My AMD drivers just broke Realtek and I cannot fix it.

[-Arke-]

Hello there!! Title is pretty much self explanatory. Yesterday I happened to upgrade my AMD drivers from 18.x.x to 19.5.2 (recommended). Then, at night when I was playing and using Discord, many comrades told me that my voice didn't sound right and they could barely understand me. I then tried to upgrade my audio drivers by going to my mobo manufacturer page (Asus) but neither those drivers or the ones availbile in the Realtek page had actually worked for me. I tried going into device manager and right-clicking to uninstall the audio devices and their drivers before using the setup.exe that come swith the audio drivers, but still got no way to fix this.

Also, AMD doesn't offer to download my old driver (which I tried just in case), so I don't know what to try next.

My system runs with Windows 10 Educations, I7 8700, Asus Z370G, and a Gigabyte Rx580 8Gb if that matter for any purpose.

Thanks in advance.

What error are you getting when you try to install realtek driver?

I get no error but neither does exist the Realtek sofware so my voice sounds terrible (no noise reduction, no micro amplification and so on). Also I cannot "easily" switch between devices (headphones vs speakers), I must go through Windows > Options > Audio in order to do so. So, it seems like even the Realtek software exist in my system, it just won't work at all.

Also, I've gone through all these methods with no result.

Also, if that helps, it seems like my Realtek directory got some missing files. Some guides mention going into C/.../Realtek/HDA but I have no HDA inside, so now I'm going to try deleting the files "brute-force" and installing the driver again.
