Realtek audio driver not installing properly

[William Gustafsson]

Hey I have an Asus Maximus VI Hero and am trying to download drivers after my clean install of Windows 10. I downloaded the file for my boards audio driver from the asus website but when I ran it the program kept saying it needed to uninstall the previous driver before installing the new one and then restart. It kept restarting and doing that over and over again never actually installing the new driver.

Had a similar issue last night myself, actually. As it turns out, that second step where it does the installing? It never gets to that BUT, if you check in your programs list, you'll find that the drivers were in fact installed automatically (sneakily) following that initial restart.
