About Sound Card Drivers:
Usually, Windows operating systems apply a generic audio driver that allows computers to recognize the sound card component and make use of its basic functions.
When enabled by proper files, the characteristics of the sound card (like model, manufacturer, number of channels) are completely available to computers, and all its features are made accessible.
Updating the audio version can improve sound quality, resolve different compatibility issues, fix related errors spotted throughout the product's usage, add support for new operating systems, and bring various other changes.
As for applying this package, the steps are quite simple since each producer intends to uncomplicate things for users: just download the package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Bear in mind that, even though other operating systems might be compatible as well, it is not recommend that you apply any software on platforms other than the specified ones. Also, when the installation has finished, do perform a restart to ensure that all changes take effect properly.
Therefore, if you wish to install this audio version, click the download button and apply the package. Remember to check with our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.

After installing KB5005101 or a later update on devices using Microsoft Exploit Protection Export Address Filtering (EAF), you might have issues with some applications. You might be experiencing this issue if apps fail to open, fail to open files, or you might receive a white window when attempting to login. Affected platforms:
Resolution: This issue is resolved using Known Issue Rollback (KIR). Please note that it might take up to 24 hours for the resolution to propagate automatically to consumer devices and non-managed business devices. Restarting your Windows device might help the resolution apply to your device faster. For enterprise-managed devices that have installed an affected update and encountered this issue, it can be resolved by installing and configuring a special Group Policy (preferred) or setting a registry key according to the version of Windows you are using. Important Verify that you are using the correct Group Policy or registry key for your version of Windows. Group Policy (preferred): For help, please see How to use Group Policy to deploy a Known Issue Rollback. For general information on using Group Policies, see Group Policy Overview. Note Devices need to be restarted after configuring the special Group Policy or adding the registry key. Registry Key: 1, Open a Command Prompt window (cmd.exe) with elevated permissions. 2, Type the following command depending on which Windows version you are using and then press Enter. 3, All version of Windows require a restart of the device for the registry key to take effect. Before restarting Windows 10, version 1909, Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019, you will need to also run following command from elevated PowerShell prompt: |

After installing KB5005033 or a later update, certain printers in some environments using Point and Print might receive a prompt saying, 'Do you trust this printer' and requiring administrator credentials to install every time an app attempts to print to a print server or a print client connects to a print server. This is caused by a print driver on the print client and the print server using the same filename, but the server has a newer version of the file. When the print client connects to the print server, it finds a newer driver file and is prompted to update the drivers on the print client, but the file in the package it is offered for installation does not include the later file version. Workaround: Verify that you are using the latest drivers for all your printing devices and where possible, use the same version of the print driver on the print client and print server. Affected platforms:
Resolution: This issue is resolved externally by adjusting the print drivers in your environment. If updating drivers in your environment does not resolve the issue, please contact support for your printer manufacturer (OEM).
