Realtek HD Audio not in Device Manager

[spiderlouie]

I bought a new headset and my computer won't recognise the microphone.

I went to open up Realtek Audio and realised it is no where on my computer, not control panel or on device manager.

I have tried installing the driver from the Realtek website, from the Windows Catalogue and various other places a million times and it is not working.

Can anyone help me?

When something fails to 'show up', it usually means that the item is non-functional. Start by assuming it is mechanically good, but that the OS has a faulty driver or a number of false items crowding this one out. Go to Device Manager and check view tab and show 'hidden' audio devices - remove all that you find. Same idea if using USB. Then 'restart'. Maybe it will find your device using 'plug and play'.
If not, try the headset/mic in another system.
Is it a special driver? Check manufacturer's website support and forum can have answers.
If none of this works, consider filing for an RMA - in this process, the manufacturer may have you do several tests.
Good luck!

Louie give me your system specs along with the brand name of your headset.

Put cpu-z into a folder and execute it will reveal your ram, mobo, cpu specs on each tab.

Have attached my laptop specs.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this for me, I really appreciate it.

Wow that seems to have moved me along!

It seems to have been installed but I'm getting this problem in the picture.
