How to reinstall Realtec HD Audio card?

Windows 10 problem:

Not sure why it has disabled my Realtec HD Audio Manager in January - but I still had generic system sounds.

Have downloaded and installed the new driver v 6.0.1.8198 Feb 2018.

In about 2 weeks all my Windows sounds disappeared - NO YouTube Video sound, No Music files sound, No sound in PPS, and no System sounds.

I was not able to find a cause - all hardware worked fine, Realtec HD Audio Manager displayed correctly, has perfect sound on rear output speakers and front earphones - Right and Left perfectly. Same for SKYPE - good sound.

And yes, my computer was turned on and all sound volumes were 100% with all Audio Player progress bars advancing - silently.

It was recommended as a fix that I uninstall the Realtec audio driver from Device manager .

Here comes the BIG Windows problem:

After rebooting the computer - yes I do have sound that Microsoft highjacked to generic onboard Audio chips.

The Realtec HD Audio device is no longer listed in Device manager, and can not be re-discovered by hardware search even though is still plugged in as always in the MOBO.

I see that there is a major and wide spread confusion between Drivers and Devices.

I have no access to my Realtec HD Audio device(hardware card) to reinstall the Driver that was working all peachy until deleted.

Any search on the web becomes useless as it always directs to Device manager and Realtec HD Audio that is supposed to be in there to update/reinstall the Driver (software).

Again - is there anyone who can help me to reinstall the not-missing missing hardware?

Many thanks in advance

sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
tab" as step #5 suggests.

Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

Thanks for your continued help.
