Windows 10: Realtek High Definition Audio not on my Desktop

Hey guys, I recently got a new desktop and and got a clean installation of Windows 10. When everything was booted, I noticed that there was a red X over the speaker, saying "no speaker or headphones detected" even though my headset was plugged in. I went to Device Manager and saw that High Definition Audio was installed, but no Realtek High Definition Audio. I installed the driver and restarted but it did not appear in Device Manager. Eventually I got my audio working and everything was hunky-dory.


But almost a day later it stopped working and the drivers dissappeared, putting me back at square one only this time nothing I did the previous day worked. I also tried adding it as legacy hardware but I am always met with the Code 10 error. I have tried updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling and I can't understand what is happening.


Any feedback would be much appreciated.

:)

 

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

Download a newer version of the driver from the realtek website, install it and check if the sound comes back.
