dude, you're the man! Around 7 where you show where the Audio Manager is installed is what I needed! I don't understand why my audio driver isn't creating an icon or folder on my Win 10 desktop for this application, but thanks to you, I have the audio manager again finally! Thanks!!!!!!
Learn to read you big bag of cat shit and ask an adult to explain to you what headphones are...Fucking ass-clown. The video says Fix Realtek HD Audio Manager Missing from Windows 10. Not how to use a headset that apparently doesn't exist in Youhaventafuckingclueville... Or use a phone.....Even with computers people still cant figure it out. You would be even more lost before PC's and phones. You had to go to a library or figure it out your fucking self. Lazy ass imbecile.
I have spent 3 WHOLE NIGHTS ALL NIGHT LONG trying to get back the Realtek audio manager interface and after watching this 3 minute video clip IT ACTUALLY WORKED. I wish I had found it sooner YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY. I am going to save this video in a folder in case i nedd it again. YOU ARE A COMPUTER GENIUS. i HAVE WATCHES ABOUT 10 OTHER VIDEOS ON TUBE AND NOTHING ELSE WORKED EXCEPT THIS. IT WORKS. IT WORKS. IT WORKS.
literally after 2 hours of searching i found this video, you didnt only fix my problem with the audio manager you fixed my microphone being disturbed too...
oh ive never found out bud i wish. i still suffer from my mic issues on pc :/// i half accepted it. but at same time i want my pc to just run normally..
This is the problem I am having as well since I got my new laptop last year; the only audio control, which was and is already installed into the computer, is called DTS Audio Control, and it is not the same or advanced as the Realtek HD Audio Manager on my older laptop. I miss it!
Just a heads up to anyone here trying to get an audio jack to register like I am, make sure to apply pressure to the connection (up and down, not inwards) first before you go on a wild goose chase like I have. I thought my computer had stopped recognising the input and I needed the Audio Manager to fix it, but it was actually the jack connection that was the problem. Save yourself some time! Video here worked for me though, I got what I wanted, just not what I needed!
Unfortunately, This is only half the problem... The Realtek drivers don't match on my PC.. for some reason and they keep disappearing every time I unplug my headphones and plug the other once or use a Bluetooth connection. I cant believe this problem still exists after all these years...
This fixed my USB audio not working. I tried many things over 6 months before this to no avail and had two tech persons look at it. Your simple steps fixed it. Thanks so much.
Thank you for the solution at the 2:00 timestamp, the one which allowed me to get the drivers of the Realtek High Definition Audio Device manually updated.
I had the same issue! Spent hours looking at advice to uninstall and reinstall from device manager and all this other crap. I looked at my control panel and Realtek was gone. Downloaded it and poof, 2 restarts later I have sound again!
mate your a legend.. i prolly watched a total of 5hrs of videos on how to fix it (all being useless) and then i come across you and within the 1st 2mins the problem was soled.... THANK YOU ur a solid mate
@@benhoy203 it should appear after you installed the drivers properly on the C drive where your OS is. you can download either by googling realteck audio drivers in google or your motherboards website.
You actually helped me quite a lot. Thanks. In my case, the audio driver was still the same, but it sounded a lot distorted and wasn`t loud the way it was before. I`ve solved it all just by reconnecting the headphones in order to get it functionating just fine.
The last step was the magical touch for me. I just checked the realtek folder in program files, and the realtek manager appeared in the control panel. thank you
Brian, thank you so much for this video, I had this problem today with it missing from the control panel, fortunately for me the first fix you mentioned worked for me!!! I can only thank you again. I glad I subtribe to you your one first class act!! what can be said about this.... 2,254,239 views 28 Feb 2018 Bloody fantastic is what I say!!!!!!
I've watched so many tutorials on how to do this and they all failed. When I came to this video, the motherboard manufacturer website with the driver helped perfectly! Thank you after 4 hours haha
Is anyone else having the issue where when trying to update the driver through the list of available drivers, the realtek hd audio driver just isn't showing up? That's what's happening with me, and I don't know how to fix it
Hey, I'm on a Dell laptop. FYI for other poor souls with these hellish machines. Apparently Dell decided to rework this and have MaxxAudio run over Realtek stuff. Not sure how or why this works, but now you know. MaxxAudio provides one tenth of the options of Realtek software. You might want to uninstall it first. I came here because it was not recognizing anything I put into my 3.5mm jack. Opening god damn WAVES(R) by MaxxAudio Pro and adjusting settings there helped, eventually. Good luck everyone
I have the latest driver but RtkNGUI64.exe isn't in the Realtek folder. I need my volume leveller back because movie editors apparently don't know what normalisation is... Edit The fix for me was to uninstall the old Realtek audio driver and just use the one Windows automatically installed (aka I had conflicting drivers)
This worked for me. I went into device manager and found realtek HD audio under sound, right-clicked for properties, chose to update the driver using the drivers located on my computer. I found that I had a few different sets of drivers. The 2019 drivers did not work, but I also had 2016 drivers which did work. This brought the Realtek HD Audio Manager back into my control panel. Thanks for your help.
I've just spent hours updating and all on my computer windows 10 and I still don't have and can't find the "RtkNGUI64.exe" I have ALL the latest updated drivers etc and I cannot find your "how to install cab files" :(
Thank you!!!! After 5 days a 2 years old Video fixed my Problems that i got at the 12 march 2020 after a windows update. KB4551762 just rip my pc Sound,mic and more, the problem was RAVBg64.exe 30% CPU usage.... ooooof finally thank you !!!
I've been watching videos and videos for months but nothing helped me. then I found this and the "Update driver" part at 1:30 was what I was needing this whole time! forever grateful! thanks a lot for the video!💯🙏
Thanks for showing me where the Realtek directory/folder is. It still had the executable for the audio-manager. I now have a way to make the program work. Now I just need to add it to the startup with windows.
I am literally so confused on this. My audio works perfect and I have no issues what so ever. But there is literally no Realtek Audio Manager thing and no HDA folder. I’ve been trying to get the “what device did you plug in” to come back for days and I have no clue what to do. Nothing that the internet has told me is working. It always tells me to do something and I follow the steps but I’m missing something somewhere in the steps and then I’m stuck again. I just want my headset mic to work man.
Alright, so, this may or may not be some of y’all problem. But, try pressing the windows key and searching Waves MaxxAudio Pro. Go to playback on the left, click advanced at the bottom and enable the pop up. That was my problem. If you don’t have it, you can download it from Dell’s website. Hopefully that helped.
If you don't have realtek HD audio manager then download driver booster app in your windows and scan for updates ...then there will be an audio driver . install it and then restart your PC ....and done.....after restarting audio manager will be there
The windows 11 search bar is actually uselss, the only way finding the actual program is to navigate through to the Realtek folder like you did in this video, thank you very much!
Hey, I accidentally deleted the pop up to switch from speakers to headphones with task manager, and now it won't show up. What do I do because now I can't use my headphones.
Excellent! Can confirm that your video has resolved my driver issue :D The issue I was having, was Realtek only recognising my speakers and not my headphones. Tried reinstalling the drivers from their website to no avail. Thanks a million. I really appreciate your help!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! The latest microsoft update for Windows 10 64-bit (12th september 2019.) broke sounds in games for me. I tried reinstalling audio drivers and setting my speakers to Stereo for like 5 times and anything else you can think of or find on the internet but non of it worked! In the end it turns out that uninstalling that particular Win10 update fixed the problem for me (it's the only way to do it). BUT in the process of messing with my audio controllers/drivers I lost my Realtek HD Audio Manager (I need it to enable my microphone) and couldn't get it back.. UNTIL I saw this video! :D Thanks one more time
how did it break sounds for you? somehow, out of no where yesterday (without updating anything), csgo became super quiet - including siege, rust, and all that.
@@Malaxus In my case it caused me to only be able to hear sounds that come from in front of my character, the sounds at my sides would be at 50% volume while sounds coming from directly behind me would be at like 1 % volume. :/ Yeah, pretty damn weird.
If anyone is interestedm, it's still works like a charm! Finally i can manage my audio setting without shitty microsoft "soft". Thank you very much dude! You're the best!
@@SwissSauce I literally just fixed mine.I installed Realtek from the Device manager then the laptop crashed because there was an error then when I restarted the laptop my sound came back.
I'm still working on this, but like this video. I started with another one by a lad in Mumbai who I couldn't understand at all. I could follow this one and make notes. Thanks for the help.
Thank you! The very last step is really what I needed. Listen closely everyone, don't rely on windows search/cortana to find programs!! This whole time I was convinced I didn't have it installed but sure enough it was there once I went into program files
YOU SAVED MY LIFE BRO. I SPENT HOURS WITH DELL SUPPORT FOR DAYS AND DAYS AND SO MANY OF THEM TOLD ME I HAVE TO FACTORY RESET MY PC. I FOUND YOU BRO AND YOU SAVED MY LIFE. YOURE A LEGEND!!!!
You're a legend. My audio was working but it was joining the two sound streams from the front port and back port together and I had to physically pull one to swap. Running the exe service and the app allowed me to change the setting. Thanks man
I don't get this. The issue at hand is that we DON'T have the Realtek Audio Manager...so I don't have any Realtek option in my Device Manager. But everything in this video is based on clicking a Realtek reference in Device Manager. ??
They do not know the answer. We want the interface and start menu option that should be uploaded. The problem is that it seems to be separate. A driver is not an interface. What bunch of divs. And you notice they do no dare delete the software because they know they will need to reboot WINDOWS from scratch and that will delete other things.
Worked great for me...now I can get the audio manager to open. Went to the Dell site and had it detect my PC and there was a new update dated today. Thanks for sharing!
None of the methods worked for me, and i found the simple method. I installed Realtek drivers R2.81 instead of R2.82. I running Windows 10 1809. R2.81 working perfectly fine for me. I using the Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 motherboard. In R2.81 Audio Manager working normaly. Sorry for my english 😀
The step with updating the driver to "realtek high definition audio" actually helped me to resolve the audio&video sync issue. Both windows 10 and realtek driver installation software installed the wrong driver, which was not the "realtek high definition audio". After I updated the driver the sync problem went away for good. Make sure to choose the path to your latest driver path though.
Did everything here and more from online advice. Uninstalled, reinstalled, different drivers, restarted, shut down and on. The only thing i can say is Realtek doesn’t show up on control panel and my High Definition Audio Controller has a Code 10 error and so does Realtek Audio in Device manager.
Also to add, I am using standard split channel headphones for mic and headphones. The only things that show up in my playback are HDMI audio from the Nvidia Card.
Thanks, I believe installing the older version is what restored the Manager for me.... Im have a lot of trouble getting my headset microphone to work though :(
even tho i dont have that bit in control panel, i had a weird echo when i plugged in my headset, sounded like people were in a cave. i figured it was a driver issue so i searched around for a driver and this was the place that got me the correct one. all i had was something like "realtek audio" no high definition but once i did the search for updates thing and then select from my computer and then selected the high def option, the echo immediately disappeared! thanks for the help! ive learned something new!
Thanks Brian :-D Yep realtek is common for quite a few machines, when it behaves itself it's fine :-) I have tryed all sorts to make it work, i first try a registry rollback, often works, but if not its registry editing to remove entrys and file deleting to force the o.s to want an external driver. A bit nasty but i've had to do it :)
I have currently Upgraded my main board. And ever since certain programs and games need to be told in the settings which to use. It's a pain, my old board audio driver had no issues.
It did work for me. in my device manager, I had no realtek too at first I had to install my motherboard realtek driver on asus website found it in driver and tool/audio/ realtek driver than a realtek HD audio appear in my device manager. my RtkNGUI64 in C:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA is now working
This is a good tutorial. But the thing is I can’t actually find my realtek audio/sound system on the device manager or even “sound,video, and game controllers”
I dunno how others but I FINALLY RESOLVED THIS: From 1:55 I have chosen Realtek driver from my computer from 2010, then quick reeboot of PC. Configure 5.1 speakers in Windows sound setting and ET voila! FINALLY working 5.1 like it used to do before. IMPORTANT note - DO NOT update any audio driver ever!
HEY DANG IT! IT REALLY HELPED ME A LOT I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE A CHANCE TO GET THE AUDIO BACK AND NOW THANKS FOR THE BIG HELP YOU DESERVE MY SUBSCRIBE AND YOU JUST SAVE MY BUTT!!! THIS IS LEGIT REAL!
loved this video m8, thanks for the fix. in my case realtek just got disabled for some reason after i restarted my pc, i fixed it by activating it on device manager.
Friend ...hi ... I have a problem ...I reinstalled my Windows 10 but now I can't make my Front Audio Jack WOrking also when I install ANY (Any I mean the latest driver and the recommended for my motherboard too) In control Panel I can see the Realtek HD Audio Driver but in the Device Manager on the SOUND DEVICES there isn't anything about this Realtek Driver so I can't make my front jack working ...
Finally fixed it! After a ton of videos and no luck I seen a suggestion to do the following: Go to command prompt and type wmic baseboard get product Then use the model number and search Google with that. (Mine was MS-7976 - Which is a MSI Z170A MB) The search brought up a lot but I went to the one linked to "Drivers Scape" I scrolled down to the Audio section and downloaded the x64 version. Now the driver is old (2015) but bam... HD Audio Manager is back in toolbar etc.. and working.
If you guys have a "!" sign next to your high definition audio bus in the Device manager window, this worked for me: Update drivers, chose manually, ask windows to propose usuable drivers and take the second one for both of the audio bus drivers. Magic!
Thank you Britec09 just helped to solve my problem. With no sound at all put CC and read your explanation... then did your step by step explanation and... boommm ... done!! thanks
@@thenorthwillow1536 find the drivers (in his discerption) and download them. Also make sure the old ones are un-downloaded then go into the driver folder (6:40(video))and start up most of the programs
When I want to learn my motherboard model, it just says '''standard''.I try with cmd, CPU-Z, and bios but the result is the same.And when I click on the RtkNGUI64 shortcut nothing happens as if I didn't click.
@@Axel-jo4ye I also have this problem. I found that the difference between ours and the video is that mine doesn't have .exe in it so its not executable. Any advice?
I suppose that after 5 months you found a way, but i'll give a solution for others in present and for the future. 1st way: Open command prompt and type exactly the same (no quotes, no changes, no extra spaces): "wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber", then press enter. 2nd way: Press simultaneously Windows key + R and then type (no quotes): "msinfo32" and hit Enter or click OK. Find an item on the list that says ‘MotherBoard’ or ‘Baseboard’. There should be 3 items - BaseBoard Model, BaseBoard Manufacturer, and Baseboard Name. 3rd way: Open ‘Run’ (Windows key + R). Type (no quotes) "dxdiag". Press Enter. When the window appears, check if it’s on the System tab. Find ‘System Model’ and copy or rewrite it. Paste this into a search engine of your choice to research your motherboard components. I think thats enough. P.S. 2nd way gives all the system information about the machine.
1.3 Million Views? This sounds like a bigger issue than I thought...

Same for me, just updated it
I'm still working on this, but like this video. I started with another one by a lad in Mumbai who I couldn't understand at all. I could follow this one and make notes. Thanks for the help.
What if Realtek High Definition Audio is missing from device manager?
i had the same thing; happen i was using hdmi for so long that i dont know what happened.
x2
u fixed it?
same thing happening to me and I have installed it atleast 5 times now
Then you’re fucked!
THANK YOU! I THOUGHT I LOST MY AUDIO FOR GOOD AND NO OTHER VIDEO HELPED MEEEEEEEEE!!
Very useful information, well done Brian.
Thanks Terry
Thank you! The very last step is really what I needed. Listen closely everyone, don't rely on windows search/cortana to find programs!! This whole time I was convinced I didn't have it installed but sure enough it was there once I went into program files
2:07 not there for me. I have these 2 options: general software solution & audio end point (translated from Dutch to English)
Same! did you ever resolve it? Dank U :-D
@@jean-lucsedits4319 help me i got the same problem
@@Zonex_Haven never solved it... i stayed with shitty beats audio thing
@@jean-lucsedits4319 Need to download it if Realtek is missing. Fixed mine in just a few minutes. Spent hours trying everything else.
Brent Marsh where do you download it at?
YOU SAVED MY LIFE BRO. I SPENT HOURS WITH DELL SUPPORT FOR DAYS AND DAYS AND SO MANY OF THEM TOLD ME I HAVE TO FACTORY RESET MY PC. I FOUND YOU BRO AND YOU SAVED MY LIFE. YOURE A LEGEND!!!!
Ahh glad that I'm not the only Dell user with this problem XD
My realtek drivers doesnt even pop up in my device manager and I have installed them multiple times
did u fix it tho?
You're a legend. My audio was working but it was joining the two sound streams from the front port and back port together and I had to physically pull one to swap. Running the exe service and the app allowed me to change the setting. Thanks man
I don't get this. The issue at hand is that we DON'T have the Realtek Audio Manager...so I don't have any Realtek option in my Device Manager. But everything in this video is based on clicking a Realtek reference in Device Manager. ??
They do not know the answer. We want the interface and start menu option that should be uploaded. The problem is that it seems to be separate. A driver is not an interface. What bunch of divs. And you notice they do no dare delete the software because they know they will need to reboot WINDOWS from scratch and that will delete other things.
Worked great for me...now I can get the audio manager to open. Went to the Dell site and had it detect my PC and there was a new update dated today. Thanks for sharing!
None of the methods worked for me, and i found the simple method. I installed Realtek drivers R2.81 instead of R2.82. I running Windows 10 1809. R2.81 working perfectly fine for me. I using the Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 motherboard. In R2.81 Audio Manager working normaly. Sorry for my english 😀
The update on 2:10 helped me to open Realtek HD Audio Manager and that solved it all, Thanks.
So the big important step of installing the cab files is missing from this video.
The step with updating the driver to "realtek high definition audio" actually helped me to resolve the audio&video sync issue. Both windows 10 and realtek driver installation software installed the wrong driver, which was not the "realtek high definition audio". After I updated the driver the sync problem went away for good.
Make sure to choose the path to your latest driver path though.
In the device manager, realtek hd audio manager is not showing up. How do I fix. Thank You!
Thanks dude, you saved me.
Apparently 2.82 version didn't work for me but the one you shared (2.81) worked flawlessly.
Did everything here and more from online advice. Uninstalled, reinstalled, different drivers, restarted, shut down and on. The only thing i can say is Realtek doesn’t show up on control panel and my High Definition Audio Controller has a Code 10 error and so does Realtek Audio in Device manager.
Also to add, I am using standard split channel headphones for mic and headphones. The only things that show up in my playback are HDMI audio from the Nvidia Card.
It worked!!! I was on it for more than 6 hrs. I finally found this video! 🎉 Much love❤
Thanks, I believe installing the older version is what restored the Manager for me.... Im have a lot of trouble getting my headset microphone to work though :(
realtek HD aduio manager became a UWP now , plz search "Realtek" in Microsoft Store .
thanks, i had to factory reset my PC. and i learned that the realtek hd audio manager is almost ESSENTIAL to me
1:15 "if you do see reatek here"
"IF"
its not theres, so what if its not? you never lead into that..
exactly i don't see it,help
Then you choose "High Definition Audio Device".
@@tw3027 All I see is "Generic software device" and "Audio endpoint".
There's no "High Definition Audio Device" there.
Stooiez download the drivers from their website maybe?
Same my realtek isn't also here
even tho i dont have that bit in control panel, i had a weird echo when i plugged in my headset, sounded like people were in a cave. i figured it was a driver issue so i searched around for a driver and this was the place that got me the correct one. all i had was something like "realtek audio" no high definition but once i did the search for updates thing and then select from my computer and then selected the high def option, the echo immediately disappeared! thanks for the help! ive learned something new!
Thanks Brian :-D
Yep realtek is common for quite a few machines, when it behaves itself it's fine :-)
I have tryed all sorts to make it work, i first try a registry rollback, often works, but if not its registry editing to remove entrys and file deleting to force the o.s to want an external driver.
A bit nasty but i've had to do it :)
it don't play well with Windows 10 for some reason
Well, who am i to say that 10 is crap ha ha :-D
Sorry Brian, i could not resist :-D Joking as allways :-D

I have currently Upgraded my main board. And ever since certain programs and games need to be told in the settings which to use. It's a pain, my old board audio driver had no issues.
The only video that actually helped !
One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen, on any subject and I watch a lot of them. Thank you, hats off to you!
the first option fixed my issue that i hear audio just from one speaker now i hear audio from 2 speakers :D Thanks britec
3:36 how do i know which files are for my computer?
did you figure it out? don't know which of them i have to download
same here
top man being trying to fix this for ages working now thanks
0:41 Mine was named HD Audio Manager without "Realtek". Thank you
same thing here. Did it work for u?
It did work for me.
in my device manager, I had no realtek too at first
I had to install my motherboard realtek driver on asus website
found it in driver and tool/audio/ realtek driver
than a realtek HD audio appear in my device manager.
my RtkNGUI64 in C:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA is now working
@@mathieuf9209 I click on RtkNGUI64 and nothing happens. I even run it as admin and nothing happens... Can u help me?
This is a good tutorial. But the thing is I can’t actually find my realtek audio/sound system on the device manager or even “sound,video, and game controllers”
realtek driver not even in the control panel
I dunno how others but I FINALLY RESOLVED THIS:
From 1:55 I have chosen Realtek driver from my computer from 2010, then quick reeboot of PC. Configure 5.1 speakers in Windows sound setting and ET voila! FINALLY working 5.1 like it used to do before. IMPORTANT note - DO NOT update any audio driver ever!
HEY DANG IT! IT REALLY HELPED ME A LOT I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE A CHANCE TO GET THE AUDIO BACK AND NOW THANKS FOR THE BIG HELP YOU DESERVE MY SUBSCRIBE AND YOU JUST SAVE MY BUTT!!! THIS IS LEGIT REAL!
ok just calm down
loved this video m8, thanks for the fix.
in my case realtek just got disabled for some reason after i restarted my pc, i fixed it by activating it on device manager.
Friend ...hi ... I have a problem ...I reinstalled my Windows 10 but now I can't make my Front Audio Jack WOrking also when I install ANY (Any I mean the latest driver and the recommended for my motherboard too) In control Panel I can see the Realtek HD Audio Driver but in the Device Manager on the SOUND DEVICES there isn't anything about this Realtek Driver so I can't make my front jack working ...
I got the same problem. I also reinstalled and then front audio gone.
I've fixed it ... If the relatek driver not work for you ... go find an 64 bit version of HD VIA Audio Driver ...It worked for me !
I'll try it, thanks.
@@superpsion i have the same problem, i know nothing can you send me a link or something please.
@@superpsionI've got this issue. Is HD VIA Audio Driver a different software?
Finally fixed it! After a ton of videos and no luck I seen a suggestion to do the following:
Go to command prompt and type wmic baseboard get product
Then use the model number and search Google with that. (Mine was MS-7976 - Which is a MSI Z170A MB)
The search brought up a lot but I went to the one linked to "Drivers Scape"
I scrolled down to the Audio section and downloaded the x64 version.
Now the driver is old (2015) but bam... HD Audio Manager is back in toolbar etc.. and working.
My audio is stuck as mono not stereo.. Need help
wow so smart making a video like this without subtitles
2:00 worked for me! Thanks so much!
when i went to device manager and did what you showed on updating drivers, it worked. thank you Britec09
I have de files program files but when i run it nothing happens
Same with my computer
If you guys have a "!" sign next to your high definition audio bus in the Device manager window, this worked for me: Update drivers, chose manually, ask windows to propose usuable drivers and take the second one for both of the audio bus drivers. Magic!
There is no "Realtek High Definition Audio" in device manager
Thank you Britec09 just helped to solve my problem. With no sound at all put CC and read your explanation... then did your step by step explanation and... boommm ... done!! thanks
6:54 The Realtek folder is not there what should I do?
Okay boys I figures it out re download the driver
it will be their if not i don't know
@@Spilk214 how? Please
@@thenorthwillow1536 find the drivers (in his discerption) and download them. Also make sure the old ones are un-downloaded then go into the driver folder (6:40(video))and start up most of the programs
thanks man from 2020. this maybe the only good thing happened for me this year :)
When I want to learn my motherboard model, it just says '''standard''.I try with cmd, CPU-Z, and bios but
the result is the same.And when I click on the RtkNGUI64 shortcut nothing happens
as if I didn't click.
me to do u know hot to fixit ?
@@user-jw9lw6ks8q Do you have a prebuilt?
@@Axel-jo4ye I also have this problem. I found that the difference between ours and the video is that mine doesn't have .exe in it so its not executable. Any advice?
@@dukequach9641 So your issue is that your unable to see what motherboard you have?
I suppose that after 5 months you found a way, but i'll give a solution for others in present and for the future.
1st way: Open command prompt and type exactly the same (no quotes, no changes, no extra spaces): "wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber", then press enter.
2nd way: Press simultaneously Windows key + R and then type (no quotes): "msinfo32" and hit Enter or click OK. Find an item on the list that says ‘MotherBoard’ or ‘Baseboard’. There should be 3 items - BaseBoard Model, BaseBoard Manufacturer, and Baseboard Name.
3rd way: Open ‘Run’ (Windows key + R).
Type (no quotes) "dxdiag". Press Enter. When the window appears, check if it’s on the System tab. Find ‘System Model’ and copy or rewrite it. Paste this into a search engine of your choice to research your motherboard components.
I think thats enough.
P.S. 2nd way gives all the system information about the machine.
Thankyou so much. The intructions worked perfectly and it had more clarity than other videos which were used to address this issue
