• Why would I need these Realtek Hd Audio Drivers Vista if they should already be installed in my computer?

• What should I do before I try manually changing my audio drivers?

  You should look online to see if your drivers are truly the problem. You should create a system restore point, and ideally you should backup your computer on external hard drives.
