Realteck High Definition Audio Driver Installation Failure

Thanks for replying so fast and offering to help.

I’ll try booting into Safe Mode and downloading new drivers. But part of the problem is figuring out which driver is the issue.

You suggest “Update the sound driver from the PC maker's Support Downloads webpage for your exact model,” but I don’t have a PC maker, as I build the system myself from pieces.
So should I go to the Motherboard maker’s site? Or maybe the graphic card maker’s site?

Device Manager shows 4 items under Sound, Video and Game Controllers.
I’m guessing the issue is not with the Schiit controller or the Intel Display Audio.
So that leaves AMD High Definition Audio Device and High Definition Audio Device.
I can’t tell which one is at issue. Neither says Realtek anywhere.
Maybe somewhere in the long list of Details on each driver there’s something that ties to the error message, but I haven’t found it.
Is there somewhere I should look? Also, sometimes there are two rather than one AMD High Definition Audio Device shown here.

Device Manager also now shows 4 High Definition Audio Controllers under System Devices.
The number shown here also varies. As is usual since I rebooted sometime recently, one of them shows that it’s disabled.
Here’s what shows on the driver properties for each:

Microsoft – PCI bus 0, device 27, function 0

Microsoft – PCI bus 2, device 0, function 1 (disabled - Code 22)

Microsoft – PCI bus 0, device 3, function 0

Microsoft – PCI bus 1, device 0, function 1

Is it correct to assume that the PCI bus 1 and 2 controllers relate to the two graphics cards?
If so, then I’d assume the disabled one relates to the AMD High Definition Audio Device above.

There are also 3 items under Audio Inputs and Outputs. A Speakers item, which seems tied to Schiit, plus two Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (High Definition Audio Device) items.
Both say they come from Microsoft.

Again, thanks for helping.
