It is also not uncommon for the Realtek HD Audio Manager to get uninstalled, either due to a bug or an unsuccessful update. Sometimes, the software could mysteriously go missing on a computer. Specifically, with the Realtek HD Audio Manager, you can enhance your PC’s microphone capabilities, use customized sound effects, efficiently manage audio equalizer, etc.ĭespite its many benefits, the Realtek HD Audio Manager comes with its issues. Still, when present and used, its inherent features and tools can be utilized efficiently to boost your PC’s sound system, fix sound issues, manage audio devices, and do a whole lot more. The HD Audio Manager isn’t exactly required.

It allows users to get more out of their PC’s Realtek HD Audio Driver and your PC’s audio at large. The Realtek HD Audio Manager, on the other hand, is more of a management interface and control panel for the driver.

Otherwise I am said to have to look elsewhere.On Windows, the Realtek HD Audio Driver powers your PC’s audio card and is a necessity for your computer audio to properly function. If the problems have indeed been addressed and this program is working again, it would be nice for whoever is maintaining it to change it to 'v1.6' (or the like) add a note under the download that it has been updated and is working for the latest versions of FF. They just see MozBU seemingly working flawlessly to BU their FF and assume it will restore it when the time comes. I am afraid the 4 and 5 star reviews are from people who have not tried to actually restore FF. Unless this project has been taken up by someone who has made it compatible with the newest versions of FF, it can no longer be trusted. I notice the version that appears here has been updated as of Dec 2016, however it's the same numerical version I have, so ? I ended up having to restore FF by copy/pasting all Mozilla folders from a BU I had of my entire drive on an external, to my laptop. No error msg's in BU or restore process, so it appears to work, but fails to restore a working FF.

But the last time I tried restoring FF (v37.0.1) from this program it did not succeed in restoring FF. I used MozBU v1.5.1 for years flawlessly to both BU and restore FF.
