Windows 10: Realtek Audio issues

Realtek Audio speakers, Windows 11My audio drivers had disappeared once and made the system unable to detect the speakers. After reinstalling the drivers, the problem was fixed... temporarily. A few hours later, the sound vanished from my computer - even though the drivers were working. It is a software issue. These updates may have caused it as I had installed them a while before the sound stopped working:2022-05 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 11 for x64 KB50138892022-02 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 11 for x64 K

Audio driver issue (realtek)

I have hp 15-bc008tx, windows 10 creators update.

As you all know it comes with b&o play which is the main culprit in my issue. I found an solution online( link at the bottom) which suggested me to remove realtek HD audio driver (default) and go with high definition audio driver from Microsoft and to uninstall
realtek from control panel. I did as said and audio worked fine for one reboot no issue whatsoever but from the next reeboot onwards though the driver is still high definition (Ms) issue came back. I repeated the steps ,again fine audio for one reboot and
messed up for next reboot. I guess even though realtek is uninstalled it's somehow loading in the subsequent reboot. Please help me changing driver everytime for a movie is not enjoyable.

Realtek Audio issue

Thanks so much for your response Fireberd.
Yes, I see where you're going. The HDMI that is functional is on the AMD Radeon card. The HDMI on the integrated panel is NOT functional which I just checked after receiving your response. I've pasted here the rear panel of the 8100 with respective ports. So neither audio or video are working on the integrated ports but the USB's are. I'm still wondering if this isn't a Realtek audio driver issue because while the current driver displays the 5.1 audio option in <Sound> it doesn't display the optical audio option for the rear panel port yet another Realtek driver I tried displayed the optical port but not the 5.1 option so it seems like I'm just not getting it right with the Realtek drivers I tried. Granted, a Realtek driver isn't going to resolve the integrated video issues but that may be a whole different driver issue just as the USB's are working on different support. Been on the Dell site many times but other than the Realtek driver I have installed I can't find any other audio drivers listed. Going to see if there's a Dell forum I can post to. I know other end users have upgraded this MB to Win10 and supposedly it's 100% functional. Thanks again for your response, let me know if you have any other suggestions!
