Realtek Audio Manager (Yes Again)

I have spent a lot of time browsing around the threads here. I have found
a lot of very similar threads, but not what I am looking for. If there is one,
I would be happy if someone pointed me in the right direction.

I am using Vista Ultimate x64. I have a Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 Rev. 2.0 Motherboard.
It has integrated Realtek HD Audio Chipset ALC883.

I would like to know if I can get Realtek HD Audio Manager running on Vista x64 again.
I was using XP x64 in the past but ever since I have moved to vista it is not there. Now, yes I am aware that without installing the driver (because I am using the one built into windows) the Realtek Audio Manager is not going to be there, I am more wondering if there is anyone who has gotten this to successfully work. I have tried the driver from Gigabyte's Website with no success. However, I have not tried any directly from Realtek.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.


More Information: (Not Necessary)
I would like to have my computer do a few things that it used to do in XP where it asks what I just plugged in to the slot instead of assuming I only have 1 speaker and 1 Microphone. I would also like the ability to record from what is sometimes called "Stereo Mix" or "Wave Mix". Basically record without a Mic. I have gone into the vista control panel and selected "Show Disabled" and "Show Disconnected" but with no avail. Again Thanks.

Hi, bretzero, and welcome to the forums.

Use the Realtek driver. It works well in Vista x64.

They just released 2.10 a couple of days ago.

I built my rig in April, and my eVGA mobo has the same one, I believe....I am in Windows 7 and haven't tried installing the drivers for it in here yet so I cannot be 100% sure....

Thanks. I did actually get it working from the realtek driver.
Its not exactly how i remember it working or looking, but it
has all the same functionality.
