstalling it would create serious audio errors.
