Realtek Audio Control

Realtek Audio Control is an audio configuration utility that allows users of Realtek audio hardware to access audio device settings, audio effects, and other control tools via a simple-to-use interface integrated directly into the modern Windows OS experience. It is built from the ground up by Realtek Semiconductor Corporation to take full advantage of the popular Realtek audio codec that is today used in hundreds of millions of PCs and is a basic preinstalled package in many modern motherboards.

For millions of users, Realtek audio is managed automatically by the preinstalled set of drivers and configuration utilities that are provided directly by Windows OS. However, in the event of driver or service corruption caused by a wide variety of events such as crashes, file corruption, or accidental deletion of system files, a standalone version of Realtek Audio Console can provide Windows PC users a way to access their audio management tools and take full control over their audio playback and record experience.

Realtek Audio Control is distributed online as an incredibly lightweight app hosted on the Microsoft Store, enabling all Windows 10 and Windows 11 users to install it by just clicking on the blue “Get“ button.

All the audio options these app offers are located in a streamlined dashboard interface that features four main navigation tabs – “Main” section where there are controls for the main Speaker and Microphone volume (with optional Mute and configuration tools), “Speakers” section for managing the sound balance between channels, default playback format, and speaker configuration (everything between mono and surround sound), “Microphone Array” for detailed management of microphone volume and recording format, and “Device Advanced Options” for picking the active audio ports and switching between Classic and Multi-stream audio processing modes.
