Realtek card reader: what is it? Solved

Question

Hello, I would like to know what "[Realtek] is and what it is used for" and how we can find out which one we have ??

FairyNess · Accepted Answer

Realtek is the name of a manufacturer of computer components, especially sound cards and network cards.

The program in question is an audio driver (or a network driver depending on the situation), it acts as an intermediary between the user (you) and the sound card (or network card).

REALTEK Gigabit and Fast Ethernet NIC Driver is a network driver
REALTEK high definition audio driver is an audio driver

Look at post 8:  Edit: Realtek has a chipset for sound and network (Ethernet) so both.

If I sum it all up, Realtek is the largest manufacturer of integrated audio chipsets and integrated network interfaces, which allows for both sound and Internet, and Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC is my network card!! Is that right??

I have a question: For some time now, I feel like my internet speed is slower, could it be because of my network card?? Are there any updates for my card??

-pico.l: Are there no updates for my network card?? Regarding your link, the first part, it doesn't concern me since I use a cable, except for the phone line, it's possible that it's not in good condition, the second part, I don't think I have viruses because I run scans every week, I have 4GB of memory, I have more than half of the hard drive space free and it's in good condition, I don't have many add-ons! So I suppose it's because of the cable! The third part, my internet speed is slow on all the sites!!!

pico.l · Answer

I don't think your problem is related to the driver update; an older version (of the driver) should also work  Give the brand and model of the PC or the name of the motherboard

yann · Answer

Hi   Realtek is a driver for sound  it's an essential driver to listen to music on your computer (among others ...)  if you no longer have this driver or if you don't possess it (which is not normal)  you can download it  on this site: https://www.touslesdrivers.com/      PS: it's not a problem if it's not Realtek, it can be another one but just make sure it works for your computer  hi there, I hope I have helped you well, if you have a question don't hesitate or if really contact a pro   hi    best regards

pico.l · Answer

Hi Yann,  If you read the posts, you’ll understand that it’s not about the Realtek audio driver.
