Windows 10: GeForce 1080TI, not able to install Audio Driver, Windows 10

So I've stumbled upon an issue that I can not seem to understand or work my way around.

I recently built a new system with the following specs:

Z490 ROG MAXIMUS XII HERO
Core i9-10900K
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVME
Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18
ASUS ROG Ryujin 360mm

Windows 10 version 2004 (OS Build 19041.508)

As you may notice there is a graphics card missing. Well, I think I did what a lot of people did, I built a computer for the 3080 and right now I'm in the waiting room. So I decided to throw in my old 1080ti for the meantime.

Most things are working very nicely, games run better, boot times are laughable etc.

However today I ran into two issues.

My first one was that I tried connecting my Blue Yeti microphone, which is fully plug-and-play, but Windows would not install it. Instead it sits under Other devices in Device manager with a yellow exclamation mark. Tried different USB-ports. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers. Disabling, re-enabling. Rebooting. Etc. No luck. Windows just comes up blank when I search for drivers.

My next problem was that I realized that I could not select either of my DisplayPort-monitors for audio. After a bit of sleuthing around I realized that something was missing, Nvidia High Definition Audio is nowhere to be seen under Sound, Video and Game controllers. Instead I have another yellow exclamation mark under Other devices - PCI Device. The only PCI device in my computer is the 1080ti.





Same story, I try reinstalling the GeForce drivers. They reinstall fine but there isn't even an option to install any audio drivers, only graphics and PhysX. I try older drivers, no difference.





I think maybe the PCI-E power cables are not fully in, they are. I become afraid that I've somehow damaged the card when I took it out of my old rig and put it into the new one so I remove it and put it back in the old computer. Works perfectly fine, audio and all. Same goes for the Blue Yeti, no problems in the old computer.

I then thought that perhaps I've gotten really unlucky and that there is something wrong with the PCI-E slot in the new motherboard, so I swapped the card to the other slot, same story.

A slightly interesting part is that when I enter the NVidia control panel under Digital Audio, it finds the monitors perfectly fine.





However when I go to the Windows Sound settings, they are not there.





I am sort of at a loss. These things are not "game breaking" but considering it's brand new hardware I'm not going to just leave it be. Any and all help greatly appreciated!

For those who just need to enable Dolby Digital Live 5.1 for your realtek sound card here is complete manual. Works for me in Win 10 Creators update (1703). Easy installation if you do not need these Dolby things just allow DDL 5.1

You also need to enable Test mode before installation of the driver.

Enable Test mode:

Step 1. Open the Windows command promt as "Run as Administrator".

Step 2. Run "bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" (without the "").

Step 3. To finalize the process run "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON" (without the "").

Step 4. Reboot and you're done.

To disable it do step 1 and run these commands on step 2 and 3:

Step 2. "bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" (without the "")

Step 3. "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF" (without the "")

Then do step 4 and you're done.

Then you can continue to installation of the driver.

I hope I helped you, if any questions, ask here I'll try to answer you if I'll be able.
