The ASUS ASUSTeK UX461UN audio driver helps Windows communicate with the laptop’s sound hardware so speakers, headphones, and microphone inputs can work correctly. Installing a compatible driver may resolve missing sound, recording problems, or audio devices that are not detected after a Windows installation or update.

Key Features

• Audio playback support: Enables Windows to use the laptop’s built-in audio hardware for music, videos, calls, and system sounds.
• Microphone functionality: Supports audio input for voice chat, online meetings, and recording applications when compatible microphone hardware is detected.
• Sound device controls: Allows Windows and supported audio utilities to manage playback levels, recording volume, and available output devices.
• Troubleshooting support: Replacing a missing, damaged, or incompatible driver can help address audio errors and restore normal device recognition.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information to confirm the installed operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, choose only a package that explicitly supports your version and the ASUSTeK UX461UN. Compatibility may vary between releases.

1. Download and prepare the driver. Review the package details before downloading. If the files arrive in a compressed archive, extract them to a folder you can easily find. Save open work and consider creating a restore point before making changes.

1. Run the installer. Open the extracted folder, launch the setup program, and approve the administrator prompt. Follow the on-screen instructions. If no installer is included, use Device Manager, locate the audio device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.

1. Restart the laptop. Reboot when prompted, or after installation finishes, to let Windows load the updated audio components.

1. Test playback and recording. Play an audio file, check the selected output device, and test the microphone in Windows sound settings. If sound is still missing, check mute controls and headphone connections before reinstalling. If the update introduces problems, use Roll Back Driver in Device Manager when that option is available.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Touchscreen or pen not detected after a clean install: Install the ASUS chipset and Intel Serial IO drivers first, then restart. Check Device Manager for unknown HID devices; the UX461UN touch panel often needs these before Windows recognizes it.
• Intel graphics driver install fails or brightness/rotation breaks: Use the ASUS-approved Intel graphics package for the UX461UN, not a generic Intel installer. If Windows Update replaced it, roll back or reinstall the ASUS version, then install the NVIDIA MX150 driver.
• Version conflicts after updating: Install chipset/Serial IO, Intel graphics, then NVIDIA graphics in that order. Avoid mixing DCH and legacy packages; if installation blocks, remove the old driver in Device Manager and reboot before retrying.
