Whether or not the manufacturer of the laptop or desktop provide their own drivers, Realtek's drivers will generally work fine but without the customizations that are provided with the original software. In most cases, these are minor and the trade-off of using the Realtek HD Audio Driver versus the ones that come pre-installed is having a more stable, and sometimes more customizable audio experience.

You can manage the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver within the device manager of Windows, though being OEM, it might be difficult to access settings without diving in deep.

In the end, Realtek High Definition Audio Driver can be useful if the drivers that came with your PC are having issues.
