Realtek HD Audio Manager missing after updating "High Definition Audio Codecs" R2.82.

Did someone try to update the realtek "High Definition Audio Codecs" driver from R2.81 to R2.82 (2017/7/26)?

I did it and I wasn't able to "resurrect" its audio manager.:s7:
I had to find, download and install the previous version (R2.81) on another non-realtek website to get it back... :banghead:

I've installed it on a client's computer and they haven't reported any issues as of yet.

Thanks. :bored2:
I re-tried (because first time the audio manager wasn't in the system tray): same result...

Yup, the same one I tried, 10 and 7, haven't tested W8.1 yet.
