Hello, recently my realtek audio disappeared. The files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek\Audio\Drivers include only RTIUpd64.exe and USetup.iss, not any of the other files. Attempts to install the realtek drivers from both the ASUS website (Z170-A motherboard), and the realtek website have failed to add the drivers. Realtek is missing from installed devices, and no realtek devices are seen in the sound manager. I still have audio from my USB speakers, so the issue seems isolated to Realtek. I tried doing a clean boot of Windows 10 (The "reset" boot, not a fresh install) to no avail. Any help getting audio drivers back is appreciated.
Thanks
Update: Attempts to install a new version of the driver (Both R281 and R282) do not add any Realtek folder to C:/Program Files, only to C:/Program Files (x86).
