Note to Brink

Realtek has released R2.83 drivers on their web site around near end of January 2024 & early February 2024.
however, R2.83 has the old 6.0.1.8186 drivers but updated MS digital signatures & with certain Realtek HD Audio manager files updated
(in short, R2.83 is pretty much a "retreaded" R2.82 release and does NOT support "newer" Realtek HD audio chipsets like ALC245 {DEV_0245} & ALC897 {DEV_0897})
