Realtek driver

[HelpMePlease84]

I do not understand as when i try download the realtek driver it asks me to restart but when i do this i press on it again after restarting it makes me download it again. as well as this my headphone jacks do not work as my headphones do not appear as a device or anything also the only sound comes through my monitor (hdmi) where i have to plug my headphones is for them to output but i cannot input with the mic

I'm assuming you're talking about Realtek AUDIO drivers here?
 

Which motherboard do you have? Do you have a picture of what it is you're trying to install?
Usually, you don't even need any driver other than chipset and graphic, as Windows will find and install them itself.

 

Are you trying to use the FRONT panel IO for your headphone/mic or the BACK panel IO ?

You need the Realtek driver for your (integrated) sound card, not the headphones. The headphones will never show up, since they only take an analog signal from the jack output.

 

Try clicking on your speaker icon in the right corner and select a different playback device other than your monitor. Because usually when the monitor is selected other devices are muted. Choose "Realtek Digital Output" and plug your headphones into your motherboards jack output.

It should work even without a dedicated driver.
