Windows 10: Realtek High Definition Audio issues

Alright... here we go

Earlier today i was having some audio issues and after messing around with the settings for a while i thought it would be a good idea to just remove the device through the sound control panel and when i went to do that it asked me if i would like to go ahead and get rid of the drivers for the device as well and i did... upon restart i setup the device and decided to listen to some music but when i went to do so there was no sound. i spent a good few minutes trying to figure out what was wrong and eventually got it to work but due to the fact that my audio was messing up i decided to make sure my microphone was working to and the sound quality was pure garbage. and it was because the enhancements tab was removed from the properties tab of the device which was the only thing stopping a ridiculous amount of echo from being thrown at anyone listening. realtek hd audio manager was also gone and when i took a little peek in the device manager to try and see if something was wrong i found that the realtek audio device i used to have was missing from the sound, video and game controllers tab. and i have tried every single possible thing i could think of that would even remotely help. i tried to reinstall the realtek drivers which required the old drivers that no longer existed to be removed which the i guess it did on its own because it said that upon clicking next it would uninstall the old drivers and would reboot and upon reboot it would go ahead and automatically install the new ones, my PC rebooted, i logged in AND... nothing happened, the hd audio manager was still missing, the realtek audio device was still missing from the device manager, and there was still an ungodly amount of echo coming from my mic

i have a a320m-s2h gigabyte mother board, rx 580, r5 3600x, and im running on windows 10

sorry for the terrible grammar and spelling, i am tired and my hands are very cold... please help

(edit) im not even gonna ask how but i did the same thing ive been doing for like 3 hours and this time it just worked for whatever reason so... yay?

Realtek High Definition Audio not working

First of all, the Realtek High Definition Audio Device did not automatically reinstall after uninstalling and rebooting. I had to go into Add Legacy Software and select it to install. The Device Manager crashed while installing it, which it always does.
Upon starting it up again, the Device is there, but with a warning sign next to it indicating it is not functional.

Second of all, when I did the rest of the steps, the Driver Manager told me specifically that the drivers for Realtek High Definition Audio Device are up to date.

Thank you for trying to help so far btw

 

uninstalled realtek high definition audio

So I was uninstalling programs to make space on my computer and I mistakenly uninstalled realtek high definition audio and now there is no sound on my computer, and i was wondering how to fix it. I don't know which program i uninstalled but maybe you could
tell me what one and how to fix it.

The programs I do have are; Realtek card reader, Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver, and Realtek high definition audio driver
