wrong hardware ID mentioned, AlexRe. HWID "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9D71" refers to an Intel SST Audio controller, not Realtek audio.
Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), expand Sound, video and game controllers section and look for either Realtek High Definition Audio or Realtek(R) Audio. Double-click on either one to view its properties, click on the Details tab and change the Property from "Device Description" to "Hardware IDs". Hardware IDs for Realtek ALCxxx audio begin with "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC"; (example of ALC888 on my HP computer is ID "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0888&SUBSYS_103C2A6C").
OR if you have a Realtek SST Audio device like Realtek High Definition Audio(SST), on your ASUS X542UQ laptop PC, open Device Manager, expand the Sound, video and game controllers section and find Realtek High Definition Audio(SST), and get the Hardware ID number for that device, which begins with "INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC"
