Windows 10: Problems with Realtek drivers and New build

I'm really struggling to get this fixed. I just put together a new build using an Asrock Fatal1ty gaming k4 motherboard. It has realtek ALC892. On my previous pc, i could have my speakers plugged in the back (3.5mm), and my headphones plugged in the front, and switch between the two from the speaker in the bottom right of windows. For some reason my new build can't do that. I've been doing a ton of research, and it looks like Quexos was having the exact same problem in this other thread Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [2]. He said he fixed it by using the 8328 drivers instead of the new ones (mine are ver 8619). That's great, i'll run the old drivers no problem, but i cant figure out how to install them. The drivers from asrock had a setup.exe that i ran. The 8328 drivers i downloaded from softpedia doesn't have that. I try to install manually through device manager, and it says the latest drivers are already installed. I ran the Realtekaudiodrivercompatibility thing in powershell in the 8328 download folder, and it said no inf file found in the provided location for the audio device: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_18499893.
I'm confused, shouldnt the softpedia download have the inf file in it for my audio hardware? Someone help please!

I need a new audio driver that works with Windows 10 that is not Realtek.

My computer just underwent the recent Windows update and with it the updated Realtek audio driver. I don't know if I had been using a Realtek driver before that point, I never had a reason to pay attention to it. My audio input through any mic I connect
since the update is horrible and I need a new driver that is not Realtek, as I have updated it again, un and reinstalled it and followed all the steps listed in other similar questions such as:

If the issue persists, then try to uninstall and re-install the audio driver.

1. Press Windows Logo Key+X. Click on Device Manager.
2. In the list of hardware categories, look for the device that you want to update, and then right-click on it to Uninstall.
3. Follow onscreen instructions to uninstall it.
4. To re-install, either you can restart the system or install the driver from the manufacturer’s website (recommended as they will have updated drivers).

This has not worked for me; I need an option that is either a guaranteed fix which I don't think is available, or a new compatible driver.
