HDaudio consists of two parts. The Microsoft UAA driver. And
the RealTek specific parts from their package.
RealTek probably bundles a version of UAA with the driver.
But sometimes there is an issue with the version of UAA
already installed in the OS, and the rest of the package.
This is a procedure suggested by Asus Tech Support for
their customers.
*******
1)Go in safe mode
2)Disable the HD audio device under Sound Video Games
controllers, do not uninstall it here!
3)Disable under the system devices "Microsoft UAA bus driver for high
definition audio", do not uninstall it here!
4)Now uninstall the "Microsoft UAA bus driver for high definition audio"
(via this device manager in safe mode), the HD audio device will then
also be uninstalled automatically
5)Install the latest driver for your motherboard.
In case you can not uninstall the UAA driver, go to microsoft.com and
find KB888111. It has some regedit instructions to remove KB888111.
