new gl502vmk realtek audio driver from asus website messed up something

[necrophyte]

today i noticed that asus offers a newer realtek audio driver for my notebook (gl502vmk, bios 302, w10enterprise 64bit - https://www.asus.com/lk/support/Download/3/871/0/7/AKlM57EfLcqOGiAN/45/) - V6.0.1.8142 instead of my previously installed version V6.0.1.8051.

so i tried to install it, but after the automatic uninstall of the current driver and the restart, the installation of the new driver failed with error -000. though device manager still stated version ...8142 as the currently installed driver, so it seems to have succeeded. what i noticed is that when i plugged in my headphones, there was no red rog pop up window anymore that said that i plugged in headphones, and which also automatically switched the volume to my default headphone volume (which differs from my speaker volume).

still, i wanted to have a successfully installed audio driver, so i uninstalled it and tried again - same. so i went to the realtek website and tried the newest driver there - 6.0.1.8186. this one installed without any errors, but still there is no red rog pop up window anymore when i plug in my headphones and the volume isnt changed either.

so i reverted back to 8051 - but neither then this pop up window and automatic volume change appeared!

so something seems to have been broken since installing the newest realtek driver ***offered on asus website***...
i really only want this rog pop up window again that appears when i plug in my headphones and which automatically switches the volume to the one used when headphones are plugged in.

any help?

the file has been removed from the download page, so obviously they have as well spotted an issue with it 😉
