Windows 10: Audio Devices completely undetected

I recently got a new graphics card and installed new drivers for it. Upon doing so suddenly all devices that used an audio jack have gone completely undetected by my pc. Additionally, my monitor’s speakers are also going undetected. The only audio device I can get to work is my blue snowball microphone, which my pc has also been trying to use as a speaker. I’ve tried everything I could think of to fix this but haven’t been successful. I’ve checked everything in the device manager, made sure the devices didn’t somehow just get disabled, tried updating drivers, tried installing new drivers from Realtek’s website, disabled other drivers, and nothing’s worked. Also when I say completely undetected, I mean it. None of my audio devices show up in the device manager or after a basic troubleshoot test, so everything I’ve seen online hasn’t been much help since they usually just go under the assumption your device will show up under one of those. If anyone’s experienced this and was actually able to fix it please let me know. I imagine buying a USB audio splitter might be able to fix this, but if I don’t need to spend any money I’d rather not. Thanks in advance
