Windows 10: Realtek Won't Reinstall, Stuck with Speakers High Def Audio Device

Hi, so recently I was having issues with my pc forcing me to unplug and replug in my headphone and mic to get them to work every time my computer turns back on. The solution I found online was to uninstall and reinstall my Realtek Audio Drivers. So I did that...except it didn't work. I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall my drivers directly from the website when I didn't get a prompt to reinstall, and I got a "Realtek audio driver failure 0001" message. So then I installed DDU to try and fix the problem. It didn't work. There's nothing to uninstall, and nothing can be reinstalled. Rea

No audio on Asrock 990FX Extreme3 MB w/Realtek High Def "speakers"

This all started after i update the bios and drivers for my motherboard from the manufactures website, its also in conjuction with a windows update. In my sound control panel the speakers for my monitor were controlled by "Speakers Realtek High Def Audio"
.. This was always my default device.

In the list I also have

Nvidia HDMI Output Ports 0-3 (ALL "NOT PLUGGED IN")

Realtek Digital Output

Speakers 2-Logitech G35 Headset

The only way I can hear any audio is to set my audio default device to the Logitech G35 Headset. All other configurations I have tried do not work. I have went to device manager and uninstalled Realtek's drivers, updated drivers, etc.. I have tried most
of the fixes I have seen on these forums and nothing is working to restore sound to my two monitor speakers. I have always just had the HDMI cable coming from my Nvidia Graphics card and it plugs into the back of my HANS-G 28'' monitor. As long as "Speakers
Realtek High Def Audio" was the default device I could hear sound. Now since the updates I have no sound and when I do these restarts after uninstalling audio drivers Windows will default sound back to the USB headset everytime. Im ready to call it quits as
I just tinkered around for almost two weeks to find a workaround for my monitor not having the correct resolution detected. It still isnt detected and I had to find a loophole to get it to work. Does anyone out there know what the hell is going on???

NOTE: When i ran windows 7 my monitor was correctly displayed as a Hans-G monitor. It displayed in the correct resolution and I had sound. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem but unfortunately the manufacturer of my monitor does not seem
to be in buisness anymore and there are no drivers out there to download. I also have downloaded and ran latest Realtek Win10 drivers in compatibility mode and tried setting the driver to just a generic high def audio device.. No sound.. Please Help

 

Conflicting Audio Problems-Realtek vs High Def...

I have a Dell Inspiron 5577, bought only a few months ago and I've been trying to fix this since day 1. The laptop audio, whether through the built-in speakers, external monitors or headphones, keeps popping and crackling. So I followed other people's advice and switched to the High Definition Audio Device. The crackling and buffering stopped, and sounds decent through headphones, but the laptop's speaker audio sounds like absolute unadulterated garbage. It sounds thin and tinny, as if the driver completely lost hold of the internal subwoofer function that Realtek had.
I'm also an absolute novice with computers so please have mercy.
Thanks in advance.

TL;DR
Realtek driver: popping, crackling, and buffering through any output (Headphones, speakers, internal speakers)

Native High Def driver: No popping, sounds great through headphones. Internal speakers sounds terrible. No body, too thin, perceived 1/3 of usual output on 100% volume.

 

Audio playback on rear and center speakers is not working.

I have tried the first step in the link you gave me already and the RealTek audio device was not listed under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. The second step says try uninstalling your audio driver and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver,
again I've tried this but the Realtek Driver does not show up. The last option says to use the generic High Definition Audio Device (should I uninstall the high def audio device I am currently using and then reboot and scan for new hardware and update it)?
I don't see how that would solve the problem though
