After my computer froze during a casual FIFA18 playing session, I restarted my PC, and it came up with no sound at all. The following issues are present:
Red cross over the sound icon on the taskbar.
Under devmgmt, there are no devices under Audio Devices except for my NVidia HDMI/GPU, which I don't use.
Under devmgmt, there are two instances of High Definition Audio Controller, one of them with a yellow triangle present.
I isolated the faulty yellow triangle one to be the onboard controller, but apparently it is not linked to a device.
I can't uninstall either HD Audio Controllers. The both come back 5 seconds later no matter what I try.
DxDiag lists no audio devices at all. Nothing is recognizable.
I have always had Realtek as my default audio driver. MoBo CD is useless, chipset drivers are installed, and Realtek HD Audio installation seems to work but in the end almost no driver files are present, let alone some audio manager UI or exe files which are non-existent.
Running an updated W10. Mobo is an Asus M150-C.
Any help would be appreciated.
