Realtek Drivers are not showing up in device manager

Hello,

I have a tried both USB speakers, rear port, and front headset port on my desktop tower and still have a red 'x' on my system tray sound icon. The error says no speaker or headphones are plugged in. I've reinstalled the Realtek audio driver both from ASUS
website and direct from Realtek and I am still not able to see the Realtek driver in device manager. The driver does show up in Apps & features. I've turned on show hidden devices and the only driver under Sound, video and game controllers is AMD High Definition
Audio Device.

I have already reviewed the thread below and this did not help resolve my problem.

My windows updates are current. I've even tried rolling back updates to a month ago when my audio was working.

System:

Asus X79-Deluxe Motherboard

Windwos 10 Pro x64

OS Build: 18362.592

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Headphones do not show up when Realtek is installed

OK, so this happened to me on my laptop. It wanted to use the realtek drivers no matter what. Let me show you what to do.
Step 1. Open the start menu and type 'Device Manager' in the search bar. Click on the result.

Step 2.

You'll see this window appear.

Step 3.

Expand the 'Sound , video and game controllers' category.

Step 4. Find 'Realtek High Definition Audio' in the list, then right click it and select Properties.

Step 5.

Click on the 'Driver' tab near the top of the window.

Step 6.

Now click on the button that says 'Roll back driver'.
If the button is dimmed, make sure your Realtek drivers are currently installed.

Step 6. If you did it correctly, the system should ask you to restart to finish. If it does then you finished the tutorial correctly!
Once restarted, Open device manager again using step 1. Expand the 'sound, video and game controllers' category again.

Step 7. If it says 'High Definition Audio Device' then you did it right. Here's a pic for example purposes:
