1408220 2015-09-11 02:25:00 After upgrading to Windows 10 I find I have to update my Realtek audio driver as Line In and Microphone show as not plugged in. When I check on the pc Windows says I have the latest drivers but this can't be true as the problem exists.
When I check online Realtek suggests getting an update from the manufacturer of the motherboard. I do not know who that is.
Any suggestions of where to get updated drivers?
I do appreciate the help I get from members when I run into problems.

1408221 2015-09-11 03:07:00 Theres several ways to get info.
1. press the following keys, Windows + R in the run box type in msinfo32 press enter. When it loads on the right will be a lot of info, depending on whats showing it may tell you the make and model of the board ans well as a mountain of other information.

2. Download and run Speccy www.piriform.com - the free ones good enough, click on motherboard and it will tell you everything you need to know.

3. ( my Favorite - and quicker) :D Simply take the side off the case ( make sure its turned off first, I do it with the PC running but I've done it for years -- YES fingers touching running fans hurt :)) Simply look on the Motherboard. :) Theres is usually the model number printed somewhere just below the CPU, or sometimes in the PCI slot area - it will be there you just have to look, ( sometimes its obvious other times not so) and make sure no cards are coving it. Write it down.


Once you know the brand & model go to the manufactures site.
