[SOLVED] Need help with Asus H81M-A drivers

[mcan226]

Hello, everyone.

Yesterday I built a new computer and put my old hardware in another case with a fresh windows 10 64bit installation. The thing is that the dvd with the drivers of my old motherboard became corrupted and I can't use it to install its drivers. I went to the mobo's help page but there are a lots of drivers there, and some of the have a "show all" option; I don't know which ones do I have to install.

Also, when I downloaded one , a folder was downloaded instead of an executable file. How do I install it?

I'm very noob with these kind of things and have always relied on the dvd to install the drivers, so any help any of you could give me will be highly appreciated.

thanks in advance!

What extra drivers fo you need? Post a screenshot of your "Device Manager" window.

The only thing I know for sure is missing is the realtek audio. The computer is working fine though.

That screenshot does not show any missing drivers, are you sure you have RealTek device? Can you re-post that screenshot with "Audio Devices" branch expanded?

Hi, I'm sorry I took so long. I had a test last week.

What I meant is that I'm certain realtek is not installed since when I expand the audio device branch it is not there.

The drivers installed must be some generic drivers that the motherboard has pre installed, I guess. I haven't install anything at all cause I don't know what Do I have to install. i.e. there are no motherboard drivers installed by me at all.

This Asus support page lists Realtek audio drivers under "Win10 x64". Have you tried installing it?

No I haven't because that's also another problem, I don't know how 😛. Do i just run the executable file?

By default, ASUS's site only shows you the latest version of each file - the "show all" function is to get older versions.

Generally, if it comes down as a zip, you'll want to extract the zip file (to a folder), then run the .exe or .msi file it contains (in this case, "ASUSSetup.exe").

As it's an old board, you'd hope that Windows would have the drivers for the main components already built in to it. If not, you'd probably want the chipset, LAN, and audio ones (plus VGA if you use the integrated GPU instead of a dedicated GPU).
