I have an issue with Realtek(R) Audio, even if my laptop isn't old (Lenovo P53s).
On Realtek(R) Audio wired headset and wired earphones has very low mic volume (Bluetooth earphone mic works well, but I don't like to use it, because to cuts off internet sometimes), Laptop's mic array works fine though but I want to use headset's or earphone's mic in order to capture sound from the more distance. I found out that my wired headset's volume is good on High Definition Audio Device. My approach to install it was trying to install Realtek drivers (from Lenovo website). Its setup asks me to uninstall current Realtek drivers first and then restart the PC to install the new drivers. For some reason I'm failing to install Realtek drivers at that moment (I get some error code like 001), but the good thing is that I have High Definition Audio Device and my mic works well in that state. However, after a few moments I get the notification that PC needs to be restarted to finish setup the device (Realtek). I tried to disable driver installation by hardware ID using Disable automatic driver install on Windows 11 and Disable automatic driver install with Group Policy methods but they don't seem to be working. How can I block Realtek Audio installation after restart or fix low mic volume on it? Thanks.
Edit:
I tried to install Realtek drivers again. After uninstallation and restarting I got the same installation error, but somehow Realtek Audio was installed without restarting itself. It seems that there is even no reliable way to get that High Definition Audio device installed.
Edit 2:
That was my fault because, as you see in the screenshot, I configured Allow not Prevent installation. Now I did everything by steps, but when I turned on the internet, High definition device dissapeared from sound settings and in device manager appeared in Other devices with exclamation mark with error: The installation of this device is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator. Any solution for this? I found only that I need to change gpedit settings and it isn't the option in my case. I'm able to solve it by disabling Windows updates. But how can I apply disabling Windows updates only for one device? I tried to enable some setting on gpedit which tells something like "do not install driver updates with windows updates" (don't remember where exactly it is) and also tried to hide all updates which includes Intel(R) word using this tool but it didn't help.
