The newest driver I can find for the Realtek ALC887/897 can be found here:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B840M-HVS/index.asp#Download

That board uses the same audio codec as the A520M-HVS. The Realtek ALC887/897 audio
codec is used by a wide variety of boards from all manufacturers. See if the driver
I listed works for you, if not then search other budget boards that have the
Realtek ALC887/897 audio codec and try their drivers.

I suspect the driver I linked should do the trick though. Drivers for older boards
are seldom updated on their product page even if newer ones are available.]]> Wed, 02 Sep 2026 02:17:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26135&PID=201962&title=a520mhvs-audio-driver#201962 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26135&PID=201961&title=a520mhvs-audio-driver#201961 Author: Ezel82

the Realtek audio driver version currently listed for your A520M-HVS motherboard is 6.0.9384.1.

here are much newer versions of the Realtek audio drivers direct from ASRock:

6.0.9556.1 RTK {released August 2023}

6.0.9539.1 RTK {released late July 2023}

try any one of those new versions

It's just standard Realtek ALC887/897.

Personally, I wouldn't have bothered with a vendor driver. I'd have just let the OS install the default driver and leave it at that. I guess you get some sort of an extra control panel if you install Realtek software?

Regardless, you should be able to control various settings from Control Panel -> Sound. From there, you can enable/disable, change levels, make default, change mic gains (Recording tab), and so on.
