Windows 10: Windows Sound Device Issues

HI All, im having a sound device issue. Everything was working fine. Then one days all my sound device where gone. Even those for my hdmi port Asus F555L Laptop. I eventually found them in Device manager under System Devices instead of Sound, Video and game controller. I uninstalled all of em and reinstalled em all. worked fine for about a day and then everything went back to system settings. This started after the latest windows update.

Furthermore my Realtek sound card is nowhere to be found. I can even uninstall its drivers because its not on the list. When i reinstall the realtek drivers i regain my sound card for about a day untill it disapears again. I did a complete format and reinstall and once updates where done my issue came back.


I tried installing a linux distro just to give it a try and never had that issue so i can confirm it not beeing hardware related.

:)
