Windows 10: Very bad aufio Realtek MSI

Hello,
I've been reading the HDA drivers thread for some time and decided to ask for help in a separate one. My PC has a MSI B350 TOMAHAWK Mobo that features Nahimic 2 support. I've been using Nahimic since 2017 and I am very happy with it because it really gives improvement.

However, I've also had quite a few problems with it because of Windows Automatic Updates-they screw the audio 10/10 times. Usually everything could be fixed with a roll back. This is the reason why I've been stuck with 1803 since summer 2018. Actually, I don't remember why but I was forced to make a fresh USB installation of 1803 back in 2018 and luckily it worked fine with Realtek 8531 + Nahimic 2.5.31. Otherwise I'd still be stuck somewhere in 1703...

Nevertheless, a few days ago Windows started having problems with all kinds of USB flash drives-"Access denied stuff" and no fix seemed to work. I tried "upgrading" to 1909 but even that didn't solve it. It must be mentioned that this was the first time the audio quality wasn't screwed after update. So, yesterday I made a fresh install of Windows 10 1803 on my PC and since then I can't find any drivers that work properly. The problems are very low volume and constant static noise. All Realtek drivers that I install sound awful, maybe worse than the MS driver, including the trusty 8531. It seems like my old Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini has better audio. I tried "upgrading" to 1909 again but that doesn't help too. The versions I used are: 8619 (recommended for the mobo), 8497, 8899, 8186, 8816 and maybe others that I don't remember. They all sound bad.
