I will be alternating between 5.1 surround & Samson SR850 headphones (using the headphones slightly more often.) I just built a Win8 cpu and will use it for 50% games, 50% music. Restart your PC to complete the process.Hi everyone, total noob here but I've been reading audio threads on this site & others for a few days so I can try to ask an intelligent question.I will give you my scenario and am hoping somebody can give an answer which helps me understand a bit deeper than "sound card beats onboard audio every time".

At this point, close the driver dialog and the device manager, and then restart your PC to complete the process.
#Realtek alc1150 dolby drivers
Depending on the speed of your PC, this may take a minute or two, but it should complete on its own without any intervention, and then you’ll see an “Audio Drivers Installed” dialog confirming the update has completed
#Realtek alc1150 dolby install
There’s no downside to this, except that you will have to manually install them now and after any Windows update that reinstalls the default Realtek audio drivers. The problem is especially noticeable when the sound card hasn’t been “warmed up” and a sound (such as that triggered by an alert) is played after some silence, in which case it can take almost a full second for the sound to be played.įortunately there is good news: Microsoft has “generic” audio drivers for all high-definition audio devices – including Realtek’s – that work significantly better. This problem has been especially noticeable by users of Deal XPS 13 and 15 models as well as users of the Dell Precision 5520 and Dell Precision 3520 models, which are especially susceptible to this problem. This lag, once noticed, becomes incredibly annoying and can be a constant source of stress and irritation. The quality of recent Realtek sound controller and audio drivers has taken a nosedive in recent years, and the automatically installed drivers on Windows 10 have introduced a significant delay in the time it takes for sound to come out of the speakers after it is initiated by the PC.
